So someone will be selling an Infra-Red laser detector now for £600 that you won't know if it works or not until you get the summons in the post!

ANPR - Automatic Number Plate Recognition AKA Big brother is watching you (even when he's parked up scoffing doughnuts! ![]() It makes for easy policing. Coppers used to have to have a "nose" for dodgy motors, now they could be a plastic pig (PCSO) with 2 weeks training and an ANPR. They just wait for the computer to make a noise when a dodgy car (according to the computer) drives past, they take their snout out of the Take Away and pull said car. Question: With all the money spent on technology to catch motorists, is a similar amount spent on technology to catch more serious criminals? (and before anybody representing the rozzers comes on here and says that serious crimes are often detected while nicking drivers - It doesn't wash with me!) |
