“The UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on Wednesday ordered a review of Hertfordshire Constabulary’s use of the technology in Royston, the first town in England to adopt the technology. All six possible routes into and out of the town are covered by license plate cameras creating what police like to call a ‘ring of steel.’ The system keeps a log of the movements of all automobiles, something the commissioner found unnecessary. ‘It is difficult to see why a small rural town such as Royston, requires cameras monitoring all traffic in and out of the town 24 hours a day,’ ICO enforcement chief Stephen Eckersley said in a statement.”
