Last Thursday evening, the police were aound on mass on the Horsham to Worthing stretch of the A24. At least 4 police cars and a scamera van. Also a police man hiding in a bush near the roundabout by Washington (although I think he was looking for his dog, as there was an unattended police dog van near by). They were pulling cars over left right and centre it seemed. I was stuck at 50 mph all the way through them and didn't get stopped. Does anyone know whether this was speeding related? It would seem that if this is the case then they were handing out lectures rather than tickets. Would be preferable than a ticket.

Sounds like ANPR.

Looks great untill you realise around 30% of DVLA information is wrong.

Interesting, but don't think it is speed related as they always list their locations here:

I have seen the same thing in Worthing which was definately the APNR thing.
