Typical to blame the system.
This man is obviously rather simple and very stupid, but that seems to go with the job today.
The fact is that it is impossible to stop people copying number plates.
We should think seriously on police officers who blame society for crime. The man should be kicked out of the force. He is obviously too outspoken for the good of the force and a 100% NUMPTY!
It was obvious that when congestion charging began, fake and stolen plates would become more common.
Only cheapskates steal number plates.

NO..
A person in public office is allowed to hold an opinion the fact his views have been publicised shouldn't hold any bearing.
End of the day some people will agree and others wont.
Information held by the police from dvla can quite often be out of date making the polices job that bit harder so i can understand his statement.

I did hear of somebody who in order to get revenge on a person who had shopped him for something else, went and hired a car from Hertz looking almost exactly like the car of the person concerned. He then put a false number plate on it which was the licence number of the car of the person he wanted to get "done".
He then drove it past four different speed cameras at high speed that flashed. He returned home, put the original number plate back on and returned hire car to Hertz.
When the person complained in Court that he was not driving his car in that area at the time of the alleged offence and would never exceed the speed limit, the magistrates did not believe him.. He was unable to prove that he was at home in bed at this time as he tried to say. He was found guilty.and lost his licence.
So the other guy got his revenge and was ****-a-hoop. Which does suggest to me that the Chief Constable's point is rather a valid one, but also that the Law is "an ***" on this matter and speed cameras are anyway a travesty of justice!

He makes a valid point...these days there are so many automatic number plate recognition systems for speeding, congestion charges etc that normal members of the public have been stealing number plates from identical cars to their own and using them when going into congestion charging zone....How the problem can be solved I have no idea....
But it is a problem which will grow...I am sure the Police will do all they can to combat it, but with the number of cars on the road it is a difficult problem...

A person in public office should voice his/her concerns when something is wrong, unfortunately not enough of them have the balls to do it. Put it this way if you suddenly started get speeding fines through the post and you were not guilty, then i think you'd soon be pissed off that someone had cloned your number plate.

NO, after all any system that involves people in the process will always be floored, there are a lot of floored people working in public service

To blindly accept a number plate as ok because it shows up on the system could be negligence,there is such a thing as number plate cloaning. his reaction and comment may be annoying but he is right

i think it was refreshing for him to tell the truth. My only wish is that he should give his opinion on the governments ability to empower the police to do there job
