Re: @TRT - This data is increasingly useless...
"right next to where a serious offence of child abduction was committed. "
(1) If a track of number plates from an ANPR camera helped locate an abducted child, yay!
(2) Equally possible that cloned plates could pop up in two different places at once.
(3) They've got my DNA on file anyway.
(4) We're talking historic data here. Admittedly, I tend to forget what I was up to last week so remembering what I was up to three years ago... One would hope that CCTV or ANPR records from a child abduction case would be examined BEFORE the time scale we're talking about in this article.
Like I say, I reserve the right to change my mind about the "nothing to hide" point of view in the future should it affect me. There are far more erosions of privacy and infringement of human rights going on without worrying about this. Tip of the iceberg this is.
