Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) provides a powerful tool in the drive to 'deny criminals the use of the road'. Vehicle intelligence can link criminals to vehicles and vehicles to crime scenes. ANPR enables the police to intervene when these vehicles are identified on the public highway.rnThe underlying proposition is very simple. There is a strong correlation between those people who are guilty of various types of vehicle crime and those people who engage in criminality. In short, criminals are more likely to drive untaxed and uninsured vehicle, actions which are easily detectable using ANPR. As a result the odds on a criminal using a vehicle being the subject of positive action by the police rises from very slim to very high and even if not caught immediately, ANPR will continue to detect their presence and increase their vulnerability and risk each time they use the road.
