Rest assured it will be used to buy more police resources to ensure all vehicle drivers are registered. I can see permanent police checkpoints with little huts and barriers set up on all major thouroughfares in the not too distant future.

So the head of Bronz was not quoted saying something along the lines of "We need to spend more money on training....."

This will just go on and on, change the government and this will just go on and on, change the government and this will go on and on, change the government and this will just go on and on!

Change MMP to something like STV and it might "STOP"!

Very very close except the bill will be sent in the mail...

ANPR can process 1000 vehicles per hour static or mobile in both directions.

And it's already being used. I've seen the white Hyundai iLoad (same as the latest mobile speed camera units) with a huge forward facing (over the driver) and left side side facing IR cameras - at first I I thought it was Google Streetview, but it was a cop driving and it was going around the Manukau Westfield carpark lane by lane with about 3 marked cars in attendance. A mate has seen it in operation at a checkpoint near the Airport.

Only in pilot at the moment not production.
