Is it really wasting money?
Compared to arresting people and sending them to prison which costs money, the revinue raised through fines makes for a much better return on the money invested. Are they actually bureaucrats or just business men :wink:

I have an issue with it.
Having Dialled 999 4 times while I worked at express as the local yobs were preventing us from leaving. Each time being told it was non urgen despite a window going in and having to put the shutters down. It got to the extent that I hit the panic buttons and central station still couldnt get it out.
To cut a long story short they wouldnt come out.
On the way home there were 4 vans, 2 bikes, 3 pandas and a traffic car doing spot checks about 2 miles away.
Then I got a call 2 hours later telling me the gang had attacked and stabbed my security guard on his way home.

On the Black country route they operate the ANPR units quite a lot - best one was a 'kid' in a tricked out BMW 3 series - alloys - huge stereo etc, getting done for no tax he came out with the 'I Cant afford to tax it' so copper said 'OK sign this and the fine is £0 - BUT you're car is ours and WILL be crushed'
Kid signed the form and went to take stuff out the car - but was told in no uncertain terms that he had just signed over the vehicle AS IS, and as such he could only take his phone and coat..lol
looked gutted- especially when it was craned onto the back of a Transporter, locals reckoned they took nearly 20 cars in a morning - Oldest car was a 1995 M plater!!!
Plenty round by us with £300 cars with £300 stereos and £300 alloys on em - but no tax!!!

Why not resell the cars they impound and crush the owners... much better option

Great idea.... shame the so called leaders of our country couldnt think about all the cash that would be generated from it.....
Auction the cars off.... use the money to employ more policemen.... put those policemen on the beat.... catch more criminals... raise more cash.... employ more policemen.... etc etc.
