Originally posted by AtW View PostErm, UK got more CCTV per capita than maybe even China, all motorway cams are (or can easily be if law permits) connected to automatic number plate recognition system.
Sensible thing would have been once a week shop in a car max - split days of week based on number plate to spread out people, any other driving out should be pre-registered - otherwise cops get you for curfew violations etc
Basically do whatever it fooking takes in emergency, let people whine about civil rights later, much later when virus is done for.
The alternative is far worse.Comment

I sometimes use the companion card from my wife's account. I sometimes use a debit card. Or Apple Pay, or Google Pay, or Garmin Pay, each of which can come off a different card, or directly from my bank account.
And, how does all this disparate card transaction information from multiple merchants now get to a central place to analyse?
Your simple solution is getting more expensive with every post
I do accept you could come up with a solution that could catch the 80+%, but its already a lot more complicated than "just use CCTV".Last edited by Paralytic; 2 April 2020, 15:40.Comment

Fingerprint scanners cheap enough to be in mobiles, no brainer to add them to Point of Sale terminals
Is it more expensive than chip and pin, or having economy shutdown for months because some a-holes keep violating sensible rules?Last edited by AtW; 2 April 2020, 15:38.Comment
