Errors mean innocent motorists could be caught up in police investigations
A report from the surveillance tsar warns of problems with recognition systems
Thousands of cameras take photos of 40million UK number plates every day
A network of ‘Big Brother’ spy cameras is misreading 1.2million number plates a day – meaning innocent motorists could be caught up in police investigations while criminals and terrorists escape scot-free.
A bombshell report by Britain’s surveillance tsar has warned of problems with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology, which senior officers insist is invaluable in preventing and solving serious crimes.
Around 9,000 cameras across the country take photos of up to 40million number plates each day.
But Tony Porter, the independent surveillance camera commissioner, said that an estimated 3 per cent could be ‘misreads’.
