00:00Thousands of illegal number plates are being detected by a camera system designed to spot
00:06vehicles avoiding ANPR. Tests on motorways have found over a thousand ghost plates a day at a
00:13site near the Dartford crossing, with detections recorded near Folkestone. The plates can make
00:18vehicles harder for cameras to identify, affecting enforcements of speed limits, low emission zones
00:25and criminal investigations. Police say cloned plates are linked to serious crime and organised
00:32crime. The government says it is creating a national centre to tackle illegal plates and
00:38test technology. A review is looking at how widespread the problem is and what action is needed.
