The rules for using the Falcon Eye police system, which identifies drivers instantly, have been approved.

The National Security Committee has approved new regulations for the use of the Falcon Eye license plate recognition system by police. The technology, which has been in operation in Israel for a decade, quickly provides information on drivers, including criminal records and traffic violations, to aid in investigations and road safety.

According to the new rules, data from cameras will be stored for different periods: two years for fixed installations and one year for cameras in patrol cars. In the case of a search for missing people or persons in danger, the information will be stored for a month. The system will also help the police track down violators of bans on visiting public places.

The responsibility for the operation of the system lies with a police officer not lower than lieutenant colonel, appointed by the chief of police. Access to the database will be strictly limited and provided only to authorized employees. This solution will allow for more effective investigation of crimes and ensuring public safety.
