ALPR-Automated License Plate Recognition

"Help keep 'the crims off our roads" ?

I don't count refusal to pay exorbitant ACC levies and therefore not registering a bike as 'criminal'.

But somehow I don't think this spyware isn't gonna differentiate between the degrees of lawbreaking.

So what would you do if you got pulled up in a normal situation?

And to that end, the introduction of this will see further Police resources directed at inconsequential offences, away from serious ones. That is to say, they'll be so busy writing out tickets for people with no current vehicle licence or evidence of inspection that other offences will go undetected, such as removing the tolerance from speeding means they'll already be on the side of the road with a 2km/h over the limit customer as I pass by at 135km/h, talking on the cellphone and eating a burger.

Not will, when. I heard yesterday that installation is already progressing.

bout fucking time NZ caught up. More automation of road policing may even free up cops to make the communities safer too

It will bring in a real revenue stream for the government and allow them to lay off more police due to the efficiencies of this system and to help offset the cost. They wouldn't employ this technology if it wasn't going to pay for itself.

Take my helmet off, unzip my jacket and smile

I have only been through ONE rego and warrant check in the last 5+ yrs...and BTW I never said my bike wasn't registered, it was merely a general observation.

Which is exactly what you'll do with this new technology. The camera itself doesn't hand out the fine, an officer nearby as a part of the operation is dispatched to pull you over.

"I don't see any way the priviledges this technology allows, such as being able to trace how a given individual (guilty or innocent) moves, might be abused"

Paula Rhodes, on Morning Report this morning, when asked about WoF checks, stated it would NOT be used for low level offending such as that, the "bar has been set much higher" and the cops in the cars would not have access to that part of the database*.

Yeah, Right.












*Not yet, anyway. Wait until the bugs are ironed out, and a few 'revenue projections" have been run.

The old bill in Little River ( the old one ) has this installed

He even popped in to remind me when my Rego was up ( 3 times )

He knew where I was most of the time , even if I didn't
