That is a significant and welcome step forward, but I ask the Minister to consider two things. First, many a terrestrial crime is carried out with, for example, masks, stolen vehicles, false or cloned number-plates, or other ways of avoiding detection. It will not take anyone armed with a pair of pliers or a screwdriver long to figure out how to disable or bypass the technology, and then tell their associates via the dark web, or elsewhere. Secondly, Ministers will also need to ensure that the police have the tools, training and capacity to both exploit any detection system and deal with its inevitable circumvention.
