exactly... it is prejudicial persecution, hence the tone of my initial reply.
Just because the technology is there and it's feasible doesn't mean they should do it... but then there is a lot of money in government contracts...
Surely if the sensors can detact a motorcycle, that ought to be enough for gathering 'statistics' - why the hell should they also record your numberplate, eh?
CCTV, Speed Cameras, National Databases... none of these things significantly curb criminal activity, or make the world a safer place - they are mearly used to control and oppress the innocent who comply... and we let this happen time and time again...
