So much for the rego on hold bit - soon

**Big Dave** · 24th January 2014, 14:59

Was just doing a bit of research and hit this - and thought of the KB heroes. Coming soon to a NZ near you.

Mobile Automatic Number Plate Recognition (MANPR) units that can scan six licence plates a second are fitted to 75 patrol cars. They have caught 20,841 unregistered vehicles so far this financial year.
All 172 fixed speed cameras, six mobile speed cameras, 17 bus lane cameras, 183 red light cameras (gradually being replaced by safety cameras at 200 locations), 26 transit lane cameras and 21 sets of point-to-point cameras now check registration details.

You're not seriously suggesting people actually obey the law are you..?

I wonder how many vehicles have the plate SPIDI?
Possibly quite a few.

i need to start carrying handgrenades.

this *should* lead to an increase in police shot/stabbed.
unfortunately, probably only leads to more $$ for teh govt. and if any cops do get shot/stabbed, they're gonna give them guns on the hip

comply, citizen!

Me. I pay and ride worry free.

It's about optimizing Tax revenue - I'd guess that = unavoidable.

Just hypothetically speaking, your number plate was partially obscured by a loose WOF label?
Your bike is not detected, you get no mail.
You may get stopped and ticketed but you could probably thank them for pointing it out and get away with it.
Just say'n.

we have them now i reckon,those big safety transit type vans in police colours have that capability,just like trucks and buses can get camera tickets now,when they start to ticket you is another story

News today said the coffers were down a bit, so expect anything.

Talked about those last year, if not the year before. One was setup a few minutes ago, just before Newmarket Viaduct southbound on SH1...

Dave is talking about the next phase, general police vehicles being equipped with it.

Until they did the rego check - which would have been done by the time you reach for the brake. Then it's more likely you bend over for the full monty.
