Automatic number plate recognition

"As of 2006, systems can scan number plates at around one per second on cars travelling up to 100 mph (160 km/h).
...
The UK has an extensive Automatic number plate recognition CCTV network. Effectively, the police and Security services track all car movements around the country and are able to track any car in close to real time. Vehicle movements are stored for 5 years in the National ANPR Data Centre to be analyzed for intelligence and to be used for evidence.
