Exclamation QPol get Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology

POLICE will soon target crime hot spots by digitally capturing number plates with the help of Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology.

Police Minister Jack Dempsey said ANPR, which has been used in relation to road safety since 2011, would be used for broader law enforcement purposes for the first time in Queensland.

"Units will be trialled in unmarked vehicles over 12 months in areas with significant crime hot spots including burglaries, sexual assaults, stolen vehicles and drug related offences," Mr Dempsey said.

"ANPR captures an image of a vehicle's registration number, an image of the vehicle and the time, date and location of the photograph, all of which will be used to help in police investigations.

"The ANPR units will be another tool police officers have to help them keep Queensland communities safe.

"The government is making sure police have the best equipment available, which is why in the 2013-14 budget $70.6 million was set aside for new and upgraded operational equipment."

Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett said the expansion of ANPR to broader purposes could include using the technology to identify the movements of vehicles or people implicated in criminal offences.

"ANPR is an efficient technology that will be used as an additional tool to help police investigations," Deputy Commissioner Barnett said.

Deputy Commissioner Barnett said accountability mechanisms would ensure the appropriate deployment of ANPR units and address any privacy concerns.

"ANPR units will only be deployed for broader law enforcement purposes under the authority of a commissioned officer," he said.

"This initiative will be thoroughly evaluated at the conclusion of the trial."

Revenue raising at its finest.

Police should catch real criminals.

What about my rights and freedom in this nanny state?

I got a speeding fine and I dont know if it was me.


Thread can probably be closed now.










On a more serious note, its about time. Awesome piece of technology, that every police car should have.

Are these units able to do the recognition in real time? That would certainly be interesting for catching stolen cars.

Don't get me started on this subject. Traffic cops have had this for a while. Just blatant money grabbers for the greedy govt targeting the easy way to make money by calling it road safty . How about using the money to prosecute the lowlifes that broke into my house . they Identified them , but apparently Fingerprints aren't enough evidence to prosecute someone who steals a couple of thousand dollars worth of my belongings from a house they were never allowed to be in after they forced their entry !

Had them in NSW for a while now, mainly used for revenue raising instantly identifying unregistered vehicles or vehicles whose rego has been cancelled due to owners not paying fines pull them over and issue more fines. Most HWP cars have them and leave them on all the time....keeps the revenue meter ticking over nicely.

Yep right then and there. Also can pick up if the registered owner is currently licensed, registration, etc. Been used in NSW for quite some time

It's not revenue raising. If you pay your rego, you've got nothing to worry about!

Good Technology that will get alot of Unregistered and UnRoadworthy cars off the road, how anyone can complain about Police getting equipment to be more effective and efficient in their job is beyond me.

Agree with others. This is a good bit of tech.
It's not revenue raising at all. It's about locating and removing unlicenced drivers, unregistered cars, wanted drivers etc etc.

It isn't foolproof because if you're unlicenced but driving a fully registered car in someone else's name it won't pick you up, but if you're stupid enough to be driving your own car whilst unlicenced or unregistered, then tough!!!

Get these people off the road...

BS, Victoria has it and there is still all these crappy 90s cars getting around on bald tyres with one working brake light.

It can't detect unroadworthy cars at all, just unregistered.

It's an extention of the existing ANPR setup to expand into cross referencing with wanted subjects.

I don't get it either. Much faster than manually running plates. Link it to cross reference the registered owners against prior or current matters and it becomes more powerful.

I think you will find a good amount of unregistered and/or unlicenced drivers have unroadworthy cars.

On its own you are right but that is beyond its capabilities.

Bingo.

The more people they grab driving whilst suspended or driving an unregistered car the better, while they are at it the police have a chance to look over the vehicle and review its roadworthy condition.

Of course the system doesn't pick up if a car is roadworthy or not, however if they did develop a system that did detect that i'm sure we would have a number of posters complaining about the police having it to easy, or of course there is the revenue raising line.

I could be reading more into this than others. The interesting part is

Police Minister Jack Dempsey said ANPR, which has been used in relation to road safety since 2011, would be used for broader law enforcement purposes for the first time in Queensland.

"Units will be trialled in unmarked vehicles over 12 months in areas with significant crime hot spots including burglaries, sexual assaults, stolen vehicles and drug related offences," Mr Dempsey said.

"ANPR captures an image of a vehicle's registration number, an image of the vehicle and the time, date and location of the photograph, all of which will be used to help in police investigations.


so rather than use the camera for capturing unregistered cars - which I fully support, it appears they are going to capture the rego numbers in crime hot spots and use the rego numbers to assist in coming up with a suspect list. I am not sure that I can go that far in supporting the camera's use.

There are a whole heap of points on both sides -and it should have wider community discussion to fully understand the implications of using the cameras in that fashion and the potential to miss a potential suspect because of not using it

Two things I can see. - usually burglaries, thefts etc use stolen cars .? detecting them as stolen on the move is a prevention. good thing if reported early enough to catch them.
And if a car/cars are parked in front or around know criminal areas and picked up on these devices, wouldnt it be feasible to use the footage if something did go down in the future.

last but not least, whether suspended or unregistered, if you got hit by one of them . there goes your chance of getting your bucks from that car/person.

Had the same thing, but in the scheme of things i didn't really care. I don't want unlicensed drivers on the road causing a crash and then not getting money to fix my car because their insurance wont pay. Until some of you guys have an unregistered vehicle or unlicensed driver cause harm to a loved one or your property and then not get any financial assistance i don't think you will understand.

This is great news and i fully support it.

Victoria have had these for a few years, they use them in shopping center car parks driving along reading plates, if your car comes up with any outstanding fines, warrants, etc your car is clamped on the spot until you pay the money owed to the sheriffs OFFICE.

On the weekend they clamped plenty of cars at the Essendon V Collingwood at the MCG.
People were left stranded in the city, ONE GUY OWED $26,000.

No rego means no insurance (CTP).

I'll bet the people who complain about this being revenue raising would be the first to complain about getting injured by an uninsured driver...

no rego probably means no other insurance: comprehensive or 3rd party property, so the less unregoed cars on the road the better

It's probably a good use of the technology to track stolen cars, rather than expired rego...
