It will have less hair than your goats ... you probably wont like that ...

[Swoop]

like, if you drive your wife's car... and her beard is more epic than yours

Well, that'll fuck up the green voters...

Why ... ??? If they have doubts as to your identity ... and you have no photo ID ... they can arrest you and hold you in custody until your identity can be confirmed.

arrest? or detain? you should probably avoid using words while you're a fuckwit.
nevermind "identity" as you think it is.

Fixed it for you, but why does that not surprise me?

So much tripe on here.

I used to run ANPR in Christchurch. Ask me if you want facts.

I would appreciate your assistance with facts, in the interest of learning. Enlighten us.

ANPR is a set of cameras attached to a computer. The cameras read plates, and the computer compares the read plates to the list of wanted vehicles loaded into the computer.

A new updated list is uploaded each day. It's not a data feed to an online database. That technology isn't with us yet. Wireless feeds aren't fast enough yet.

You can tell the computer to alert to whatever databases you want. Unlicensed vehicles, vehicles registered to wanted people, vehicles registered to disqualified people, for example.

If you program it to alert to too much, it nuts off so often you can't deal with all the hits. So they don't alert it to everything.

WoF details can come from NZTA, but so many vehicles have no or expired WoF, they just don't ask it to alert to those.

Reg details are loaded from NZTA, but only vehicles with licences expired for over 12 months I.e. lapsed vehicles.

Disqualified, suspended drivers are from NZTA. It alerts to vehicles registered to such drivers.

From Justice comes a database of people wanted on warrant.

And from an internal database comes a list of wanted vehicles. E.g. cars used in crimes, petrol drive offs etc.

Basically, there's a lot of myths about ANPR. Even within Police.

Thanks RC, that's exactly what my friendly local policeman told me a while back. Now there's a few disappointed KB'ers who need to whip up a storm in a thimble on another topic...

I had some fun eith it in my last few days in the job.

I set it to alert to the number plate of the National motorcycle trainers patrol bike.

I programmed it to think that plate belonged to a convicted bank robber, and 2as wanted in relation to a bank job.

Then I drove past his bike, and got the photo. Printed it, popped it on the wall in the office.

Good times.

My last few days were fun.

Remember ... with NPR cameras ... they don't have to stop you immediately. They can just send you the bill in the mail ...

There are fixed NPR cameras ... and some (in increasing numbers) fitted to patrol cars ... Not all them have it yet. Those that don't ... will just radio in a plate number that attracts their attention. Or plate numbers at random as they cruise ... a sort of Police lucky dip ...

ANPR is an expensive system. When I left there were only 13 nationwide. I don't think that number has grown much if at all in the last 2 years.

You've raised owner liability offences. Interesting topic. When can they just send you the bill in the mail?

Only for very specific offences. Parking offences, stationary vehicle offences (expired WoF or reg on a parked car), number plate offences.

The only cameras which can produce evidence leading to a ticket posted to the owner are approved vehicle surveillance units. Red light and speed cameras are the only approved vehicle surveillance equipment.

ANPR is not approved vehicle surveillance equipment so Police can't post out tickets based on ANPR hits.

Re lucky dip. More a case of unlucky dip.

but we're told it's never about the money, it's about saving lives.
