If he has ANPR, then it must view a public place, in which case I hope he has the relevant signage and complies with all applicable DPA regulations.

ANPR is used by petrol stations all the time, the difference with Police ANPR, is that it is linked to the Police National Computer.
+1
he will want money for that signage
right, so what is the difference in information the 2 give?

All petrol stations have is a record of what registration plate entered the station and when. PNC will tell us who the car is registered to, insurance details, addresses, Tax etc.
ANPR just records the registration plate the link to the national computer will tell you to who the plate is registered.

It's not linked to the PNC or DVLA databases so It's perfectly legal. It just clearly reads registration numbers.
Its like hoover being synonymous with vacuum cleaners - ANPR just refers to the process of analysing a digital image to produce a list of the number plates that can be recognised in the image by a computer system. What then is done with that information i.e. querying a police database is another matter but lumped under the same term when talking about what the police do.

I think it's probably a good thing that police cannot buy evidence. It could open up a big can of corruption.
ANPR is merely a system for recognising and identifying numberplates
On a police system this is linked to their databases to pull information they have relating to that number, on a home system it just gives you a numberplate.

What a neoliberal Friedmanite idiot!
Why should you expect payment for doing your civic duty? It cost you nothing for the police to get a copy of your CCTV on their thumb drive so why should you expect payment? It's not jury service were you miss work and are compensated for it.

Did they produce a warrant or court order to enter your premises?
I think the Op is just trolling tbh. If he is for real I feel sorry for society, but then again the majority of people flamed him so maybe the majority of the people in the UK are still nice.
If I had CCTV installed at home and it helped provide evidence I would be posting on here saying "Wooo I helped catch a murderer!" and be proud I helped out.
The fact the Op described the police as harassing him leaves me thinking that its just a troll post.

Consider you have given evidence to convict a murderer (a bad person), the case falls through on a technicality... and you gave evidence to convict him
*devil's advocate*
no idea how theyd know you had a system, perhaps they just saw the cameras?

While we're on the subject, is there a grant available for people who have eyes?
So, again, why do you need it?
