Britain is to become the first country in the world where the movements of all vehicles on the roads are recorded. A new national surveillance system will hold the records for at least two years.

Using a network of cameras that can automatically read every passing number plate, the plan is to build a huge database of vehicle movements so that the police and security services can analyse any journey a driver has made over several years.

The network will incorporate thousands of existing CCTV cameras which are being converted to read number plates automatically night and day to provide 24/7 coverage of all motorways and main roads, as well as towns, cities, ports and petrol-station forecourts.

Meh, doesn't bother me too much. Better than tagging the population, plus if you really want to avoid detection, just use minor roads - we've certainly got enough of them

I thought we were to be tagged, ID cards. It's getting a bit difficult for me to move around now. I don't go anywhere near cameras (they steal your soul you know) so I guess I'll have to stay in and become a moaning old Bastard instead of just a Bastard.

I think the ID card idea has been shot right down. Hopefully, anyway.

You never know, they can't get enough of a bad thing.

wether your talkign abtou teh nanny state or the program- either do my head in in equal quantities!
