From Liberty Investigates today:
Police forces are trialling AI technology that enables them to identify and track “suspicious” journeys by drivers on Britain’s road network.
They are using an app which analyses data collected by automated number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, using artificial intelligence to identify vehicles that may be linked to “county lines” activity, whereby criminal gangs move drugs across the road network.
Police have until now used the UK’s network of more than 12,000 fixed and nearly 1,900 mobile ANPR cameras to generate alerts when a “vehicle of interest” passes a particular location or confirm whether a car with a specific known registration number has been recorded in the area of a crime. https://libertyinvestigates.org.uk/articles/police-ai-anpr-track-drivers/
There’s no mention of this coming to Scotland as yet.
Why should there be?

No Scotland gets the drugs gangs who are alolowed to take over vulnerable peoples’ homes in our towns, and cities in Scotland. Do the English police care? No. Does the UkEng gov care? No, in fact they’d facilitate such crimes in order to loudly decalre SNP bad across their BritNat media. It’s not unheard of for colonisers to plant criminals in the countries they are intent on taking resources galore from, Scotland is no different being a colony of England.

English drug dealer who moved to Aberdeen ‘for a fresh start’ imported 4,500 ecstasy pills
Tyree Barnes, 26, recruited vulnerable north-east drug users to aid his crack cocaine operation in Aberdeen, Ellon and Peterhead.

A convicted English drug dealer who moved to Aberdeen for “a fresh start” was jailed for six years today after recruiting vulnerable drug users to aid his crack cocaine operation.
Tyree Barnes, 26, was also caught by Border Force officers importing 4,500 ecstasy pills hidden in parcels of chocolates from the continent.
A judge told Barnes at the High Court in Edinburgh: “In terms of the role you played, I consider it a significant one as you involved vulnerable drug users in operations, preying on their vulnerability.”
Lord Scott said: “No quantity or value was given for the cocaine you were concerned in supplying, but that supply was over a period of approximately 17 months.”
Barnes admitted that he was concerned in the supply of the Class A drug cocaine between November 1 in 2023 and March 31 this year at addresses in Ellon, Peterhead, and Aberdeen.
He also pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of ecstasy, also a Class A drug. between November 28 and December 16 last year in Aberdeen and Ellon.
Previous convictions
Barnes, who was residing in Aberdeen, but is currently in HMP Grampian, also admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner on March 31 this year at an address in Peterhead when he shouted, demanded money, made threats and repeatedly struck a front door with an axe.
The judge told Barnes that his criminal record, and in particular two previous convictions for trafficking in Class A drugs, was “a significant aggravation”.
He said that if Barnes was convicted after a trial, he would have faced a sentence of nine years’ imprisonment.
The court heard that Barnes has previous convictions from England for offences of dishonesty, carrying weapons and was twice sentenced to periods of detention for drug crime.
Advocate depute Michael Macintosh said that in November 2024 one man who lost his job and was in financial difficulty received a call from Barnes seeking to use his home for preparing crack cocaine.
Axe threats
A crack cocaine user was also introduced to Barnes, who claimed he was a student in Edinburgh who was up in Aberdeen to make money from selling drugs. He agreed his address in Aberdeen could be used for producing crack.
Barnes was also in contact with a woman in Peterhead who agreed to buy half a gram of crack cocaine from him for £50. It was agreed she would pay for the drugs when she received money later that week.
But he turned up at her home banging on the front door and shouting, and when police arrived, they found an axe. Barnes was traced shortly afterwards at the bus station in Peterhead and detained.
The two consignments of blue ecstasy pills intercepted by Border Force officers had a maximum value of £43,000.
Defence counsel Lynsey Morgan said Barnes was previously living in Birmingham.
She said: “He considers that the Birmingham environment influenced his behaviour. He felt at times that he had fallen in with the wrong crowd.”
“He felt Aberdeen would be a better environment for him. The move to Aberdeen was for a fresh start.”
