BIKIES, pedophiles and unregistered drivers will be targeted by a new "Big Brother" style camera being trialled by SA Police.
Police will soon start using four Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras that are already being used by UK police.
Speaking from London, Police Minister Michael Wright said the cameras were "a powerful crime fighting tool."
Tripod-mounted ANPR cameras have been used by Operation Nomad police since 2004 to monitor vehicles of suspected firebugs on days of extreme fire danger.
The new generation of ANPR cameras can be used inside and out of police cars, giving officers more scope to detect suspicious vehicles.
The cameras instantly scan number plates and match them against information stored in databases.
