And where do these mysterious police come from ? is this your paranoi finally taking control, or is this a the result of a criminal investigation and an audit trail through the data protection act and disclosure of information, or in your strange world does PC Plod think " ah wonder what 1984 has been up to today, I shall search for his car, oh that doesnt look like Mrs 1984"

What about the CCTV system which tracked the asians responsible for the July bombing, the Glasgow airport asians expressing their right to protest?should that information never have been released to the police? or crimewatch when CCTV has film of a paedophile or rapist leaving a scene, should this evidence never have been captured and handed over to the police....what is it exactly that you are so frightened of ? if the police should not see the film, who should ? you and the Daily Mail ? talk about working with one hand behind your back and policing by consent, may as well play cards all night.

Blahdy blahdy blah.......

One - The collection of data is happening (if you choose to disagree thats fine by me. It just shows me how stupid you are)

Two - Said data is misused (**** as above)

Three - Said Terror Laws are misused (**** as above)

Four - Said police have been corrupt (**** as above)

Five - I dont read the daily mail & obviously are more informed than yourself (**** as above)

If you disagree ask Levy where his DNA sample is.

Its the same tactic New Labour use if someone does says something they do not like, you complain about the DNA database or the 42 day incaration or the cctv cameras then you must have something to hide. You discuss about immigration you are a racist. You discuss about the government wasting money then they say you are stopping money going to build schools or hospitals etc etc.

I'm all for having a healthy discussion with anyone and enjoy it, I get annoyed when they try and play the guilt trip on you rather than entering into a discussion.

I have the greatest respect for the police and people who join the police, without them our country would be a mess. Our police are the envy of the world and we should be proud of them. But the last time I looked we are a democracy and people are entitled to question the merits of the big brother state after all the UK is "Leading" the world in having cameras throughout the country etc

Pew_Pew_Pew_Lasers!

Damn right I have something to hide - my right to go about my daily business without being monitored by the state.

Each time I think about it, the thought of buying a canal boat and removing myself from just about every database there is gets more appealing.

i think the moral to this story is if you plan to commit a crime get a fake set of plates made up on ebay for a similar vehicle to yours and go about your criminal buisness without a care in the world.someone else hundreds of miles away will get the blame.

How true...........

Hmmm, so upon asking the original question it seems nobody can confirm 100% what information the government is recording. How do you go about using the Freedom of Information act....

It would be safe to assume that registration number, location and direction of travel (plus time, date and place etc) are being recorded. The link to the guardian article probably gave the best overview and stated that the Home Office are looking to retain this data for 5 years. As one of the arguments for the storage of the data will undoubtedly by "national security" a FOI application is a waste of time in terms of establishing detail.

Reg number, location & directon are stored.

As well as speed & a nice little pic...

Speed for "info purposes only".

& Pic because any of the above is useless in court without it..
