In Spijkenisse, the Netherlands, the city put up LOADS of cameras. Slight problem; no budget to have anyone to actually watch the things. So if there has been a crime somewhere near a camera, MAYBE someone gets around to check the recordings. Provided that it's been less than three days since the crime was committed 🤣 because the budget for the recording equipment ...
@AdLockhorst-bf8pz Don't worry, they will archive decades of video, and then eventually use AI to analyse the lot. Much like what is being done with our telephone calls and text messages. Expect a knock on the door in 20 years time, when they come to arrest you for having a blown bulb on Tuesday 13th January, 2016.
I drive for a living and the quality of driving has degraded noticeably with every passing year. Don't question it though, you may be accused of being 'far-right'.
That's one of the reasons I retired earlier this year from driving trucks after 35yrs , the standard of driving, especially down London was shocking and inparticular a certain brand of driver shall we say 🤔
There's a section of dual carriageway near me which used to be national speed limit (so 70mph). First they painted out one carriageway. Then they reduced the limit to 40mph. Then they installed average speed cameras. Its out in the countryside so it just looks like more anti-motorist measures in the interest of "safety". Interfering busybodies.
all of these cameras around britain should be removed as we can not afford to pay for them out of our council tax , get the bladerunners to dismantle them asap.
They can't even afford to cut back the grass and shrubbery where I live... there are road direction signs which are now completely hidden from view. And speed limit signs. And even traffic lights!!! It's mad...
I've been driving 30,000 + miles for over 20 years as an electrical contractor and totally agree with previous message about the standard of driving these days. I suspect those cameras have facial recognition too. They are a total invasion of our privacy, they need to go. The police don't seem to have access to them either. My 9K motorcycle was stolen recently between 2 gimbal type surveillance cameras that swivel round all day long. I dragged a video of the theft from a local Turkish barber. Plod had nothing and closed the case within 2 days. Police eventually called me 11 days later after I sent them info about local bike theft gangs, gave names etc. NOTHING. Guess who doesn't move over for police anymore until it is very very safe to do so. If I get any bother I will simply say I was going to pull over in about 11 days. Police are no longer fit for purpose. These cameras are run by big govt. departments. I could go on but hey...
Sad but true. The cameras are definitely NOT for the benefit of the people. And I've lost count of how may similar stories I've heard about the police being worse than useless when it comes to vehicle theft. They literally couldn't care less, thiefs know this and it's getting worse as a consequence because it's very lucrative and goes almost entirely unpunished. Very sad mess this country is in.
Surprised they didn't arrest you for being "racist" by giving names etc. I agree though, police have zero access, and the cameras are owned by their "trusted third parties" that no one knows who they are. Slightly off topic, but I requested from Asda who their "trusted third parties" are after I noticed Vista CCTV screens are the self service checkouts, the self service screens already have cameras, so why the need for an extra angle of the same shot? I had already asked another question, which they answer, but after I asked that, silence, nothing, been 2 weeks. I never stand in front of the cameras, I approach looking away, then stand to the side, if they can't tell me if footage isn't linked to purchases, why would I trust it.
@@soundseeker63 The Aussies see them and feel safe. I actually asked a boomer why they felt safe wit ha pole that was recording them 24/7 with night vision, infrared and thermal sensors, also gimballed. He told me that it meant good people were looking out for the community. Not only is the camera pole a super duper eye sore, the boomers are a massive pimple on our rear end we can't get rid of either.
ANPR Camera. Outside of London, where I'm based. Harts, Beds & Bucks, They have been around for many years now. On the entry & exit of every town & village, They are supposed to be used to track criminals. As if criminals get cars registered in their name, taxed & insured... Never made much sense to me.
Even if the criminal scum aren't registering the vehicles, or they are cloning a vehicle, the cameras will still record regular sightings of those vehicles visiting regular places for criminal reasons. It is all logged by the Police who are tracking their use / locations.
I hope no one goes to B&Q and buys their £22.99 telescopic tree loppers because that would be really bad. The last thing we need is people buying £22.99 telescopic tree loppers from B&Q.
As a qualified London ULEZ camera spotter, this is a visyonics Vector ANPR camera. Older model now. Used by TFL as original LEZ camera. Also used by Surrey County Council as ANPR camera. Has seperate control box. Single Lane only.
You are a gent. Got back to driving 1 year ago with 20yrs no claims, had brain surgery and was not fit to do this that and the other from 2017. 20mph been introduced all over, torture.. hanging on to a gear and loads of people in the 30 and 40 zones, unsure of limits and coast along at 20.. Is there a link to these sorts of cameras we can look at. I.e average speed, ulez and others that be great to recognise them. As far as i am aware the are just put up we have zero notifications of council and others?
Asked the local Conservative MP last year what all the cameras were being installed for never got a reply. You can bet your house on pay per mile and I don't think you'll lose, trouble is they would still want road tax as well
They'll mask it as something else for now, maybe say it's for tax dodging drivers, but that's a cover. The government desperately wants pay per mile. With the push for EVs and with the VED system in place in the UK, coupled with the fact that EVs don't pay fuel tax, pay per mile is INEVITABLE and undeniably so. So it'll be "completely innocuous" for now, but weirdly convenient when they decide to introduce pay per mile and they can literally just switch it on.
Indeed, I remember reading the Sunday morning supplement of a tory rag over 10 years ago telling me the software for pay per mile motoring was already installed in the spy satellites, just waiting for political acceptance to switch it on. Sunday Telegraph
Plus programmable central bank digital currency. Then it's possible to charge you or fine you instantly at source, prevent you from buying too many miles (you might not have enough carbon credit or social credit) or perhaps switch off your car if you leave your permitted zone.
@@davebellamy4867 Anything is possible if we just sit back and let it happen. It's also why it's important to keep older cars repaired and working. Personally I anticipate another scrappage scheme so they can get more cars they can't control turned into cubes and get mroe drivers into cars they potentially can control. Tin foil hat on I'll grant, buy the possibility definitely can't be just dismissed entirely. Especially the pay per mile thing. No more new ICE cars after whatever year it is, and currently the huge tax on fuel is literally our current "per mile" system, so the more cars don't pay that fuel, the more millions the government misses out on. They've basically shot themselves in the foot and they WILL change it. We don't need to debate about "if", only "how".
I live in the New Forest Hampshire. There’s sneaky cameras being put up on all the main routes in and out of all the large towns. I’ve also noticed them surrounding Salisbury. There’s clearly something in the pipeline to screw us.
@@Sadie595 They are on metal lamp posts where they can tap into the power supply. They are painted dark blue and shaped like a flat brick with a round antenna on top. There’s one on a post on the A36 just after where the dual carriageway turns into a single carriageway as you come into Salisbury, near where they store the fairground rides. Once you see one you’ll start to notice more and more. Twin lenses so guessing ANPR. The bloody things are everywhere, there’s even one mounted above the sign for Sandy balls caravan park in the new Forest near Fordingbridge. There’s no street lights so they had to tap into power off their sign.
I would also like to say that not only have I noticed the standard of driving is decreasing when I’m out on the road, but not by new drivers with their green P plate on their cars, which also could be down to insurance companies giving lower insurance costs if they have equipment put in the car that tracks how good or bad you drive etc. but I have noticed that quality of driving is impacted by the state of our roads. Size & placement of speed bumps, potholes, road markings, kind entrances/exits where there is no road mirrors or they are not cleaned or are damaged, road signs that are damaged, not visible, or not there at all. This has an impact upon how people drive.
Yes, some have popped up on the approach to Exeter, one's at Cowley on the A377. To be honest I'm approaching retirement and am considering leaving the UK as the big brother, Stasi, Orwellian nightmare we were warned of in the 60s is upon us. Why anyone would join the military nowadays as a defender of freedom when there is no freedom is beyond me?
Yup - the drug dealers move their product on the main routes into cities - if you wan them to do that freely without challenge then that's your problem
@@problemchild1976 don't give me that twaddle, I'm ex counter terror, ANPRs do that in and out of every transportation hub,town or city. Every vehicle is recorded, no tax,MOT, insurance a fine is in the post. Drug dealers and mules don't get nicked as there aren't enough prison cells, it's used as a tool to build up a surveillance diary on everybody, kept for ever probably. You may feel comfortable being watched and having the state impose regulations and ideology in everyday life, but those who work for the state tend to leave the country or find a hideaway in the sticks because they know what's going on. You may work for the state? But one day you'll be the focus of their attention, because when you leave you'll be flagged up permanently
I’d love to meet one of the back room bureaucrats who think of and mandate these dystopian things. Who are these people? How do they justify what they’re doing?
Two equally pertinent questions could be; Are these 'people', their families and friends somehow immune to all of these spying devices being installed around the country ? If the answer is no then what is their motivation ?
@@ryszardlorenc7047 Some may belong to lodges, but many 100% trust authority. Many in my area like this are now a bit ill, but they don't seem to learn.
Over here in California, tax revenue from gasoline tax has gone down from so many drivers switching to electric vehicles (something that’s being encouraged), that the California department of transportation is introducing a pilot program to charge drivers per mile.
Only idiots are buying electric cars. If nobody would buy them that could make a big difference but unfortunately there's too many brainwashed ppl out there.
. They already have those vans, they are known as ARAN looks like a cross between a speed camera van and a Google street via camera van. Some have a big bubble on the top.
You jest but here in Sweden our speed cameras use a Nikon DSLR and are easily opened with an angle grinder if you know where the latches are. One guy got caught selling thousands of them to Iran.
Actually it’s an ANPR camera to spot and track then hopefully apprehend vehicles with criminal markers against them before they break into your house or plough through your family crossing the road etc. Only those with something to hide have something to fear from any camera 👍
@@gazmotoare you mad? This is erosion of civil liberties by the back door facial recognition cameras everywhere cameras to track you wherever you go and you’re ok with that? They’ll tell you it’s ANPR camera they’ll tell you what they want you to know.
No I live in rural Ireland. (cameras) Organizations are not human, but act with a limited intelligence, it is commonly called Group Think and is observed in businesses, studied a lot in academia. You might've heard of the Stanford prison experiment which is a famous study. The point is; regular nice people join a collective consciousness in a group and all those empathic traits they exhibit as an individual disappear in the group. You cannot think of the actions of collectives as being human, they are not and they do not empathize with you.
This post should be highlighted at the top of the thread. Very important message. I recently read the book "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Browning. Everyone should read it. It's an explanation of what our police are soon to become.
Other factor is conformity from Asch's classic line experiments. 3/4 of people will give an answer they know is wrong, to stay onside with the in-group. 👍
In my locality there is a narrow, windy lane to the south of the town centre. We were told that cameras were to be installed to monitor vehicles using the lane in case any exceeded the weight restriction. But the amount of gear atop the mast indicates that there must be multiple factors being recorded, not just weight. What else do the powers that be wish to know? ICE vehicles? DVLA and MoT checks? Number plate recognition and ownership by "undesirables"? As an amateur conspiracist I'm certain that the infrastructure to check our every move is being installed.
No need for cameras to track you. Your location can already be monitored by your phone and triangulation of the cell masts and its accurate to about 10m or a What3Words square. This tech has been around for at least 25 years. I called the police to report ASB, couple of drunks rolling around in the road fighting (the worst punches I ever ever seen thrown) the rozzers knew who I was and that I was at home before I’d said anything.
It's a form of ANPR - I was a town councillor several years ago and the police had access to them to track criminal movements after specific incidents. They used it to track scrap thieves from the home counties up to the East of England for example. They register all the licence plates that pass, which are then stored on a database against time/date for future reference from what I recall. The system has been there for years.
In my country we have cameras every few hundred meters on roads, they're traffic cameras to monitor congestion. The Roads and Traffic Authority have a giant HQ where they sit in front of monitors watching traffic and deploying tow trucks, emergency services, etc. They look very much like those. BUT. That's not to say they can't be used for nefarious purposes. Usually nefarious cameras have a camera pointing at them from somewhere else too, so they can monitor the safety of the enforcement camera / speed camera or whatever it is.
Slightly off topic but a point of interest, it’s not the number of lanes that make it a dual carriageway, it’s the fact that there’s a central divider of some sort.
I've heard that some car park cameras have suffered from attack with obscuring paint. Water pistol or water blasters with paint are apparently the sort of devices used to block lenses
Goodness! The dastardly ingenuity of some people. Who could credit it? Don't hear that on the 6 o'clock news, do we? I suppose the good people of the UK ought to go do our Christmas shopping early and get these terrible items off the shelves before more vandalism gets done?
They have cut down the lanes to P off the drivers. They have done it in Surrey all over the place. That looks like a camera that should be taken down to me.
It is to slow down traffic... to frustrate the over taxed drivers.... to the point of saying "Fuck it, I'll take the bus"... small problem, no buses..!!!
They're a private company and are putting cameras on their own property. They have been doing this for years. People seem to have a very warped idea as to what facial recognition can do.
@@quantisedspace7047I agree, they are a private company who can serve who they want, but they have driven out all competition, because they can afford to, and left people with no choice of where to shop. There is no alternative in many places.
As a driver for the NHS I see so many drivers doing realy stupid things on the road and I'm convinced it's because so many people are on prescribed medication and it's affecting their ability to think straight. A medical journal recently stated that Omeprazole (which I'm on) can start to trigger alzheimer's disease and that worries me. I need them for my hiatus hernia. As for any camera that our government errect, they are not for our bennefit, but for their currupt agenda. God bless you Geoff and keep up the great work.
Oh Crap, I hadn't heard that about Omeprazole and I am on it for similar reasons and am also finding my memory is not what it used to be (I'm 68) that doesn't sound good at all, might be time for a visit to my GP.
Multiple surveillance: pay per mile, face recognition, speed, ulez. I'm sure I saw something on YT last year that job application forms for pay per mile administrators went out 18 months two years ago. The control is all in place.
Hi Geoff , I live in the area too, I understand that section of the A449 has been used as a Dept of Transport 'trial road' for decades which explains the constant expansive work carried out on it. It's been an accident blackspot since I was a schoolboy travelling down it on the way to Kings School Worcester. In 1968 two Policemen in a Triumph 2000 left the road at Dunhampton and died demolishing a bus stop moments before I was to be dropped off to catch the bus.
Thats an ANPR camera, currently being used across the country for flagging up number plates that have a marker against them, stolen, uninsured etc or suspected of being driven by someone likewise wanted or driving illegally or involved in crime. But with any technology like this could easily be used for other purposes…
Blade runners need to expand their operational area, Gov say's no we're not doing pay per mile which translates they are doing pay per mile in the very near future.
Don't mind pay per mile as long as they scrap the fuel duty, which is effectively the same thing. Except pay per mile is better because it'll also catch EV drivers!!
I think this is a new game of geo-caching. You have to open the unit to find if there is a hidden gift inside. You then replace it with your own added gift for the next person to find.
Yes totally agree. Helps them track stolen vehicles so owners have a chance of getting them back. Hopefully checks tax/MOT too to reduce the amount of non compliant ones on the road.
New Fhive Ghee cameras can map a high def point cloud through solid walls - so if there is one near your house they can watch you in high def as you are making sweet music with your mrs.
Yea it's an ANPR camera. They put them up all round Bolton a few years back to start charging certain people for driving in certain areas but there was push back so it was put on hold for a bit.
Geoff, you should let people know (esp people driving vans and lorries) that almost all the digital speed cameras are now also ANPR. So if you pass one on, say, a dual carriageway in a van at 70mph it will know you're driving a van (which has a max speed of 60 on a DC) and give you a ticket. Same goes for doing 60 on an A road in an LGV, because the limit there is 50. I work with another LGV driver who got 6 points like this in two weeks. He thought he was just keeping up with the traffic, but the cameras still got him. The first he knew about it was when the letter arrived. So now his own private car insurance has almost doubled (because 6 points) and will stay high for the next five years. Basically, if you use your license to drive for someone else, find out what the speed limits are for that type of vehicle and stick to them. Because your employer is not going to cover your extra insurance costs for the next five years.
Full of shit mate I been doing 70 through them since they come out they are not anpr and even if they are they are not doing what you say on the m6 or the m62 or the m57 where I drive and have them cameras
I have noticed an increase in horrendous driving Geoff. I do wonder if, at least in part, this is due to neorological pathologies secondary to a particular thing people took recently. But that would make me a conspiracy theorist not a biologist.
Give it another 6 months and you'll be able to say you are an expert in your field ... seems roughly the timing given from fiction to fact. I'll take this opportunity to shake your hand now 🤝🏼
I'm not a biologist either but I believe the cameras are actually transmitters that transmit a beam interfereing with drivers' brain function and causing bad driving (Q. Are they funded by funeral Directors ?).
So glad it's not only me noticing this - it's a really obvious increase that kicked in right about the introduction of that intervention. It's not just the elderly folk driving like (some) elderly folk do; It's not the odd drunk driver either. It's people of all ages. I've wondered if *some* of the erratic behaviour (when it's a very recent model car) might be due to the "safety features" in said modern car taking the drivers by surprise, and the teenagers now driving like nervous, overly law-abiding grannies may be partly the result of them having to have telematics black-boxes to afford insurance now.
I don't drive a car right now but I subscribed anyway. It's of great importance as a service to the people that you keep making videos like this. Please make them a high priority.
Noticed these at the end of my daughter's road six years ago and they have been steadily appearing at the end of every road since, definitely paving the way for pay per mile. Thanks Tony.
I believe you are right Geoff - also I couldn't help but notice the very strange cloud formations ! We certainly are witnessing dystopia on steroids with each passing day !
Hi Geoff, I think that you are spot on, these are everywhere and do look just like the ULEZ cameras. It's nothing at all to do with crime prevention as its not being readily used currently by the Police (as far as I have heard, and you would have thought they would happliy use it if they were able to), it is infrastructure being put in place for road pricing. The growing loss of revenue from Fuel Duty (and VAT on that), as there are more and more EV's are on the road will need to be recovered from somewhere, so surprise surprise it will be road pricing, it's not a case of if it will happen, it's a case of when. Yes it is a "traffic monitoring" camera but with the ability to recogise, record and process / send to data centres all registration plate data from vehicles that pass it, per ULEZ cameras, and will be ready to be used for its true purpose of Road Pricing traffic data capture.
Anyone who voted for the current radical far left socialist party (Labour) are in for a massive shock! If you honestly thought the new Neo Nazi party were the answer to this countries issues? Then come and wait with the rest of us who know what damage these people are going to do to us, and the country over the next five years.
@user-xk5nl4sb2z Piffle. Are you claiming that the Labour government has put all these cameras up in the last couple of months😂? These have been going up for ages, under the last 14 years of Tory government. One has to wonder what your agenda is 🤔 to blame a new government who couldn't possibly be responsible for them. Either that or you're just really stupid.
You mean the 18.5% of those registered to vote? Voting has never changed anything for the better and is no more than a veneer to give the illusion of democracy.
Just for clarity. That is still a dual carriageway denoted by the solid barrier/feature between the carriageways . The camera could be one of the new cameras that detect people not wearing seatbelts an or using a mobile phone
The camera is a traffic monitoring camera, sometimes temporary. There is a speed camera about 200 yards from there towards Kidderminster. That stretch of the A449 is littered with speed cameras, regular mobile speed cameras and a stretch of average speed check. The A449 from Worc to Kidderminster is all one lane / two lanes / one lane / two lanes... it was an accident blackspot in the past when it was mostly two lanes
From Ombersley to the Mitre Oak it's dual carriageway down to single each way with occasional overtaking places but still 50mph. From Ombersley to Claines Island it's 70mph limit.
It's a police ANPR camera for recognising certain number plates connected to criminal activity and been around for a few years... but its just the beginning of full on surveillance coming our way soon!!
I was talking to a traffic cop about this. He pointed out that almost all the fatal crashes he's come across have been caused by BMW drivers. Interesting,
British drivers are among the safest in Europe. I've just got back home in 🇧🇬 after driving through Istanbul. My God!! Terrifying and aggressive driving everywhere but not a single camera that matches your description. There are none in Bulgaria either. This country has been an authoritarian hell hole before. People will not tolerate it again!
Did you like the massive lorries on the motorways tailgating each other?? I tried not to look and my Turkish friends went on to tell me how they had just recently dropped the driving age of these mega lorries. Even they were worried that basically young men with virtually no training were bombing about 😲
Looks like a "Vector" camera to me, they can read cars in either direction, ANPR, Bus lane, Yellow box, Red Lights as well as ULEZ. I am guessing they'll say it is a 24/7/365 safety camera until they add PPM and then its a payment recording device LoL!
So if you refuse to pay and you drive an EV they remotely disable your car - but if you drive an ICE car they will have to chase you and chase you and chase you until you pay up or they give up.
They are ANPR cameras. Used by councils for congestion management to measure time it takes vehicles to travel along roads. Used by police for identifying vehicles that are illegal, used by criminals, cloned vehicles, stolen etc
If they were rendered "blind" by mysterious means , what official body will complain and commence rectification. Here in France, rural money maker cameras have long been targetted by gunmen, arsonists & painters. Now others are covering them with bags & black clingfilm.
I would think if they were getting ready for pay per mile, on a dual carriageway, for example, they would need 2 cameras (one for each lane). So it's more likely these are just to monitor traffic flow. Think about it, a good idea, but I don't think you are correct on this one, one camera wouldn't work in the scenario you bring on a dual carriageway.
@@organickevinlondon If you are too thick to work that out then don't ask me in a rude manner and expect me to tell you what to think as you clearly don't have a brain of your own not to be able to work it out for yourself dear. If you had asked politely that would be different.
ULEZ, ANPR, Facial recognition who knows but perhaps all of them, if this camera appears that sophisticated! so regardless of whatever they are, it is yet another form of surveillance enhancing the already George Orwell '1984' society that we have been exponentially living for at least the past 4 decades, which is also becoming more sophisticated and advanced with each subsequent year!
Fellow Worcessstuhshire person here. That road has been notorious for years it used to be a dual cariage all the way from Kidderminster to Worcester. Overtime they've spent more and more on making that road slower,removing lanes,speed cameras etc. Unfortunately Geoff, you can't legislate for stupid people...
Here's a simple work around... Motorbikes. Legally only require a rear facing registration number plate. All ANPR cameras are forward facing. Also, have you noticed "weather stations" have these duel lens cameras with infa-red leds that face the traffic, too? The site says it's to monitor road conditions. If that's the case, a single lens camera would do the trick. Basic ai can tell "wet, snow, dry" the rest of the weather station can do all the other sensors. If it's to simply count cars, then again, a simple ai with a single lens can do that.
I like the idea of one but live really rurally so not practical. Also I don't trust them not to spontaneously combust while charging, it's a lot more common than you'd think.
Im a lorry driver and i too have observed these everywhere . This surveilance is pissing me off big time. I'm thinking they are ready for pay by mile scandle. Bastards the lot of em!!
I met someone at Cannock Chase who was having meetings with cabinet ministers and he said that the deal had already been done to introduce pay per mile.
after reading some comments, with varios ideas what they might be, i am still confused what that are. But i think we can all agree, it wont be for our benefit.
We've had these around here for some years now. They're on all the roads into town, and very similar cameras on the local river crossings - always situated in places where there is no alternative route. As to their purpose? It's been suggested that they're ANPR cameras, looking out for untaxed, untested and MOT expired vehicles. As to their real purpose? - Anybody's guess, but they're not a new phenomenon - We've seen them around for about ten years in some locations.
They're everywhere around Derbyshire,, shire, they'll be able to check your acceleration and breaking so they can fine you if THEY perceive your driving aggressivly
Automatic number plate recognition. Not pay per mile. It's how they catch drug dealers and track people. My number plate got cloned and one of those cameras got me stopped by armed police at junction 6 on the M5. They work a treat.
PPM doesn't work. These politicians see an opportunity different to us. I travel in a few countries that have toll roads,(Similar) they don't use them, at least I don't, (Spain, USA, France). I and other motorists use the free roads, so the driver who gets his company to pay can have the expensive road to himself, and his company will therefore up the price of its goods, perfect thinking.
I live in Norwich. I noticed about 7 months ago that people stopped indicating. Indicating at roundabouts was poor but now it’s generally. Most dangerous for cyclists.
Yep, got loads of these around our towns and villages, i kinda knew what they were for when i saw them but they wont last long if they try to use them for that purpose
Modern cars with all their safety systems allow unskilled drives to crash at much higher speeds than they could manage without the extra assistance 🥴 Lots more accidents and serious one in North Wales in my news feeds

@@Paul-li9hq they will after ulez comes to your area
I've been driving 30,000 + miles for over 20 years as an electrical contractor and totally agree with previous message about the standard of driving these days. I suspect those cameras have facial recognition too. They are a total invasion of our privacy, they need to go. The police don't seem to have access to them either. My 9K motorcycle was stolen recently between 2 gimbal type surveillance cameras that swivel round all day long. I dragged a video of the theft from a local Turkish barber. Plod had nothing and closed the case within 2 days. Police eventually called me 11 days later after I sent them info about local bike theft gangs, gave names etc. NOTHING. Guess who doesn't move over for police anymore until it is very very safe to do so. If I get any bother I will simply say I was going to pull over in about 11 days. Police are no longer fit for purpose. These cameras are run by big govt. departments. I could go on but hey...
Not your govt depts.
Sad but true. The cameras are definitely NOT for the benefit of the people. And I've lost count of how may similar stories I've heard about the police being worse than useless when it comes to vehicle theft. They literally couldn't care less, thiefs know this and it's getting worse as a consequence because it's very lucrative and goes almost entirely unpunished. Very sad mess this country is in.
Surprised they didn't arrest you for being "racist" by giving names etc. I agree though, police have zero access, and the cameras are owned by their "trusted third parties" that no one knows who they are. Slightly off topic, but I requested from Asda who their "trusted third parties" are after I noticed Vista CCTV screens are the self service checkouts, the self service screens already have cameras, so why the need for an extra angle of the same shot? I had already asked another question, which they answer, but after I asked that, silence, nothing, been 2 weeks. I never stand in front of the cameras, I approach looking away, then stand to the side, if they can't tell me if footage isn't linked to purchases, why would I trust it.

Correct.
We are all criminals now.
Even if the criminal scum aren't registering the vehicles, or they are cloning a vehicle, the cameras will still record regular sightings of those vehicles visiting regular places for criminal reasons. It is all logged by the Police who are tracking their use / locations.

Asked the local Conservative MP last year what all the cameras were being installed for never got a reply. You can bet your house on pay per mile and I don't think you'll lose, trouble is they would still want road tax as well
The only thing I hate in the world is the government
They'll mask it as something else for now, maybe say it's for tax dodging drivers, but that's a cover. The government desperately wants pay per mile. With the push for EVs and with the VED system in place in the UK, coupled with the fact that EVs don't pay fuel tax, pay per mile is INEVITABLE and undeniably so. So it'll be "completely innocuous" for now, but weirdly convenient when they decide to introduce pay per mile and they can literally just switch it on.
think were at 6 months between conspiracy and news on the beeb. Next January then for TwoTier Keir to announce ppm to save the NHS.
Indeed, I remember reading the Sunday morning supplement of a tory rag over 10 years ago telling me the software for pay per mile motoring was already installed in the spy satellites, just waiting for political acceptance to switch it on. Sunday Telegraph
Plus programmable central bank digital currency. Then it's possible to charge you or fine you instantly at source, prevent you from buying too many miles (you might not have enough carbon credit or social credit) or perhaps switch off your car if you leave your permitted zone.

@@davebellamy4867 Anything is possible if we just sit back and let it happen. It's also why it's important to keep older cars repaired and working.

Tin foil hat on I'll grant, buy the possibility definitely can't be just dismissed entirely.
Especially the pay per mile thing. No more new ICE cars after whatever year it is, and currently the huge tax on fuel is literally our current "per mile" system, so the more cars don't pay that fuel, the more millions the government misses out on. They've basically shot themselves in the foot and they WILL change it. We don't need to debate about "if", only "how".

Size & placement of speed bumps, potholes, road markings, kind entrances/exits where there is no road mirrors or they are not cleaned or are damaged, road signs that are damaged, not visible, or not there at all. This has an impact upon how people drive.

No need for cameras to track you. Your location can already be monitored by your phone and triangulation of the cell masts and its accurate to about 10m or a What3Words square. This tech has been around for at least 25 years.
I called the police to report ASB, couple of drunks rolling around in the road fighting (the worst punches I ever ever seen thrown) the rozzers knew who I was and that I was at home before I’d said anything.
Correct.
It's a form of ANPR - I was a town councillor several years ago and the police had access to them to track criminal movements after specific incidents. They used it to track scrap thieves from the home counties up to the East of England for example. They register all the licence plates that pass, which are then stored on a database against time/date for future reference from what I recall. The system has been there for years.
In my country we have cameras every few hundred meters on roads, they're traffic cameras to monitor congestion. The Roads and Traffic Authority have a giant HQ where they sit in front of monitors watching traffic and deploying tow trucks, emergency services, etc. They look very much like those. BUT. That's not to say they can't be used for nefarious purposes. Usually nefarious cameras have a camera pointing at them from somewhere else too, so they can monitor the safety of the enforcement camera / speed camera or whatever it is.
you must be in Australia then cameras everywhere to monitor traffic conditions. and other cameras just to fine you.
Its the UK, so that camera will for sure be to issue a fine for some obscure reason.
Slightly off topic but a point of interest, it’s not the number of lanes that make it a dual carriageway, it’s the fact that there’s a central divider of some sort.

Yea it's an ANPR camera. They put them up all round Bolton a few years back to start charging certain people for driving in certain areas but there was push back so it was put on hold for a bit.
Geoff, you should let people know (esp people driving vans and lorries) that almost all the digital speed cameras are now also ANPR. So if you pass one on, say, a dual carriageway in a van at 70mph it will know you're driving a van (which has a max speed of 60 on a DC) and give you a ticket. Same goes for doing 60 on an A road in an LGV, because the limit there is 50.
I work with another LGV driver who got 6 points like this in two weeks. He thought he was just keeping up with the traffic, but the cameras still got him. The first he knew about it was when the letter arrived. So now his own private car insurance has almost doubled (because 6 points) and will stay high for the next five years.
Basically, if you use your license to drive for someone else, find out what the speed limits are for that type of vehicle and stick to them. Because your employer is not going to cover your extra insurance costs for the next five years.
No sympathy whatsoever, keep to the speed limit then you won’t get a fine or points , duuuhhh
The speed limit for most vans on a single carriageway road is also 50 mph, the same as a fully loaded 44 tonne artic!!!

I 100% agree with you and you are no conspiracy theorist.
I'm not a biologist either but I believe the cameras are actually transmitters that transmit a beam interfereing with drivers' brain function and causing bad driving (Q. Are they funded by funeral Directors ?).
So glad it's not only me noticing this - it's a really obvious increase that kicked in right about the introduction of that intervention. It's not just the elderly folk driving like (some) elderly folk do; It's not the odd drunk driver either. It's people of all ages. I've wondered if *some* of the erratic behaviour (when it's a very recent model car) might be due to the "safety features" in said modern car taking the drivers by surprise, and the teenagers now driving like nervous, overly law-abiding grannies may be partly the result of them having to have telematics black-boxes to afford insurance now.
In the USA, these drunken drivers who kill get 40 odd years.
Britain is pathetic in comparison

Hi Geoff,
I think that you are spot on, these are everywhere and do look just like the ULEZ cameras.
It's nothing at all to do with crime prevention as its not being readily used currently by the Police (as far as I have heard, and you would have thought they would happliy use it if they were able to), it is infrastructure being put in place for road pricing.
The growing loss of revenue from Fuel Duty (and VAT on that), as there are more and more EV's are on the road will need to be recovered from somewhere, so surprise surprise it will be road pricing, it's not a case of if it will happen, it's a case of when.
Yes it is a "traffic monitoring" camera but with the ability to recogise, record and process / send to data centres all registration plate data from vehicles that pass it, per ULEZ cameras, and will be ready to be used for its true purpose of Road Pricing traffic data capture.
Anyone who voted for the current radical far left socialist party (Labour) are in for a massive shock! If you honestly thought the new Neo Nazi party were the answer to this countries issues?

Just for clarity. That is still a dual carriageway denoted by the solid barrier/feature between the carriageways . The camera could be one of the new cameras that detect people not wearing seatbelts an or using a mobile phone
If the camera's are like the ones in Londonistan then the country variety look extremely vulnerable ............
We can't wait for them to come to our village. Hope they have plenty of spares
@@davidadams5116 Snippy snippy! 😉👍
The camera is a traffic monitoring camera, sometimes temporary. There is a speed camera about 200 yards from there towards Kidderminster. That stretch of the A449 is littered with speed cameras, regular mobile speed cameras and a stretch of average speed check. The A449 from Worc to Kidderminster is all one lane / two lanes / one lane / two lanes... it was an accident blackspot in the past when it was mostly two lanes
From Ombersley to the Mitre Oak it's dual carriageway down to single each way with occasional overtaking places but still 50mph. From Ombersley to Claines Island it's 70mph limit.
It's a police ANPR camera for recognising certain number plates connected to criminal activity and been around for a few years... but its just the beginning of full on surveillance coming our way soon!!
I was talking to a traffic cop about this. He pointed out that almost all the fatal crashes he's come across have been caused by BMW drivers. Interesting,
British drivers are among the safest in Europe. I've just got back home in 🇧🇬 after driving through Istanbul.
My God!! Terrifying and aggressive driving everywhere but not a single camera that matches your description. There are none in Bulgaria either. This country has been an authoritarian hell hole before. People will not tolerate it again!
you wanna try driving in Bangkok!!! Scarey sh*t
Driving in India looks a bit scary.
Did you like the massive lorries on the motorways tailgating each other?? I tried not to look and my Turkish friends went on to tell me how they had just recently dropped the driving age of these mega lorries. Even they were worried that basically young men with virtually no training were bombing about 😲
Looks like a "Vector" camera to me, they can read cars in either direction, ANPR, Bus lane, Yellow box, Red Lights as well as ULEZ. I am guessing they'll say it is a 24/7/365 safety camera until they add PPM and then its a payment recording device LoL!
That's exactly what it is, as I've posted elsewhere, but the conspiracy theorists will make up all sorts.
So if you refuse to pay and you drive an EV they remotely disable your car - but if you drive an ICE car they will have to chase you and chase you and chase you until you pay up or they give up.
They are ANPR cameras. Used by councils for congestion management to measure time it takes vehicles to travel along roads. Used by police for identifying vehicles that are illegal, used by criminals, cloned vehicles, stolen etc
If they were rendered "blind" by mysterious means , what official body will complain and commence rectification.
Here in France, rural money maker cameras have long been targetted by gunmen, arsonists & painters. Now others are covering them with bags & black clingfilm.
I would think if they were getting ready for pay per mile, on a dual carriageway, for example, they would need 2 cameras (one for each lane). So it's more likely these are just to monitor traffic flow.
Think about it, a good idea, but I don't think you are correct on this one, one camera wouldn't work in the scenario you bring on a dual carriageway.
15 minute city camera
its in the middle of flippin nowhere.
A 15' city camera would be pointless if one can simply walk across the fields to the next city.
@@organickevinlondonExactly. It it to stop free movement, wherever you may be.
@@Awake-Free-CT and exactly how does it stop my freedom of movement then, "I'm sure you can explain that to me in pedantic detail".
@@organickevinlondon If you are too thick to work that out then don't ask me in a rude manner and expect me to tell you what to think as you clearly don't have a brain of your own not to be able to work it out for yourself dear.
If you had asked politely that would be different.
That camera is otherwise known as an 'opportunity'.
In other news, two tier Keir is probably putting petrol prices up in the budget.
Its a Bosch ANPR camera and been there for some years now. Every town has them on all roads in and out.
ULEZ, ANPR, Facial recognition who knows but perhaps all of them, if this camera appears that sophisticated! so regardless of whatever they are, it is yet another form of surveillance enhancing the already George Orwell '1984' society that we have been exponentially living for at least the past 4 decades, which is also becoming more sophisticated and advanced with each subsequent year!
Cameras going up everywhere… and all look highly suspicious!!
One has to imagine the level of ha te for us, that they go to all this trouble.
@@G-ra-ha-m oh they hate us alright, zero doubt about that!!
That camera is for pay per mile camera that's coming in 2025
No, ANPR to track persons of interest.
There not ANPR have a day off
Will be utilised for both. They will recognise passengers too.
pay per mile,/15 minute ghetto cameras. With facial recognition, Very easily disabled.
@@whitehart11 both
Geoff sir, these cameras are clearly installed for our safety!! 🤣🙃
Fellow Worcessstuhshire person here. That road has been notorious for years it used to be a dual cariage all the way from Kidderminster to Worcester. Overtime they've spent more and more on making that road slower,removing lanes,speed cameras etc. Unfortunately Geoff, you can't legislate for stupid people...
Here's a simple work around...
Motorbikes. Legally only require a rear facing registration number plate. All ANPR cameras are forward facing.
Also, have you noticed "weather stations" have these duel lens cameras with infa-red leds that face the traffic, too? The site says it's to monitor road conditions. If that's the case, a single lens camera would do the trick. Basic ai can tell "wet, snow, dry" the rest of the weather station can do all the other sensors. If it's to simply count cars, then again, a simple ai with a single lens can do that.
you forgot one thing Geoff... your hacksaw.
or catapult and pocket of ball bearings lol
Leave your phone at home.
Ride a mountain bike.
GreT for your health.
@johnwade109have to agree.
I have an e bike. Great fun and exercise...
I like the idea of one but live really rurally so not practical. Also I don't trust them not to spontaneously combust while charging, it's a lot more common than you'd think.
You should see the cameras, solar panels and mini-wind turbines on the A46 a few miles south of Evesham!!! Big Brother on stilts - literally.
Yes, check point Charlie !
Im a lorry driver and i too have observed these everywhere . This surveilance is pissing me off big time. I'm thinking they are ready for pay by mile scandle. Bastards the lot of em!!
Information is power 🎉
ANPR to monitor who is moving about in the area, police have data base of people they are interested in. These cameras help to track them
Not a chance.
Why@@GeoffBuysCars
@@GeoffBuysCars Yes all the chance. Been around a long time
@@whitehart11 i agree
@@simonbutler2966 Cheers
I met someone at Cannock Chase who was having meetings with cabinet ministers and he said that the deal had already been done to introduce pay per mile.
after reading some comments, with varios ideas what they might be, i am still confused what that are. But i think we can all agree, it wont be for our benefit.
We've had these around here for some years now. They're on all the roads into town, and very similar cameras on the local river crossings - always situated in places where there is no alternative route.
As to their purpose? It's been suggested that they're ANPR cameras, looking out for untaxed, untested and MOT expired vehicles.
As to their real purpose? - Anybody's guess, but they're not a new phenomenon - We've seen them around for about ten years in some locations.
ANPR can track every vehicle.
@@superglide6680 Well, obviously, just like your own eyes, but they're supposedly only interested in POI and VOI.
'where there's no alt route'. Good point. I hadn't noticed that.
If there are lay-bys, they are for future stop and search monitoring. These will support pay per mile.
They're everywhere around Derbyshire,, shire, they'll be able to check your acceleration and breaking so they can fine you if THEY perceive your driving aggressivly
1:55 It's still a dual carriageway Geoff.
The central divide is what makes it a dual carriageway, not how many lanes in each direction.
Yep. I was also taught that on my "speed awareness course"!
@@Simonsimon-fy3hq LMAO Me too!
They've been going up on all the main routes into and out of towns in Cumbria since 2020.. facial recognition & anpr
illegal if facial recognition
Automatic number plate recognition.
Not pay per mile.
It's how they catch drug dealers and track people.
My number plate got cloned and one of those cameras got me stopped by armed police at junction 6 on the M5.
They work a treat.
PPM doesn't work. These politicians see an opportunity different to us. I travel in a few countries that have toll roads,(Similar) they don't use them, at least I don't, (Spain, USA, France). I and other motorists use the free roads, so the driver who gets his company to pay can have the expensive road to himself, and his company will therefore up the price of its goods, perfect thinking.
I live in Norwich. I noticed about 7 months ago that people stopped indicating. Indicating at roundabouts was poor but now it’s generally. Most dangerous for cyclists.
Yep, got loads of these around our towns and villages, i kinda knew what they were for when i saw them but they wont last long if they try to use them for that purpose
Modern cars with all their safety systems allow unskilled drives to crash at much higher speeds than they could manage without the extra assistance 🥴
Lots more accidents and serious one in North Wales in my news feeds
