Mr. Drew Harris:

There may be a legislative problem that we will also need to address. Such technology would, however, make a significant contribution to crime prevention and detection. There is a pattern of crime gangs obtaining vehicles and not moving them for some months. They reappear some time later. The ANPR system can be programmed to identify those patterns also; therefore, it has significant benefits. It has to be targeted at where we think the most benefits will be reaped in crime prevention and detection.
