[Off topic I know - sorry]
ANPR cameras are not on all routes, very far from it. All of our
journeys are not logged. Many (most?) of the Gatso cameras that needed
film didn't have film in them but many of the newer Truvelos are
digital. They still only record an image if you exceed the speed limit.
