新西兰社区团体为ANPR照相机提供资金,用于解决犯罪问题,但尽管得到警察支持,费用高昂威胁到可持续性。 New Zealand community groups fund ANPR cameras for crime solving, but high costs threaten sustainability despite police support.

带有自动号码牌照识别(ANPR)的社区拥有照相机帮助新西兰警察解决了严重罪行,包括谋杀,但地方团体承担了全部维护和安装费用,政府没有提供资金。 Community-owned cameras with automated number plate recognition (ANPR) have helped New Zealand police solve serious crimes, including murders, but local groups bear the full cost of maintenance and installation with no government funding. 在费瑟斯顿,一支志愿巡逻队利用ANPR协助逮捕和起诉,但每年要支付6 500美元的费用——超过其全部预算——迫使它通过活动筹款。 In Featherston, a volunteer patrol used ANPR to aid in arrests and prosecutions, yet faces a $6,500 annual fee—more than its entire budget—forcing it to fundraise through events. 类似财政紧张也延缓或阻止了Hibiscus海岸和Turangi等地区的扩展计划,而供应商的高昂费用和基础设施费用,如奥克兰运输公司4 000美元的电线杆收费,仍然引起争议。 Similar financial strain has delayed or halted expansion plans in areas like the Hibiscus Coast and Turangi, while high fees from providers and infrastructure costs, such as Auckland Transport’s $4,000 pole charge, remain contentious. 虽然警察支持社区主导的努力和鼓励赠款申请,但并不支付费用,使许多团体不顾已证明的好处,为维持监视项目而挣扎。 Though police support community-led efforts and encourage grant applications, they do not cover expenses, leaving many groups struggling to sustain surveillance projects despite proven benefits.
