Stasi Spies On The Brit Motorways

Big Brother fears as motorists are urged to inform on each other

"Police are asking motorists to spy on each other for examples of poor driving in an alarming new extension of the 'Big Brother' state.
Drivers are told to be on the look out for inconsiderate driving or anybody making 'excessive noise' with their car.
Detailed reports - which critics warn could easily be malicious accusations against neighbours - are submitted to the police, who log extensive details on a huge computer database.
The details are also checked against DVLA databases and the Police National Computer.
Anybody who is reported twice in 12 months faces police action - despite never being caught breaking the law.
Officers say they can be considered 'repeat offenders'.
The action could involve a warning letter or even a knock on the door from a police officer.
The force that is piloting the scheme, Sussex, has already received 20,488 reports.
They are made online - with the accused driver never knowing who is responsible."
