A national network of roadside cameras will capture 50 million licence plates a day, enabling officers to reconstruct the journeys of motorists.
The details will be recorded and stored at a new data centre in Hendon, North London, for use by police in investigations ranging from terrorism to low-level crime.
Already some 10 million journeys a day are being recorded using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), but this is set to rise significantly once the camera network becomes fully operational in four months' time, the Home Office said. Whereas under the original plan the data could be stored for two years only, this has now been extended to five years.
