ANPR - Have Your Say
Discussion

The slow, quiet transition to "We have now integrated average speed checking availability within the ANPR network" would be the only thing to concern me.
We (in the traffic industry) already use ANPR for origin/destination surveys, and journey time monitoring, so it wouldn't be a big (technical) step.
Tinfoil hats, don't speed, blah blah, something something.
There are many perfectly reasonable and highly powerful objections to blanket ANPR and vehicle tracking.We (in the traffic industry) already use ANPR for origin/destination surveys, and journey time monitoring, so it wouldn't be a big (technical) step.
Tinfoil hats, don't speed, blah blah, something something.
"It stops me from driving my car quickly" is surely the weakest of them.

Need ANPR on every corner. That'd work for me.

Police - "Thanks to the positive feedback about ANPR, we have decided to install ANPR with speed monitoring on every road in the county"
This will happen at one point in the future anyway for sure.And road pricing is coming as well?
If ANPR was on every road it'd catch the cloned platers?
The bit about passing the information to private companies worries me. That's surely a question about collating info for roads charging.
I think that might come sooner than we all think.

They use ANPR with point to point cameras across vast distances in Australia to police highways, expect similar here for every long distance journey before too long.
Blast it....stop for lunch and a seven pints and a bottle of wine, three or four hours should do, then blast.Sorted.

I've seen new camera's popping up on polls near my town. They have 2 lenses side by side and I figured they're a new rash of ANPR. I think it's a useful tool but should be limited to uninsured cars or cars with 'markers' on them.
Didnt this type of thing always create more uses.The expert criminals will organise numberplate/ car swaps

This country isn't so unsafe that everyone needs to be tracked and logged every time they go for a drive A sad state of affairs, but I for one would trade this in for more safety. I guess you can't have both.
The UK has more CCTV cameras per capita than any other country in the world. I could be worng but there is something like six cameras for every single person (children included) in the UK

Great idea however the hardened crims, like my neighbour, just don’t update the V5 when they buy cars / vans which allows them to never bother paying road tax (over a year in some cases). They know unless they get pulled over, they will be ok.
Anybody doing serious crime will also either have cloned plates or just use hire cars.Every day a journey said:

Helping a friend move from Sussex to Dorset so that was perfectly justifiable. ANPR set up just further up the road, Sussex plates, got pulled. They knew.
It took all of 5 minutes out of my day.
I'm still all for ANPR.

Back in 2007 my beloved car was stolen.
3 days later it 'pinged' the ANPR camera going into Toddington Services.
The thief paid for pretrol (who the hell fuels up at motorway prices???) and then as he entered the entry slip back onto the M1 he was met with a three car stop.
I got my beloved car back.
He went to prison.
I like ANPR.

I learnt over the years that many of the "failing to stop" incidents were drivers who were uninsured, or over the drink limit. And nowadays add cloned plates to that.
So anything to get uninsured drivers, as well as the plate cloners, has to be as good thing?

British Security Industry Association said:
A report published by the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) estimates that the total number of CCTV cameras in the UK stands at somewhere between 4 million and 6 million. That's around 7.5 cameras for every 100 people in the country – the third-highest total on the planet behind the US and China
So yes, you are wrong on both counts. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
