Can ALPR devices see into my vehicle and use facial recognition software?

Unlike red light cameras, ALPR devices do not have illumination to aid in identifying the driver or potential passengers of the vehicle. The purpose of the ALPR is to identify the vehicle, not the occupants. If ambient lighting is sufficient or a subject is outside and near the vehicle their image may be captured. The ALPR system is not designed to be used with facial recognition.
