Boys...puting a fake plate number means its un registered car.That system is supposed to work with various authority at the same time..from Insurance,Taxi, security etc. There should be a database where anything caught on camera can be compared.From face recognition, stolen cars, cars that have been reclaimed in insurance or elsewhere as right-off, suspects, etc.. If the said one isn't having these basic features then its more than funny.

@Andrew, I guess if someone steals the camera, the authorities will have an idea how the thief looks like and what conditions existed for it to be stolen. Including whether they used a ladder or a lorry(Whose number plate they will have). 90% of Nairobi and Nakuru roads have grown dark courtesy of vandals. Maybe this will provide a reprieve.

Traffic Cameras in Nairobi
by Alex Njiru 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Skunks A statement that has just been sent to our office *All,* For your information: Please note that the traffic cameras within the Nairobi CBD are now operational. This means that if you break any traffic laws (jump lights, make u-turns, wrong turns, overtaking in restricted areas, entering through no entry areas or pick at the wrong points) your vehicle registration plate will be captured by the camera and a warrant of arrest can be issued. The cameras are never turned off hence do not be fooled by low traffic, early morning or late night hours, weekends, Sundays and public holidays. Please note that since there will be a camera record of all these acts, a not guilty plea in court may not stand. You are expected to familiarize yourself and obey all traffic laws. Also please inform all your family, friends and other colleagues.
