euroitalian 62 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 They have been using this software in central London for a while, they have fixed cameras on all they entry roads. Anyone who drives a stolen car into the monitored area is usually nabbed pretty quickly. (They always look surprised to be caught?). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 You can't even fart or pick your nose in London without it being caught on camera these days, still funny why people think they can drive stolen cars around though ?? Most of the systems over there are fixed cameras, hooked up to central plate processing, the system on the M25 can process 50,000 plates per hour and track them between two fixed points to see if they are speeding, which could in theory produce 50,000 speeding tickets per hour. Whilst also checking to see if any of the plates are stolen vehicles. The easy way around it, is "cloning" another vehicle's identity so all the tickets go to that owner, chances of ever being stopped are minimal! This system looks to be different in that it is mobile, and scans plates as it drives around, guess it links into a central IT system remotely, quite useful stuff. I remember the old days when they radioed in for a "registration and ID check" after asking you "is this your vehicle sir?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
