Default Speed Cameras Record Every Car

In this article about British speed cameras, and a trick to avoid them that does not work, is this sentence:
As vehicles pass between the entry and exit camera points their number plates are digitally recorded, whether speeding or not.
Without knowing more, I can guarantee that those records are kept forever.

EDITED TO ADD (7/25): Passenger moons speeding camera and gets his picture published even though the car was not speeding.
Police may take action against the man for public order offences and not wearing a seat belt. Officers have the registration of the car, which was not breaking the speed limit, and intend to contact its owner.

It is understood the driver will not face prosecution as no driving offence was being committed.
How did they even know to look at the picture in the first place?

Speed camera are nothing more than revenue raisers for the Government.

Serious? I've seen a cop picking his nose and eating it before...they were waiting at the traffic lights, and the driver wasn't looking while his passenger was picking his goobers and eating them...pity there were no cameras around to snap him in the act.

They say the stop sign cameras in Chicago will bring in 50 million dollars in revenue this year alone.

Yep, but the Government says they are 'saving lives'. Sure they are. How many lives have been saved from speed camera? Not one, but they have generated millions of dollars, and many people get fined for speeding when they never sped at all and it costs too much to go to court and get the fine overturned so they are forced to pay it, and still the Government says they are not revenue raisers and they are not faulty, blah blah...

They need money now that we have a housing crash. Less property tax will crush overpaid government employees.

We have a big property and rental crash over here. Houses are too expensive to buy, rent is too expensive...apparently, in about 20 years, a house costing $130,000 today would be worth more than $1 million.

I can understand why some people fear for the future.

The price of homes here went up from 400k to 500k in 52 weeks and continued to go beyond that into the 800k range and now Stockton California has the most foreclosures in the nation and that is about a 2 hour drive from me. I live in one of the highest cost of living areas in the USA and a cheap house goes for 600k+, however that is starting to drop. We just had a 27% drop in housing prices in the last few months. But now the Banks are crashing and two more just went under that's five so far that Ive seen in the news. The Banks won't be giving out many loans now so it doesn't matter if the price drops much lower. Too many already lost their credit rating.
