How do I request ANPR teams to operate in my area?
Discussion
Chaps,
I am genuinely concerned by the number of scum who drive in my area with no insurance, tax, MOT or anything else legal.
Is there any formal way I can ask the local BiB to do something about it - like setting up an ANPR van somewhere in the vicinity a few times a week? The area is East London, by the way. Do I write a letter to the local plod, if so, who do I address it to?
Oli.

Still awaiting a serious answer ... anyone?
Serious answer, that is as I have done it, but maybe not to your liking:
1) Don Hi Vis jacket.
2) Stand at junction with arm out-stretched holding either a timing light (good) or a hair-drier (not so good).
3) Point at said annoying penile pilot and ..
Volia, no more scrotes. I actually performed this operation at 11am ish on a Satruday morning as the mindless chavs were screaming back and forth outside my house, after returning from an all night call out.
A panda car when past, slowed down then turned around and asked me what exactly I was doing. Once I explained, said plod (and rather nice plodess) roared with laughter, then drove off leaving me to continue by antics unhindered.
I drew two conclusions from this 'flipped out' gesture:
1) Those that saw it was a joke laughed with me.
2) Those that thought I was genuine were genuinely crapping it and oh the reward

I AM impressed!
Ranks up there with borrowing a high-vis jacket and a large Omega with a few extra ariels on the roof; draping aforementioned high-vis jacket across the back seat and driving it very carefully down the slow lane of the M40 while wearing a white shirt with a dark coloured tie.
Timing light would be much better than Mrs zcacogp's "Snoopy" hairdryer though. I've heard of a police dog, but that would be ridiculous.

Write your letter request/concern to the Chief Superintendent of Police followed by the address of your local Police Station (obtainable from your own personal knowledge/local Library/Council Office).
Not knowing the Met area intimately I was hoping Tonyrec may have helped with the address.
I doubt the SC Partnership will be of much use as they are more interested in speeding than offenders into crime etc.
