ANPR recording all your movements, sir, for your comfort and security. In a big database in North London where your movement data will be kept for (as the Data Commissioner advises) as long as necessary only. Forever.

Thanks 7db...
Am I right in thinking these can only read front number plates? If so how awful that motorcyclists won't have nanny to look out for them...

[7db]

If they are pointing the right way they can read back plates too.
