The updates to the in-car ANPR systems used to take about 14 days (no not live data as you would expect) but has recently be improved to 7 days so any time shortly after the 7th is when they set up the stings road side observation & checking.

Depends where you are in the country, as well - I understand many forces can download the data every 24 hours.

Our local traf- sorry, roads policing unit, has only got ANPR in half of the cars... so there's a bit of a fight for the keys at shift change.

When I done my last shift up here in Scotland almost 6 years ago you updated the drive from all sources (PNC plus assorted intel databases) just before you went out to the car then downloaded all the read data (including GPS location of where the VRM was read) at the end of the shift which was then uploaded into the databases and available for interrogation by those and such as those within a few minutes of completion.

Even PNC data was downloaded 'realtime' as it were at shift start, albeit there may well have been a delay of sorts in getting data pushed back into the PNC system but notanywhere near 7 days....

Surely these days the cars have a wireless link to check these sort of details?

Criminals can do it with a single trip to Carphone Whorehouse. It's about time the Police could too.

Many will leave base having done an update just prior to leaving. If the reg that is checked isn't on the update then the "exception" is sent over wireless for a live check. This keeps the number of transmissions to a minimum.

We had a little panic yesterday, on master Vamps behalf, he is not aware that for a few days his car would have shown as uninsured if the 24 hr update applies, his number would have been deleted for 5 days........   The fault of Admiral Multicar not noticed till the paperwork came through.....   I changed a personal plate from one Mig to the other Mig and put the old number back on the old Mig, NEVER in the discussion did I mention his car, a Focus, but the paperwork showed my private number on his car and not on swmbo......rang them up, they admitted it was there error and therefore there would be no charge for the alterations.....
