Superb piece of kit undoubtably, and if it saves coppers the job of
looking for uninsured/taxed cars, and can reduce the numbero of the
vehicles on the road superb!

My worry is when I get a knock on the door because this system has
seen my car near the scene of some crime ...

As an aside, raise your hand if you think the cost of motor insurance
will come down when the number of uninsured cars drops?
