Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

I wish to know the reason why NZTA has established cameras that may be
used by ANPR software. I know that in my area, on SH5 there is one at the
Hemo roundabout and one at Golden Springs, for example. The ostensible
reason for these cameras seems to be for 'Traffic Flow' control, but what
ANPR has to do with this is difficult for me to understand.

 

I believe that it more likely that ANPR data is used for enforcement
purposes. Please let me know what arrangement NZTA has with enforcement
agencies to whom the ANPR camera feeds are made available. Which agencies
can access these feeds?

 

And in any case why is NZTA involved in these enforcement operations
outside its statutory duties?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Peter Dare
