The police were doing an ANPR check today near me.
I was very pleased to see about 40 cars had been pulled in.
It is about time they get these unlawful drivers off the road.
I drove through it no problem and did not get stopped.

Frank I think you are randomly chosen. I would imagine that the majority of these cars were legal.

Is there just the slightest touch of schadenfreude in your posts from time to time HUNTERF?

They were using an ANPR camara so I would have thought they would only pull over cars showing things like no insurance possible disqualified driver etc.
That said I was pulled over about an hour after I collected a new car.
The ANPR camera said the car was not insured, the police phoned the company and they confirmed it was.
The police said that was fine but I could be stopped again as the database might not be updated till the next working day.
I was followed in the afternoon by an ANPR police car and I was not stopped.

Frank, please tell how you know that about forty cars were "pulled in".

Does it work by magnetism?
