& now this …
The ‘authorities’ are going to remotely shoot infra-red beams into your car ... & its all in the name of enforcing ‘car-sharing-lane’ regulations
A new road camera that counts car occupants by detecting blood and water content on skin is being tested … Enforcing the more-than-one-occupant rule of car-sharing lanes has been a problem ever since Leeds opened the first in 1998 on the A647.
Using council officers and police is labour-intensive and ordinary CCTV can be fooled by dogs or inflatable humans. But a solution could be provided by a new camera that counts humans by detecting the unique "signature" provided by the blood-water content of human skin.
Its infra-red beam penetrates the windscreen and takes two images of the inside of the vehicle, enumerating the number of people. It is being tested in Leeds.
How about we respond by shooting 00 Buck into their cameras?
& while we are about it, what about ventilating the nangers that came up with this scheme
& the directors of the company that installed them as well as absolutely anyone that thinks, even for a nanosecond, that this might be a good idea?

IR sensors work poorly while the GATSO is being necklaced.
