Crooks will use a false number plate - so it is not a deterrent for them.

And what privacy? Your phone calls & email messages are tracked, everything you buy using debit/credit cards are tracked, your address info is tracked. You're filmed inside any shops, on roads etc.

Even from Google map anyone can see picture of your house.

We are just one step away from putting tax on oxygen.

PS: Use bike at least it doesn't have a number plate (yet).

With upto 61% of cars uninsured in some parts of the country and the police unwilling or not able to do anything the status quo will continue.We live in an information society but there are not the people to use it once its collected except to make elaborate reports.

ANPRS cameras you see on lamp posts, at junctions etc., are these like, you know, 'bluetooth technology' accessed or something like that or linked (somehow) to a central data base via the little antenea mounted on them?

What powers them?

Who has access to them?

I have seen a lot (ANPRS units) going up of late in my area and I have no concern over them being there because they are of no threat to me legally - but privacy wise it does concern me.

Also seen going up are blue boxes (3" x 1 ") with two 3" finger like protrusions on them.

These are on every other 4th or 5th lamp post - no idea what they are for - any pointers?

This step is a disgrace and an outrage - and just because some things are tracked does not mean that the wider use of such surveillance is any less of an imposition.

There has been a lot less criticism of CCTV in our town (which runs NPR software) since it caught a murderer.

I don`t mind being monitored. If someone wants to watch me plod around Halfords looking at oil and grease - no problem. The same with anywhere else.

If it makes criminals life a little more difficult, I`m OK with that too.

Having said that, I`m pretty laid back and can`t remember when I last felt actual anger as an emotional response in any context, let alone motoring and it`s often comic book ancillary antics.
