UK Police Expand License Plate Camera Systems

Posted by michael on from the glimpse-of-the-future dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to this article at the BBC British Police forces are widening their use of automatic License Plate recognition. One of the police officers involved says 'we can effectively deny criminals the use of the roads.' For those who don't know central London already has a network of number plate recognising camera systems to support the Congestion Charge system."

    Unless they put the plates on upside down to confuse the recognition system. Or maybe the Ministry of Peace has already thought of that.
