It is always a difficult question, to decide how much to spend making it easier to catch the stupid. It would be interesting to analyse past cases and see how much it might have saved, or freed up to chase the devious criminals who do clone plates, if anything.You'd be surprised how many dont
Back in the late 70's a friend got in with a bad group, he was only about 18 at the time with a wife & child, he worked for NCB where they were quite lax about attendance, sick days etc. (other people being clocked in & not turning up was a common thing). Anyway he was skipping work one day (although clocked in) & pulled into a petrol station with his mate to fill his car up, he mate jumped out & said that he'd go pay for the fuel.I filled it in, just out of curiosity.
Annoyingly, there was no question along the lines of "Do you consider ANPR to be a complete waste of time because any criminal with a bit of sense will be driving around on false plates, cloned from a similar vehicle?"
Oh dear,Bent coppers? Are there any that aren't?
Actually I reckon there are more bent MP's (650) compared to bent coppers (129,110 March 2020)Bent coppers? Are there any that aren't?
I don't think I like your attitude in general on this forum.It's not the job of the Police to make the law, but that doesn't stop them breaking it when it suits their purposes.

Ah well, at least the story had a happy ending.Said mate comes running out of petrol station & tells friend to drive off, about 1/2 mile down the road the mate gives him £30 & says "Here you go here's your share" Friend still at this point hasn't worked out what has happened, Another mile down the road there is a Police car blocking the road, looking in the mirror he sees another Police car coming up behind him. Went down for 2 years, changed the whole course of his life not in a good way, wife wasn't waiting for him when he came back out, so not all criminals have sense.
