Data privacy risks with Gauteng's new number plates

The number plate recognition system envisioned for Gauteng to help fight crime in the province could come with unwanted consequences if the data it captures falls into the wrong hands.

Speaking to Cape Talk, Nathan-Ross Adams, founder and managing director at ITLawCo, warned that the data could result in harm to residents if not used responsibly.

Another problem is that the new plates will expire every five years, requiring replacement. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/moto...-gautengs-self-destructing-number-plates.html

Lucky for us the state is pretty tight and on the ball when it comes to security and looking after us...it's a relief to know we are safe in their knowledgeable hands ..

Keep in mind that it is the low IQ genius cANCer that came up with this so plates that expire every 5 years means more money for the fat piggy cadres

Remember, you filthy citizen: The Guavament is exempt from any privacy laws.

Leak your contacts and you're fined.

DOJ hands *everything* over to threat actors.... not a single peep.

Disasterous actions with no consequences or responsibility. It's the ANC way.

It’s the DA way too

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen and will probably do very little to curb crime. If this becomes mandatory, I will buy a new car and register it in MP.

"Yay for cashless/digital-ID/digitial-drivers/location tracking/etc.! But Panyaza's number plates give me privacy worries..!"

Because criminals follow the law... there will now be no undocumented cars or cars with fake plates.

Then there's the issue of the new features. I'm sure this will open up a new industry for facsimile license plates that last indefinitely and only look like they have the features. ANC has learned nothing after etollies.
