What is the point of ALPRs if not for the database capability? To prove small town Sally the real estate agent is cheating with Bill the bank manager?

It forces a paper trail of warrants and other "official" pathways that we would normally consider proper policing.

If another district wants to ask a question, they have to follow the appropriate chain of command and use the correct tools.

Flock appears to have been a way for them to work around all of that and just answer any question they had willy-nilly.
