When Raul Mas drives around his hometown of Coral Gables, he knows he’s being watched and recorded.

“These cameras operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year day or night,” Mas said. “It doesn’t matter and those images are being stored for three years.”

He’s talking about the ALPR or Automatic License Plate Recognition cameras. There are 14 stationary, three portable and two mounted in patrol cars in Coral Gables.
