Sickening use of tech. Living in a true surveillance state

Easy to say when you don't live next to a road frequented by drivers with ridiculous modified exhausts.

MOTs already have a decibel limit. I don't understand how these vehicles can be road worthy considering how loud they are.

This technology feels like an engineers solution to a trivial legal issue.

Isn't the issue that some people work around MOT decibel limits? After all they only need to pass the decibel limit on the MOT test, and not on the road in regular use.

The engineering solution approach doesn't seem to be fundamentally different to speed cameras.

Motorcycle exhausts are easy to swap out so people could easily take the MOT with the stock exhaust then swap the loud exhaust into place when they get home.

I used to live in downtown Chicago, where the worst violators where high end sports cars, though we did get the occasional quartet of motorcycles ripping down the roat at 3am.

Illinois doesn't require vehicle inspections, so there's no opportunity for exhaust modifications to be discovered.

What would be a better solution in your view?

>Sickening use of tech. Living in a true surveillance state

people with loud exhausts are shouting "look at me, look at me", so think of it like a clickwrap license agreeing to be surveilled

Satire?
