Normally, an unverified report such as this will not cause the vehicle index to go on a database that's accessible to patrol officers.
What normally happens when a report such as this is received is that the person reporting is asked whether s/he is prepared to make a statement and potentially attend court to give evidence against the driver. The report of the manner of driving (if recent) is passed out either as an 'official' or 'unofficial' complaint. In both instances the vehicle will be looked for at the time, and stopped to see if there is any obvious explanation for the poor driving - drunk, drugged, unlicensed, tired, etc.
If the complaint is 'official' (less than 10% of such complaints become 'official'), a statement is taken from the complainant, the driver may be interviewed under caution either then or later, and be considered for prosecution. Supporting CCTV/witness evidence may be sought.
If the complaint is 'unofficial' and the driver is not stopped at the time, several forces operate a scheme whereby the registered keeper of the vehicle is sent an advisory letter.
That's not quite true these days.0 -

Your confusion and stupidity was at one time slightly comical, but it has now become tiresome.
If I had claimed the CI job to be mine, I could understand the logic, if not the point of your accusation. If you had the first idea of how much CI work can go into a Section 1, you wouldn't criticise if a job they had worked on was described as theirs.
So, if you wish to go round the houses trying (and failing) to score points, fill your boots, but I'm tired of you. It seems to be what you spend your time doing on this forum, so I guess you must derive some pleasure from it.

It is for my force, and is a very similar procedure to many other forces with whom I have connections.
Perhaps you could explain what you think happens in your experience and how you know this.Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.0 -

ANPR cameras will flag up vehicles that have been reported to be involved in several offences.
Of course you would know that if you were a police officer.0 -
Just to clarify for the OP, if still monitoring this thread...
If a complaint is received from a member of the public about manner of driving, the vehicle index will not automatically be placed on the ANPR database. At that stage, it doesn't pass the criteria to have it added to the database.
There are very good reasons why this is. People may have their own reasons to make a complaint, often to get some retribution for a road incident involving them, or perhaps more personal reasons.
Also, the incident may have been misconstrued by the witness.
ANPR does carry intelligence about vehicles, but that information must pass checks and controls and be graded before it is considered for ANPR.Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.0 -

You have given incorrect information on police procedure once on this thread so far. Why should the op believe this is correct?0
