| Automatic number plate recognition cameras operated by police forces scanned 10.1billion vehicles last year - and the technology has been used by councils to generate fines worth almost £500million in half a decade, an investigation has revealed.
There have been 6.9million penalty charge notices for offences such as parking and straying into yellow box junctions in the last five years by cameras installed by authorities.
Research by motoring site Auto Express also revealed that ANPR cameras operated by police forces had generated 203million 'hits' on vehicles of interest.
This includes motors without tax, that have no registered keeper or have been used in criminal activity.
