[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/transport/article334686.ece And yes, I am accutely aware of the irony (if not the ridiculousness) of an American concerned about foreign civil liberty issues at this particular historical junction, but the ambition of this project is just wild. I mean, it is out there. It is pretty seriously 21st century. [QUOTE]"Every time you make a car journey already, you'll be on CCTV somewhere. The difference is that, in future, the car's index plates will be read as well," said Frank Whiteley, Chief Constable of Hertfordshire and chairman of the Acpo steering committee on automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). "What the data centre should be able to tell you is where a vehicle was in the past and where it is now, whether it was or wasn't at a particular location, and the routes taken to and from those crime scenes. Particularly important are associated vehicles," Mr Whiteley said. The term "associated vehicles" means analysing convoys of cars, vans or trucks to see who is driving alongside a vehicle that is already known to be of interest to the police. Criminals, for instance, will drive somewhere in a lawful vehicle, steal a car and then drive back in convoy to commit further crimes "You're not necessarily interested in the stolen vehicle. You're interested in what's moving with the stolen vehicle," Mr Whiteley explained.[/QUOTE]Imagine the Google Maps hack you could put together with this data. [/QB][/QUOTE]
