What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Department for Transport is advancing proposals regarding the use of camera systems to detect illegal number plates across major motorways in England. These trials are currently underway in south-east England and involve testing technology that identifies plates modified to evade ANPR systems used for speed and low emission zones. Under the proposals, police forces would gain immediate authority to impound vehicles equipped with these 'stealth plates.'

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposals suggest that drivers could face up to six penalty points, which would result in automatic disqualification for recently qualified drivers. The initiative is driven by concerns from police leadership and national security authorities regarding the use of highly reflective treatments, modified lettering, and duplicated registrations.

The Department for Transport published a briefing paper on LTRS, outlining a strategy that applies across the entire UK, involving the House of Lords.
