A fake burberry seeking automatic sniper rifle mounted in strategic places would be a good start

That almost sounds like the police have advised you to commit a crime. And what have the Olympics got to do with anything?

ANPR not being able to read slightly smaller or differently spaced number plates is BS.

What? The Limp Pricks is an excuse for everything that involves the zombies spending what's left of your money.

Are you suggesting that Terrorise-ists don't use personalised plates?

I would NOT want to be the person picking up some lawn feed from B&Q in a 1.4 Astra LS registration plate J14 ADY

I was having a think about this and remembered that the ANPR car parking system at Stansted can read my numberplate but the one at Luton airport can't.

why not just get legal plates?

I love the advice that the police man gave about not breaking the law? what's that all about? Excuse Mr Burglar, you should get out of that house as it's not yours as we are having a crack down on crime with the Olympics coming up. You can keep the TV this time, but we'll probably stop you again if you continue to do it...

we're doomed.
