"PAEDOPHILES and violent criminals are to be targeted by police in an unprecedented surveillance operation across Scotland.
More than 3000 registered sex offenders and the country�s most dangerous non-registered sexual predators are to be effectively put under 24-hour surveillance in a bid to dramatically cut the number of rapes, child abductions and murders.
Under the scheme, which will be piloted in five police force areas in a matter of weeks, all information held on an individual by the police, their social work sex offender team and the Scottish Prison Service will be shared between the agencies and held in a new national intelligence database.
As part of the pilots, the registration number of their car will be stored in a network of cameras around the country that will alert the police if their vehicle passes, revealing undisclosed trips or journeys to areas they are banned from visiting."
