"Anthony,
I understand, from a discussion on a motoring newsgroup some time
ago, that the system known as Traffic Master which is allegedly used to
detect congestion on main roads has cameras which recognise number
plates. Data is sent by radio to a central computer where average
speeds between cameras are calculated. This system means that the
registration marks and locations of vehicles on main roads are being
broadcast in real time. Big brother is here."

As I understand it, you have to subscribe to Traffic Master. They
install a box into your vehicle which is sensed by the roadside units
which then monitor a portion of your numberplate. The whole plate is
not registered (yet!), and your plate is only read if the unit receives
the relevant signal.
John.
