Method and apparatus for warning a user about a suspicious vehicle

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing a warning about a suspect vehicle is provided. During operation automatic-license-plate-reading (ALPR) circuitry will scan a license plate and determine a current location of an owner of a vehicle. If the current location of the owner of the vehicle, and a current location of the vehicle differ, a warning is provided to the user of the ALPR circuitry. In an alternate embodiment, if the current location of all individuals who reside with the owner of the vehicle, and a current location of the vehicle differ, a warning is provided to the user of the ALPR circuitry.
