ANPR opt-out

[Chesterexpress]

Buzby, people were discussing the use of ANPR/Police and stolen vehicles, and not the use of it by Tfl or DVLA.

Rob, brick wall springs to mind where some people are concerned regarding what ANPR can and can't do.

Nail on the head there Chester.

Not me. Another figment of your imagination?

Thanks for that - after 7 months I think I've had more than 1000 other posts to contend with. That said, the information is still ture and completely valid. My protagonist, like the Duracell bunny just goes on and on and....

No trouble, I had no idea whether it was true or not, but it only took 45 secs to find. which you could have done before issuing a denial

'Issuing a denial' FFS get a life! I did not recall it, but just because RobbieBoy thinks it germane, the information provided was both accurate and relevant. Also, it's irrelevant here.

Dear me - and where was this exclusion of TfL mentioned. ANPR is in use by many organisations. TfL (as I understand it) provide a data feed to the police to it is certainly relevant.

As I noted earlier ANPR is simply another technology that works within the parameters of 'sods law' - just as folk were fooled into believing the TV Detector Van myth, ANPR appears to be taking over as nobody with any objective view on data capture appears to be interested!

buzby for once will you accept that you really don't know everything....I know that must be hard for someone like you, however it really is true.

It was stated that ANPR was used in the detection of stolen vehicles. you were the one who said it wasn't and then babbled on about DVLA, Tfl etc. It is a well known fact that the police do use it for the detection of many different crimes, and that includes checking vehicles and there owners.

Might I suggest buzby, that you learn to read what is being said and stop trying to twist it to suit yourself. Just a suggestion, but one that I am sure many on here would appreciate...

[Chesterexpress]

Oh and by the way, your suggestion that someone contacts DVLA in order to find out their details, when not connected with a motoring offence is advising them to commit a criminal offence.. Therefore if that is the sort of advice you give, then I would suggest that everyone takes anything you say with a pinch of salt.

Insults? I'll certainly accept that I don't know everything - that said, my interest in the misuses of ANPR are a special area of interest. Since the current postings were based on ANPR being an aid to wiping out vehicle crime, I simply pointed out this was not the case, and never will be an effective method compared to traditional policing - I've already shown how a local force values it - what more proof would you need? Still, since ANPR isn't the holy grail you think it is, if you wish to continue to fool yourself, feel free.

It's called 'being resourceful' - in much the same way as DCAs, Corporate Britain and even Clamping companies operate. A shame if your supposed moral values prevent you being motivated in a similar way, however if my pet had been run down by a car, I can assure you I would use such a tactic. There is no stipulation to any 'motoring offence' it is a 'reasonable cause', so do keep on with these irrelevances won't you?

[Chesterexpress]

buzby, first off there were no insults whatsoever, truth yes but no insults.

As for you advising illegal ("resourceful") activities, I suggest you take your ill advised advice somewhere else.

If your pet caused me to have an accident, then it would be me coming after you the irresponsible pet owner.

[buzby]

For someone who has been a CAG member for barely eight weeks, that's pretty rich! I'll treat that with the contempt it truly deserves. As for you coming after an irresponsible pet owner - wow, why not extend this to irresponsible horses and children too? If you're driving that fast that there is an 'accident', you share or are wholly responsible for blame... but that's an argument for a different day.
