This video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=66&v=SFWCDUArMGs> (link starts at 0:66) shows how a software system provided by the proposed ALPR hardware vendor, Vigiliant Solutions <https://www.vigilantsolutions.com/>, enables similar workflows.

> CCPD adoption of ALPR would add to the collection that LAPD and LASD are already conducting in their jurisdictions in LA County. From the proposed policy <https://culver-city.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=5787790&GUID=F1AF631D-685D-43D4-AF3B-D995DF83F298>: "428.5 RELEASING ALPR DATA: The ALPR data may be shared with other law enforcement or prosecutorial agencies for official law enforcement purposes or as otherwise permitted by law..." According to CCPD Captain Sam Agaiby the Vigilant Solution software enables departments to "'check a box' to openly share the entirety of their local license plate catalog with every other police department who checked that same box". <https://steemit.com/news/@warrensz/culver-city-council-tables-police-surveillance-purchases>
