Carbon tracking cameras are a thing?

I’ve seen the videos of the Brits putting bat boxes in front of the speed cameras and since bats are a protected species the govt is breaking the law removing them

you realize that a "carbon tracking camera" is just there to track cars and if you're not driving a car the elites approve of they fine you right?
they don't atually measure carbon output.

To help clear London's air, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (25 December). The zone operates across all London boroughs, and does not include the M25.


If your vehicle doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions standards and isn't exempt, you need to pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive within the zone. This applies to cars, motorcycles, vans and specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes).


Lorries, vans or specialist heavy vehicles (all over 3.5 tonnes) and buses, minibuses and coaches (all over 5 tonnes) do not need to pay the ULEZ charge. They will need to pay the LEZ charge if they do not meet the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) emissions standard.


Owners of non-UK registered vehicles also need to meet the ULEZ emissions standards or pay the daily charge to drive within the zone. Vehicles need to be registered with our partner EPC plc, even if they meet the emissions standards.

very magnanimous of them to let you visit family on christmas day without charging you $15 dollars though.

it's just a plate reader
reads the plate number and makes a spreadsheet, which is looked up and sorted by cars registered as gas/diesel and the ones registered as electric

I got curious after seeing this thread last night.

Fired up the Wikipedia app on my iPhone. Which led me to other tax BS London has; congestion charge.

I am glad we (:usa:) refuse to pay that BS tax.

London congestion charge - Wikipedia

Payment by embassies​

Following pressure from the Mayor of London, an increasing number of embassies accepted the charge and by 2008 a total of 99 out of 128 embassies had agreed to the charge. Among others, decliners include Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States, who, by 2015, collectively owed £95 million. The United States and Germany are reported to consider it to be a local tax, from which they are protected by the Vienna Convention, rather than a toll.

In May 2011, Johnson raised the issue with the President of the United States, Barack Obama, who was fined £120 after driving through London in the Presidential state car without paying the toll during a state visit to Buckingham Palace. The United States subsequently claimed diplomatic immunity. A TfL spokesperson noted that US embassies do pay tolls in Oslo and Singapore. In 2024 Transport for London estimated that, by the end of 2023, £143 million was owed by foreign embassies in London: since the charge was introduced in 2003, the US Embassy owed the most with £14.6 million, followed by Japan at £10 million, India with £8.5 million, and Nigeria with £8.4 million.

The amount of money Portland has spent on cameras in the last couple of years is completely disgusting. :mad3:

Seems like every week I drive by a new speed camera. Of all the things this city needs to have fixed they chose to spend money on these stupid fucking things...


There is one by my house on a wooden power pole that has been cut down twice now with what appears to have been a chain saw judging by the pile of sawdust next to the pole in the morning.

They make a lot of money off of them. I got a red light camera ticket once. If you take a class, they lower the fine and keep it off your record. It took me three weeks to get in the class because they are always booked.

I'm sure that's typical .gov "we got a flat tire on our way to arrest you so we're gonna add $2k to the bill" type math. :mad3:

Of course they'll never tell you how much theft was prevented by what he did over the time it took them to undo the damage, probably far exceeds $500k
 
This shit isn't bought or paid for by the taxpayers, not directly anyway. I would bet there's a company that has sold this idea to these people. And every bit of info is theirs.
