DPI Media statement - abbreviated

"Western Australians will no longer need registration stickers and discs on their cars, trailers and motorcycles from January 1, 2010.

The Premier said there were 2.2 million cars, utilities and light vehicles registered in WA and with the majority of people choosing to renew their registration every six months, this meant more than three million stickers were being produced each year.

“This is an innovative approach to efficiency and saving. WA is leading the nation with this step forward to a more modern and efficient government,” he said.

Mr Barnett said stickers and discs were no longer required because police had new communications technology meaning registration details could be checked using the new Police Metropolitan Radio Network.

"The new system gives police instant access to the State's vehicle registration database via computers located in all police vehicles,” he said.

“Police also have Automatic Numberplate Recognition Cameras, similar to the Multanova cameras, which can record and assess numberplates as vehicles pass by.”

Transport Minister Simon O’Brien said that the Department for Planning and Infrastructure would continue to send registration renewal notices to vehicle owners six weeks prior to the expiration of a vehicle’s registration"

Leading the country by using Automatic Numberplate Recognition Cameras to track your act :)

They've had the ANPR system in pommyland for a while now.

Mostly they check for tax, insurance, registration, licensed drivers, and warrants.

Over here they would more than likely check for registration and licensed drivers.

The bigger the database gets though, the more they'll be able to access.

Better be good kids!

im scared

This is true.

A few months ago i was driving a car not owned by me, a highway patrol car was in another lane and as it went to pass me, it slowed, pulled in behind me and pulled me over. I was informed the vehicle was owned by an unlicensed driver and i had to produce my license etc to show it wasnt me.

I think the whole no rego sticker is a good idea...however i think DPI might need to get their system in order first.

Im sure im not the only one who has looked at the sticker on the window and then had to ring up for the paperwork as it had not been sent yet due to 'clerical delays and errors'. With out the sticker, i imagin alot of people will not know when its due.

Also when i drive a customers car on the road, what happens if it turns out the vehicle is unregistered? I guess im the one who gets the fine?

Too true. If you were a little old lady driving down to the corner store and got pulled over you would be told to contact the DPI as soon as you get home.

If you were driving an import, they would do you for driving an unregistered vehicle, slap up a yellow sticker for some concocted rubbish, tow and impound your car, then throw you in a cell with Bubba the butt bandit for the night.

My boss has 12 cars or so. Is he expected to remember when the rego is due on all of them incase the DPI has a 'clerical delay'?

Considering he cant remember what he did yesterday it might be a problem hahaha

A day without the boss is an easy day! :)

Not quite.. I got done just before xmas, was driving in to work on a Saturday and thought I'd stop past PerthRC on the way. Cops going the other way saw the wrong coloured sticker and pulled me over. I explained that it got forgotten about in the xmas crazies, they popped my bonnet etc and ended up letting me drive to work so I could pay the rego and all I got was a small fine.

Thats why he has you Brad ;)
Not to mention the hassle of peeling them off without leaving goo on your windscreen
They've got better over the years, they used to be a problem.

All in all, for the law abiding citizen it's good news...but I'm always concerned when lawful persons are the subject of "random" surveillance.

faulty system

According to my sources, its an offline system;

The database of vehicles is synchronized and taken onsite to the camera/van system where it can query the passing car's plates quickly. Depending on the last time their system synchronized and when you paid your rego, you might be pulled over as the result of a false-positive.

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
