Are ANPR cameras used only in Police Traffic Cars?

Answers needed as soon as possible... ThanksAre ANPR cameras used only in Police Traffic Cars?
No ANPR cameras can be positioned on motorway bridges, or in Police vans, in fact they can put them anywhere. Also VOSA (The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) have ANPR fitted to some of their vehicles, they drive around car parks and motorways, they do not have the authority to stop you but they usually have a Police car nearby if they need to pull someone over.
Airboy is correct. However i would just like to add, some police helicopters have ANPR.Are ANPR cameras used only in Police Traffic Cars?
no they can have ANPR vans which can be situated at the side of roads or on bridges (the same as with mobile speed camera vans and that) and fixed anpr cameras (work in the same way as speed cameras wd with people breaking the speed limit) are becoming more n more popular in some parts of the country as well so it's not worth the risk, you'd b very lucky to get away with driving without insurance, tax, mot etc these days
Just to add to airboy's answer, VOSA now DO have the power to stop.

Also there are VED (road tax) cameras that are set up separately often on a tripod at the side of the rd. They read the barcode on the disc.

Tax, MOT and Insurance is all on a database now, you can check to make sure your vehicle has insurance cover on askmid.com and the DVLA site will tell you if it's taxed and give you the MOT status.Are ANPR cameras used only in Police Traffic Cars?
The KFC in Stirling has ANPR cameras to enforce the parking regulation of a maximum stay of 1 hr. it is in the centre of Stirling and people were trying to park there for the whole day and customers couldn't get in.
