Talk:Automatic number-plate recognition in the United Kingdom

message: How about stating that this cuts down people's liberty long time?? I haven't edited anything ever, and I'm not familiar with the wikipedia standards or procedures. But what I do know is that this article only points out the beneficial facts of this system and not the trespassing on civil rights.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.59.221.212 (talk) 20:40, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ring of steel 

message: Many of the statements in this article are gross exaggerations. Yes the police and the UK government have conspired to place the whole population under surveillance, and not just when they are motoring. Yes, Britain is a surveillance society, big time, and for anyone concerned with liberty it is now a dreadful place to live - even worse than America, land of the unfree. However, the statement that all CCTV are being geared up to ANPR capability is just not true. I get the impression that this article reflects Britain in 3-5 years time, not as it is now. 86.31.101.59 21:03, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: A large part of the article is copyright violation. Much of the material has been copied from The Register, and that publication is given as a reference. I like The Register, but its material should not form the basis for an article such as this. Also, reference 3 is an opinion piece and not a good source. In fact, this article is really just a re-hash of several newspaper reports. 86.31.101.59 21:19, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Clearly although the Indy said this it it prima facie not encyclopedic. Rich Farmbrough, 11:21 28 May 2008 (GMT).
I've removed the following irrelevant content:
In the United States, the misuse of ANPR has led to car confiscationsAutomatic number plate recognition Opinion: Unreasonable Search and Seizure for 'crimes' such as “frequenting a bawdy place.” Richard Diamond commented that "Now it’s a constitutional nightmare, mocking fundamental and cherished legal protections: the right to be presumed innocent, the right to a trial by jury, the right not to have excessive fines imposed, the right not to be searched or have your property seized without reason or warrant, and the right to due process."
It may be relevant in another article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leboite (talk • contribs) 14:46, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The copyvio report shows some of the copied text is quotes hence not a copyvio and the remainder is small enough to be fixed without deleting the article. Whizz40 (talk) 09:26, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, that was definitely an erroneous CSD. I seen that it was a 81% match on the copyvio tool, and that a majority of the text was a match. I was thinking that because of this, nuke it. Thus the CSD. Again, sorry. Still new to editing, and still learning these complicated matters.
