I had a dream.
In my dream I had a ANPR MACHINE in my car that had all the police vehicle's numbers loaded into it warning me when a cop was near .
Is my dream possible? are ANPR MACHINES available to us ?
Could we as a company get one and load numbers of people we dont want on our site for instance. 
I put it to the collective.#
Regards Denis.
Where did that go?

I would imagine a machine would be availble at a price, but its the database of police regs you'd struggle to get. Cant imagine the freedom of
information act covering them!

True, but if you look hard enough you would probably find the database on a cd on a train or in a landfill site!

I expect that people would run into problems with the Data Protection Act.
I dont know if this would be the case.

Yes you can do it. its not all that hard for an individual to do rather than buying in a system witch will have a cost. top tip ues an IR camera and
the ANPR becomes a lot easer.

ANPR software can be bought. It's in a lot of petrol stations; In my local Morrisons you can see the numbers being logged before they authorise
the pumps. The link to the database to show insurance/tax/MOT status I doubt you'd find.
A little birdy told me that the unmarked police cars have up to 6 different registrations each, so they can be switched about and not recognised.
Can't swear it's true but the little birdy should know...

Sounds a little tall - would lead to concerns about selling the cars on which they do aftera few years service.

Not really a problem at all is it, so long as the police keep a record of which cars see which reg's and providing the car is given a fixed reg
when it's sold on. It's essentially the same as buying a bunch of reg numbers yourself and doing the switch yourslf, only being given the
legal permission to record the switches.

I suppose it coudl be done like personalised plates which would be of course legal. Just not 5 sets of plates in the garage that they swap around
willy nilly.

Traffic department's unmarked police vehicles won't have switchable plates. Roads policing is an important job, but it's not the
Secret Squirrel Society!!!
I doubt very much that regional crime or drug squads will even use switchable plates (they certainly never used to). They just rotate a pool of
surveillance equipped vehicles (some are proper Q-type contraptions), or they hire cars if it's just a watching / following job.

What's actually quite funny is a whole bunch of the under-cover cars in this area have sequential plates and it's really easy to spot
them!

I believe there are smart phone apps that work as ANPR and people can update the central database with registrations of police cars that they see.
Someone at work was talking about it, so it might have been a theoretical app rather than one that's actually available.

Unmarked cars are easy enough to spot, they're the one's being driven by two people in police uniforms with a whole bunch of extra
mirrors, Or maybe thats just round here?
