Re: feature creepy
"God, it's been a long time since what I think was the first ANPR test on the Watery Lane overbridge just north of junction 5 on the M1. I remember going to have a peer through the window of the Portakabin just down the hill at the Prime minicomputer running the system. Mid 70s if I recall correctly. New Scientist had an article at the time which raised some questions about the privacy implications.
Edit: I see the article was 12th January 1984 by Steve Connor, so my memory was only a decade out!"
Sorry, are you saying that the real start of the surveillance society, logging where everybody goes, was in 1984? That's fitting.
