#OpSnap?

It would be easy to allow prosecution of ghost plates via #opsnap reporting portals. Several forces have tried previously.
The penalty is far too low at £100. It needs to be much higher or even the criminal offence of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

There's obviously a whole chain of issues that need sorting to tackle the clone/ghost plates issues, but allowing #OpSnap submissions for plates with clear illegal coatings, spacings, fonts etc. would be an easy first step for the latter part - very easy to spot

It would probably help if Police Scotland would engage with #OpSnap?

Dodgy number plates are a red flag to a criminal mind.
The UK really needs to do two things.
Make use of them a serious criminal offence rather than the £100 now.
Make prosecution easy and a priority through the existing #opsnap portals. It's currently too difficult.

Is it wrong to add "this is the finding out bit from 'fuck around and find out'" to an #OpSnap #3rdPartyReporting report?

Should let the contractors set up cameras and submit via #OpSnap

Hopefully that force has a decent #opsnap operation that has a zero tolerance approach.

A question, for those with more knowledge of WMP's #OpSnap results, than me... What does "Other Action Taken" mean?

This driver passed me so fast, and so close, it felt like I was millimeters away from becoming a another hit and run victim here.
