[TheList] Number Plate Readers

Thu Jun 16 17:56:51 AEST 2022

I'm told they are very common. A lot of the new Skodas being used for 
traffic duties are reported to have them. I wouldn't be worried about 
them on cop cars. Here in Tauranga the Council has a heap of ANPR 
Cameras & also spy on traffic via the Bluetooth connections as you drive 
past. Police have given the camera operator a police radio & callsign 
and he can usually tell them the last time a numberplate was observed, 
where & which direction of travel.

ANPR Cameras are only a problem if you have something to hide ;-)
