He added there's no getting away now with the technology thats available to the Police.

So the people in the clip are being prosecuted for not having the money to pay for accidents they haven't caused yet? Or am I missing something (that's not impossible btw
)
Re getting away with it - the system isn't foolproof -surely if someones using cloned plates for example the ANPR system won't register a lack of insurance unless the 'donor' vehicle isn't isnured either.
