ANPR at the pump.....

Its not the fact that the police use anpr to catch the scumbags who deserve to be nabbed, i dont have a problem with that. I do have a problem with cameras popping up all over the place including covert ones and the "evidence"/images whatever being used for "other" purpose, as this one surely will be. Just like the congestion charge cams being used for public survillence after the end of the charging period. They wernt designed for that use, but theyve been perverted for alternative uses, the information being used by who, for what, and why. Thats MY worry, and cams arent a cure for problems that we should have COPS on the streets to sort out. Hope that clarifies my position a little. Regards, deltaf.

Fair play mate, good point. Don't even get me started on the congestion charge though!!! I think one thing we all agree on is we need more plod on the streets. Camera's are certainly NOT the cure.....

Themoss, wins the prize for the most sense in the least words. !!!!
We need, more less cameras. More importantly we need some who will give the scrotes some pain. They all know there is very little chance of getting pulled and less chance of a significant penalty.
Until "they" stop thinking that cameras and wussy little fines are going to deter crime nothing will change for the better.
All the filling station ANPR will do is inconvenience honest motorists and add to the nice pictures of cloned/stolen plates. The scrotes will just drive off and nick fuel elsewhere.

Hi Tom.
Glad I entertain you mate..
I try to show the humourous side of my job and let the funnies flow, where permissible...
