Automatic Number Plate Recognition - Cops Cars and Bailiffs on BBC 1

Is anyone watching BBC one at present on the cops, cars and bailiffs programe ?

 

Isnt the ANPR system they use brilliant.

 

The more uninsured drivers they get off the road the better if you ask me. Its usually the uninsured ones who also have something else to hide so its great when they also get done for other offences at the same time.

 

However, surley it is possible to get around the ANPR. Obviously false plates do it, but that is why the punishment for false plates is very high so as to deter people from using false plates.

 

Now i know that its illegal to display false plates, but is it illegal to display falae plates in addition to the correct plates ?

 

Is it legal to stick random numbers and letters all over the back of a car to somehow try and disguise the true plate ? Would this confuse ANPR ?

 

Now dont get me wrong, im not suggesting that this is something to do. As i mentioned earlier i detest uninsured drivers, but as criminals get more and more clued up to ANPR they will increasingly look towards legal and illegal ways of getting around it.

 

Obviously the rear of a car with numbers and letters strewn all over it would look wierd and attract attention from a traffic cops, but would it fool ANPR ?

Why? I think anyone that has no insurance or lisence or both should have their car crushed and have NO option to get it back.

 

the poor bloke in the range rover got a shit deal , Hire top of the range car probably cost £600 a day or more to hire then get dumped in the middle of London lol cos the owner owes £14k in fines :blink:

They never used to be able to read 2 line square plates... been a few years since I worked with it though.

 

Very impressive system though... I notice some new cameras in the centre of Leeds just as you're going under the railway bridge, I presume they're ANPR. The more uninsured/un-taxed cars etc. they get off the roads the better.
