We have alot more information on this down here.

If you are pulled over and printed, it will take about 2/3 minutes to get the print processed on the computer data base. If there is no match for criminal activity, then the print will be wiped off the scanner; you have the option of waiting around for an extra few moments to see this occur on the scanner. What happens back with the main computer, I dunno.

Much more interesting here is the introduction of head cameras, which started this week in a couple of London Boroughs. This is a mini-videocam which the cops carry round on their shoulder or helmet and can be switched on when confronting drunken yobs prior to arrest. It should provide the sort of evidence to put an awful lot of do-gooding, civil- rights, taxpayer- subsidised solicitors out of business for good.

You all quite right about the current failings of the prison service; it's about time we brought back transportation, the threadmill and the lash. These are far more cost effective than locking people up for a few months in unbridled 5-star luxury, so the sooner we started using this form of punishment, the better for us all.
