Then do it....stop ******* moaning about it

At least the doner kebab smell from below will overwhelm the stench of fetid squirrel jizz.

Look, do you want to solve problem or just be a loser who says it can’t be? There is card number, expiry date - anything to semi-enforce spread out of behaviour, heck - online booking of slots to visit particular shop to control density.

Can do fooking attitude, that’s what needed

Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about facts and the way credit card authorizations work. My mistake, carry on.

Going out on a limb, but staying off here 24/7 would reduce your stress levels.

Not for me it ain’t

Much of the time your bank is not even part of the authorization procedure. It's called STIP. This whole idea is nonsense if you know the slightest bit about credit card authorizations.

So my bank doesn't get a feed of the transactions to add them to my bank statement? The credit card company can link the transaction back to the POS terminal?

Strange because when I ask them they seem to know those things.

It doesn't have to be real time. A few prosecutions pour encourager les autres.

Massive retrospective fines for cards used on wrong day

Or ask for ID to buy stuff

I only got to Page 4 of this steaming turd of a thread, but AtW, what do you think the first two C's mean in CCTV?

What makes you think the government have access to, or it would be trivial to provide access to, the vast majority of CCTV in this country?

We are a CCTV heavy nation, but the vast majority of it (I'll go and get some stats in a moment) are not government owned. And even if they were, you can't just expect every random camera to work with decent optical recognition. Low framerates, low resolution, poor low light etc would all add up to something pretty useless.

Most ANPR kit is dedicated hardware, and the newer software driven stuff relies on pretty decent imaging.

In fact, overall AtW, you seem to have some very science fiction lead ideas of how things work.

The distant sound of a little mustachioed chap foogling...
