Hell yeah. Except every cop and traffic camera has the ability. So that's gonna be alot of mapping. Probably impossible given cop cars and LEO are on the move constantly.
And there are plenty of hidden cameras as well. I know for a fact that many of the portable signs that display your speed and flash a warning if you're over the limit are ALSO able to read license plates and immediately alert the police. They were using it to look for stolen vehicles when I became aware of the system, but that was 7 years ago and all it takes is a little tweak to suddenly have a record of every car passing by.
where I live those run off of a little solar panel. if we're talking about the same thing, I doubt that it has ALPR function
