I’m on the fence with your statement because it kinda describes WRC cars and they’re FUCKING AWESOME
Comment on Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars

I’m on the fence. Daft custom exhaust on a 1.5 turbo 3cyl is stupid, but there’s no way I can agree to more surveillance.

In general I wouldn’t mind people having the freedom to make their cars impossible to sit any reasonable amount of time inside, but I don’t currently have a suggestion on how to make certain peeps be not assholes in residential areas.
In regards to WRC - isn’t that world rally championship? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one happening anywhere near apartment buildings on single lane streets with cars parked on both sides and kids’ playground nearby.

I’m an American who stumbled here by accident but do you guys have many cars/bikes that are noisy out of the factory? The guys running Civics with a pineapple shooter look like assholes but I kind of get it if you’ve got a big V8 that just sounds like that

Nothing really sounds loud out of the factory. It’s always the peashooters with custom exhaust.

I guess it depends what your comfort surveillance is.
In this case, it would likely be “camera activated at 96dBA, numberplate in view was BO55 MAN, NIP being sent to keepers address”

It would be brilliant if it was this isolated. But it seems like every step in surveillance always leads to more surveillance. It’s always some innocent excuse, without ever drawing the full picture together with preexisting stuff.
There’s now a generarion that has grown up without ever having experienced not being watched.
