NP Tracker Telegram BOT: Enhancing Vehicle Lookout Scanning

Our NP Tracker Telegram BOT called @freeMIRRORBOT plays a vital role in scanning messages for any lookouts related to vehicle number plates. Each message received by this BOT undergoes a thorough scanning process to identify and extract valuable information regarding suspect and suspicious vehicles. These identified lookouts are then added to the National NP Tracker database, contributing to our crime-fighting efforts.

To ensure a seamless experience, users have the option to set up an ignore keyword scanner within their freemirror account. By default, this scanner ignores messages containing the keyword "##" in groups, preventing them from being scanned and added to the NP Tracker crime-fighting database.

We deeply value the support of our community in developing state-of-the-art software that primarily remains free for the benefit of all. To sustain and enhance our project, we kindly request your support through donations. Your contributions play a crucial role in keeping the project alive and well-funded.

Our dedicated development team is committed to providing the best software solutions to empower communities and combat criminal activities. With your support, we can continue to deliver innovative tools that enhance safety and security.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your involvement is greatly appreciated as we work together to create a safer environment for all.

The NPS-VCR vehicle database, which provides information on make, model, and colour
