RFID embedded number plates

Don't worry, it's just tallbloke having one of his his paranoid
delusions. Or having a wind-up - sometimes it's difficult to tell
them apart.

The chip is made of clear acrylic and the letters are themselves batteries.

The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 set out
the current legal requirements for the display of vehicle number plates
conforming to the British Standard specification BS AU 145d. The Vehicles
(Crime) Act 2001 includes provision for the addition of security features to
number plates. This could include additional visible information displayed
on the plates, changes to the specifications relating to the material of
manufacture and also the possible use of microchip technology.

"possible use of microchip technology"

 

If it becomes an MOT requirement, then the answer to that is 3 years max.

 

I refer the honourable gentleman to the url in the original post on this
thread. Hill are the biggest manufacturer of number plates in the country
IIRC.

Thats just you being paranoid Champ. )

It's real enough though. Have a read of this:

http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=123899

e-Plates are the same size and shape as a conventional plate and are
permanently fitted to a vehicle. Each e-Plate contains an embedded tag
with a unique encrypted identification number that is transmitted by the
tag for detection by RFID readers. Multiple tags can be read
simultaneously by a single RFID reader at speeds of up to 320 km per hour
(200 miles) up to 100 meters (300 feet) away. The reader network, which
includes fixed-location readers for use on the roadside and portable
readers for use in surveillance vehicles and handhelds, sends the unique
identifier in real time to a secure central system where it is matched
with the corresponding vehicle data such as registration number, owner
details, make, model, color, and tax/insurance renewal date.

A key benefit of the e-Plate is that the tag provides an encrypted and
secure ID code which is registered in the Ministry of Transport's
database. This code prevents tampering, cloning, or other forms of fraud
that happen with current camera-based systems. Additionally, the e-Plate
is designed to shatter if anyone tries to remove or otherwise tamper with
it, and the tag can be programmed to transmit a warning if any attempt is
made to dislodge the plate.

 

I don't doubt the technology exists. But you are being a little
tinker for suggesting that it's already being rolled out.

 

That does paint quite a grim picture of the future indeed, not one I
want to be part of.

The GPS bit you can knock out without even touching the box the receiver
is in. Would that do any good, considering that it could be done on a
large scale.

 

No chips, just corruption in high places, and the machines are leased:

I predicted that the rfid embedded plate would become an MOT requirement
within 6 years. And it's well known that Dear Darling's GPS wheeze is
projected to be deployed in around 10 years. So how you get from there to
me suggesting that it's 'already being rolled out' I don't know.

What I do know is that unless public awarenes is raised well in advance,
then it'll slip in under the radar in a few years and it'll be too late to
oppose it.

I may be a paranoid delusional, but at least I'm a public spirited
libertarian paranoid delusional...

 

LOL

"And I'm a Norton-loving public spirited libertarian paranoid
delusional...."

 

Well, you have to remember who you're dealing with here. This poster
is apparently a congenital idiot - he can't spell, but won't use a
spellchecker. His lack of ability on the spelling front even extends
to the POS attrib line to which you have drawn attention - even though
it has been pointed out to him, he persists with it. While you're in
the mood - look at the other end of his posts - apart from the
particularly squirm-making sig, he appends his bloody initials to most
of his posts - above the sig sep.

As to today's evidence - he has a tiny ticking around his brakes (or
was it breaks) which he seems to be positively hysterical about -
well, I would be if I had the only Bandit in existence with
cable-operated brakes. He's a twat: k/f and move on, as it were.

 

GPS doesn't work on a magnetic field, it's radio based, but doesn't work
like a normal radio. So any device that can knock out the GPS signal,
would also have to be radio based... but... the components needed may
not be available for general use. I'm not talking about frying a chip,
more of electronic counter measures.

 

These are not facts. That's George W. Bush's trick - to keep
repeating something until it's taken as truth.

Please don't be so hysterical.

 

Which is why I prefaced my prediction with the word prediction.

Please follow your own advice

 

You leave Gods own marque out of this.

Yep.

Ignoring the Plod who got a bio-record chip, there's an interesting
mention of a company that's set up to chip everybody when the time
comes.

I think Nidge was thinking of EMP and frying chips.

And talking of chips... time for my Northern Scum tea...
