Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to locate and seize vehicles linked to unpaid debts
• Drive-by ANPR clamping involves bailiff companies patrolling streets with ANPR-equipped vehicles to identify cars registered to individuals with unpaid traffic debts or fines. • Once a match is found, a bailiff may be dispatched to clamp or tow the vehicle, often without prior contact with the debtor. • Bailiff firms maintain databases of vehicle registrations linked to outstanding debts and use ANPR to automate enforcement targeting.
