as well as outstanding fines, missing court appearances etc etc without  .....

£6000 unit cost   Wow, that's cheap!!!

We just ordered new kit to be fitted to our traffic fleet, comes with a few more noughts than that! Just had a look at one they done as a taster - Excellent piece of kit though, but Bloody expensive 

Was talking to a policeman friend in the pub t'other day, he was extolling the virtues of a new piece of kit that was being trialed .. seems it records video, measures speed, compares speed to database settings (a bit like my TomTom does - hope its a tad more accurate!),  automatically records number plate info via ANPR, and has a permanent datalink to check that ANPR data for RFL/Insurance/MOT as well as outstanding fines, missing court appearances etc etc without the "operator" needing to do anything... if it detects ANYTHING that it "thinks" wrong it simply flags up an alert ... up to the operator to then decide if any action can/need be taken ...

Is that the sort of thing your new kit does

"big brother" certainly seems to be watching !!

You carnt get in or out of Swindon without going past an APNR camera....(unless you know the 'back' roads)..... I would think most towns/cities are the same....

Sounds like step 2 will be to remove the expensive flesh things from the police cars and have it automatically disable the target vehicle and do away with the driver..

Suits me!

No idea where ours are ....... considering SWMBO's car had been insured under the wrong registration number all year, there can't be many around & about us.

Usually mounted on overhead gantries 

And I carnt understand how fleet cars that are insured on vague fleet policies never get pulled or ticketed

More time to eat donuts push pens, jump through hoops, have the same training course for the 3rd time, turn up for court just for the 'client' not to 

Wish they'd invent sommat that would really save us time. They got rid of all the crime recorders because of the cuts, now we have to do em ourselves - more training. Sommat we could ring up & have a trained office staff member do in 10 mins, we have to go back to the office, wait 15 mins to log on to a computer, then fudge ballsup throw something at navigate our way around a system we hardly ever use to record a crime. All in all about 1hr out of our shift wasted 

fleet cars that are insured on vague fleet policies never get pulled or ticketed They do......(or at least I pull em)

ok, maybe I was just lucky on the trafic I rented for 18months or so....it was on fleet insurance...I saw the insurance policy that the guy that owned had.....it basically said....any vehicle I own/rent/lease and any driver I give permission to drive it is insured ....

I can't speak for Wiltshire but the local ANPR network filter out flagging up "minor" offences such as insurance / tax because the screens in the control centres are just a blur with them enabled, apparently. They concentrate on catching the murderers, rapists, big time criminals, etc.

Isn't that H21's line ........
