Nah those numbers are weak. If you think about how the scanner probably runs at 20-60hz or something you could x20-60 those numbers for every second they were scanned!
That said, theres at least 4 scanners at every intersection in the main city near me that are definitely scanning the same car 4 different ways every time it passes. So i could believe 670million scans a day.
Its 6056 scans per device on average per day. Or roughly 4.2 scans per minute per camera.
Imagining a device hooked up to the on-ramp/off-ramp of the highway, and I imagine a camera could hit this easily.
Definitely seems accurate enough for a news headline.
It’s the back-end bit of “cities pushing back” that triggers my skepticism impulse. These devices are everywhere precisely because municipal leadership is so easily bought off (or outright installed) by the surveillance industry.
License plate cameras are scanning 13 times as many vehicles as exist in the world? Every month? That’s impressive.
Maybe it would have been less sensationalist to say they’re scanning vehicles 20 billion times a month.

About 670million times a day too many still.
Not that impressive. Each driver just needs to drive by at least one camera 13 times.
Because im a nerd and like doing math too.
20,000,000,000 / 30 days in a month Divided by the 110,077 mapped alprs (theres definitely more than that)
Its 6056 scans per device on average per day. Or roughly 4.2 scans per minute per camera.
Keeping in mind theres definitely more cameras than that so the ratio is even more favorable. Definitely seems accurate enough for a news headline.
