Dear Essex Police,

Please can you provide information regarding the use of ANPR
in the county as a whole and the use of ANPR cameras in petrol
garage forecourts, and other entrances /
forecourts to be found in motorway service stations.

In particular I would like to know:

- What towns have ANPR on public highways.

- What databases petrol garage forecourt cameras are
linked to
- what crimes are recorded on these databases and whether all
vehicles movements are stored
- how long the information is stored for
- who has the authority to mine the database to see
the past movements of innocent motorists, and under what control.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Tabor
