HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. The camera will capture an image of the number plate of an oncoming vehicle

2. Then, the image will be sent to the police databases to analyse and check for traffic offences

3. The system will then inform the police officer if the number plate has any summonses tagged to it, so that the police officer can take appropriate measures against the offender, which includes the possibility of making an arrest

The police are hoping that this strategy will bring down the number of outstanding summonses in the country
