So when an ANPR equipped car scans a registration, it must give details as to the insurance, MOT and tax status of the vehicle.
It probably also gives the name of the registered keeper.
Now if one is in leafy Surrey I guess a Mr Johnson to be Caucasian. If it's Mr. Johnson in London, then he could be from one of several ethnicities.
Does the computer also provide a copy of the driving licence or ethnicity of the driver - again if it does then race could be determined before the stop.
