The article is about the DVLA which holds records of all UK registered vehicles. It's also about parking tickets for which the local authority would get the car owner's name and address from the DVLA. Illegal parking and no road tax are the only things a car would get clamped for in the UK.
As the article also says, if you want to keep the car in the UK for more than 6 months, you need to register it and get UK number plates.
Every time I've entered the UK at Dover, or France at Calais, there's a low level camera that records my number plate. They use Automatic Number Plate Recognition equipment that records the number without anyone having to look at the photograph. This is administered in the UK by HM Customs and Immigration department and the police, not by the DVLA.
Yes my friend probably was unlucky, but would you want to take the risk?
