This article comprehensively investigates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to support traffic enforcement, highlighting its operational application by the Military Police. The article examines the functioning of intelligent systems—such as automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), cameras equipped with computer vision to detect risk behavior, and algorithms capable of identifying violations in real time—highlighting their potential to optimize overt policing, minimize subjectivity in traffic stops, and increase the efficiency of police actions. It also analyzes the legal and ethical framework governing the topic, in light of the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) and the General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD), as well as the impact of these technologies on driver privacy. Finally, it presents guidelines for the responsible and strategic implementation of AI in traffic enforcement, reconciling technological innovation with the protection of fundamental rights and the strengthening of public safety.
