The Daily Express reported on the rapid increase of Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras in the UK, quoting our Legal and Policy Officer Griff Ferris:
“This vast surveillance network indiscriminately captures millions of photos of innocent UK citizens every day.
“It is effectively a secretive national checkpoint system, collecting and storing information on people’s movements regardless of their innocence, a level of intrusion which is completely disproportionate and unnecessary.”
“‘Big Brother’ photos of motorists have doubled in five years“
