Britain Testing GPS-Camera System to Track Speeding Drivers

Britain is currently testing a motorist tracking system that employs GPS and advanced speed cameras with license plate recognition technology to catch speeding drivers.

The system, named SpeedSpike and developed by PIPS Technology Ltd., could monitor thousands of vehicles -- day or night, and in all weather conditions -- with cameras communicating with each other and using GPS information to calculate the average speed of vehicles between any two network locations.

Civil rights groups raise the issue of whether it is necessary to spy on and film motorists, but the Automobile Association, charged with monitoring the tests, says the system is not sinister and a “natural evolution” of technologies already in use.

Who do you side with?
