Professor Fraser Sampson wrote to Transport Secretary Mark Harper as he left his role as Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner complaining that nothing was being done to sort the problem out.

An issue has arisen with drivers making their cars 'invisible' to speed and bus lane cameras to avoid getting fines forcing traffic cops to think outside of the box to catch them.

Last year the man in charge of the nation’s Automatic Number Plate Recognition system technology spoke about one in 15 drivers ‘gaming’ the system which he described as ‘staggeringly simple’ and easy to fool, reports Wales Online. “Bus lanes are essential for the public transport network to operate efficiently and speed cameras help to keep the public safe from speeding vehicles and reduce the likelihood of a crash.

"Served by a wholly unregulated market, what my predecessor termed the humble number plate represents a single and readily assailable point of failure with the ANPR network being easily defeated by the manufacture and sale of stealth plates, cloned registration marks and other rudimentary obscurant tactics.
