“But what if we the cost of that camera’s just can win?”.

260 new and highly advanced camera’s on the highway. They are the outcome of the federal antiterreurplan of our southern neighbours. Meant to be terrorists, a point could only be the two-sided function. The ANPR cameras to scan the license plates of passing traffic and in some locations as well as speed enforcement zones. Would they be faster with the identify of the scanned car.

Interior Minister Jan Jambon has countless hoedtikken received from his superiors for his sharp, ambiguous and financially beneficial plan. However, the people less happy (or is it?). According to Newspaper sells Jambon it as “investing in safety”, but citizens see only a government that has the people at every opportunity a ear aannaait.

However, the Belgians believe that terror is still the first priority. Outside the plan of the cameras are also other measures taken, for example, additional blue on the street.

In total, 8.5 million euro has been spent on the cameras, but one must still decide where the cameras are. Probably as much as possible to the frontiers.

Thanks to Joel for the tip!
