    Just read a news article today saying garda have prosecuted 600,000 motorist and solve zero gang land killings.

    What do you suggest, get the traffic corp to start investigating gangland?

    Another classic example of Gardaí having to work harder and not smarter, the sooner they have proper ANPR to do this job the better.

    As one told me once he's no ordinary garda but special garda being traffic corp.

    What a utter waste of space driving standard is unbelievable low since these so call experts have risen to top of the pile.

    Watch any 3 lane motorway or carriageway and everyone including the these elite garda hogging over taking lanes.

    I pay my taxes and should be getting something in return in regard of services.

    It feck all use to me if I call garda in emergency to discover it takes 1 or 2 hours response time because they are off on some cross road doing tax checks.

    Yes exactly, management can't see the big savings spending some cash will bring in both time and money.

    If you think this is a waste.
    I drove north from Lisbon today and came across 2 police cars with flashing lights, one each side of a line painting truck.

    Another fine example of how sh1te ANPR is in Ireland, I was told last week from a Traffic Corp officer that it can't even detect what cars are declared on or off the road! Unbelievable!

    Never heard of this before.
    I'm ultra curious, what exactly did they ask you regarding the car?

    Just said they were calling to enquire about a car that was showing as out of nct for a long time. Explained and they said that's grand and basically they'd tick that car off the list.

    Got a bit of a fright having Garda calling to the house so didn't really ask too many questions. Was only thinking afterwards would they be trying to trace cars sold to those dodgy cash for cars crowds. Never thought of cloning etc

    I had a car that did not have NCT since 2011. I got it tested in June so all is good. I didnt hear from any Gardai about it. Its a bit strange if they are doing calls. Id ring the local station to see whats going on. If they are doing these types of calls then that is some waste of time and money.

    ANPR doesn't discriminate so everyone who's up to no good gets caught. That's no use when somebody needs to be let off the hook when it suits. That and given the guards proven track record in incompetence, cronyism and corruption can you really expect them to operate and deploy this properly! Don't expect to see ANPR here in full swing anytime soon me thinks.

    Why would it need to know if it vehicle has been declared off the road? If ANPR picks it up it should be taxed.

    Because tax aside, it's a further offence to declare your vehicle off the road. GARDAI probably don't care for 2 months. Somebody who has sorned that car however would be in a bit more bother.

    I'm actually waiting for GoSafe to get the contract for this. It will be a 'great idea' with a new press release about 'new technology' and 'use of resources' at the expense of a colossal, can't possibly make a loss tender.

    We've been doing this since the mid-90s. You could have a system, nationwide, in 6 weeks if you were even half serious about wanting it. They just arn't. Typical government contracts and tenders.

    What I meant was that probably there's no other country than Ireland, which would make it illegal to park a vehicle with no valid test (like NCT) in public place............

    No NCT and it should be on private property or in the scrapyard imo.
