With the number of cameras now watching our roads being so high, it is not surprising to some to find out that the police in Britain are using them to track the movements of people they 'have an interest in'. However, what may upset some is that they have defined political activism as “domestic extremism” cataloguing them on multiple national databases and are reportedly tracking their vehicle license plates.
“Vehicles associated with protesters are being tracked via a nationwide system of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras,” reports the Guardian. “One man, who has no criminal record, was stopped more than 25 times in less than three years after a “protest” marker was placed against his car after he attended a small protest against duck and pheasant shooting. ANPR “interceptor teams” are being deployed on roads leading to protests to monitor attendance.”
In response the government’s has stated that the databases does indeed contain vast numbers of people who have no criminal record, but says that “Just because you have no criminal record does not mean that you are not of interest to the police. Everyone who has got a criminal record did not have one once.”
