Many have voiced their concerns regarding the use of these cameras. Organizations such as [[No ALPRS]] (No Automatic License Plate Readers) are made up of state and local organizations to fight against the implementation of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.noalprs.org/about|title=About|work=No ALPRS|access-date=2025-08-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250823135123/https://www.noalprs.org/about|archive-date=2025-08-23|url-status=live}}</ref> Tools such as ''DeFlock'' make it easy for people to identify the locations of the ALPRs, with there being over 30,000 reported worldwide.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://deflock.me/|title=Find Nearby ALPRs|work=DeFlock|access-date=2025-08-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250728224453/https://deflock.me/|archive-date=2025-07-28|url-status=live}}</ref>.
