I mean! If you put cameras everywhere not “ protect” but to fine people all day long. What do you expect !?

Cracking down on this is crucial. So many people doing massive speeds in 20mph areas with no camera flashes. I have to video them myself and police does nothing

It’s super-difficult to enforce unless you’re pulling over drivers who have the wrong plate on their vehicle. If you have a ghost plate, you’re trying to evade some sort of detection, whether it’s ANPR or that you’ve cloned plates.<br><br>If the plate is cloned, sending a letter to the registered owner of the VRM is just pointless, as then the owner writes back “wasn’t me guv”.

Cloned plates were far less common on roads prior to the advent of digitalisation and algorithmic intelligence. They are, in fact, a (shoddy and unacceptable) response to the rollout of ANPR cameras themselves. <br><br>You are framing this discussion in the context of drivers&#39; behaviour. While understandable, that is ignorant. The problem is the unintended incentivisation of cloned plates that ANPR gives people.

So I guess that it goes without saying that the evidence proves how desperately we need those omnipresent surveillance cameras, right? RIGHT? And btw, who releases the plates in UK, Walmart?

We have youth shooting at each other with automatic Glock pistols daily here in the States, and the BBC reports with a very serious tone about fake vehicles plates in England. If only that was our main trouble.

It’s to avoid fines like ULEZ. Motorists are being used as a cash cow because governments are inept at managing the countries finances.

Number plates should be supplied from official sources with proof of tax stamped on them like in Germany. That would solve a number of problems.
