The UK has had automatic number plate recognition for years; first around Heathrow and the City of London (the financial district, the "square mile", not the entire London city) and then on motorways and elsewhere.
We even had a law change to specify the type of fonts you can use for licence plates.
I can understand it if they're catching uninsured drivers, or stolen vehicles. But I can't understand why they'd keep it for longer than a month. (I recognize that I'm on the lenient end when I say "a month" and that some people don't want the data to be kept at all.)
