New License Plate Readers Ticket Cars For Polluting The Air

Industrial manufacturing company Siemens Mobility, a company that earned over €14.2 billion ($16.9 billion) since the pandemonium began last year, has now created a new technology that scans plates to determine if the driver is polluting too much.

Citing evidence from MASSPRIVATEI, Technocracy News & Trends says Siemens announced in a press release in 2019 that they were awarded a contract ‘to design, supply and install a clean air zone (CAZ), ANPR camera monitoring and enforcement solution across the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom (UK).’

Siemens Mobility’s proven Sicore II automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will be installed at carefully selected locations across the city. The cameras will identify and register every vehicle that enters the zone – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is anticipated that the system will capture details of around 200,000 vehicles per day, a small percentage of which are expected to be contraventions.

During a January 2021 press release, the company officially announced that they had installed 67 Sicore II CCTV throughout Birmingham and planned to test them.

Siemens Mobility has completed the installation of all 67 monitoring and enforcement cameras for Birmingham City Council’s new clean air zone. Installed at locations across the city centre, the Sicore II automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras are at the heart of the scheme which is scheduled to go live on 1 June 2021.

Siemens Mobility’s ANPR cameras will identify and register every vehicle that enters the CAZ; 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is anticipated that the system will capture details of around 200,000 vehicles per day, a small percentage of which are expected to be contraventions.

The system is integrated with the roadside sensors and ANPR cameras which form part of TfL’s existing Congestion Charging scheme. ANPR cameras identify and register every vehicle that enters the ULEZ – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This information is then transmitted to a dedicated and secure Siemens Mobility data center, where our ULEZ in-station software determines the compliance of the vehicle.

The system can process an immense volume of data, which has to be processed and stored in such a way it can be used as a basis for notifications of charges and penalties. The information the system processes must constitute a strong basis of evidence. Vehicle data from the ANPR camera network is also used by TfL for scheme analysis and reporting, and to assist with their traffic management operations.

Leeds, another city in the U.K., has also recently installed Siemens Sicore II ANPR cameras around the city. According to Leeds-Live, the city spent £11.5 million for the network installation.

The Leeds CAZ was announced in 2018, with the council planning to introduce charges of up to £50 a day for some vehicles after being told its air quality levels did not meet legal standards. Privately-owned cars were never going to be charged under the proposals.

‘The Leeds city council spent £11.5 million; £7.5 million in grants for taxi drivers to upgrade to cleaner vehicles, and £4 million on the new vehicle camera surveillance network,’ according to the report.

Polluting taxis faced being charged £12.50 a day, while HGV drivers and coaches were looking at the prospect of forking out £50 a day if the CAZ was introduced. Taxi drivers were offered up to £10,000 in interest-free loans or a £1,500 grant to make the switch to cleaner vehicles, while bus operators and companies with HGVs were given more as part of a £7 million funding package.

[18] They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. [19] Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

Lamentations 4:18-19

In order to keep the draconian Agenda Absolute Zero and Agenda 2030 on pace, more security and surveillance must be installed. One of the primary goals of those agendas as to radically reduce this so-called “carbon footprint.” In this dystopian future that is on the way, fossil fuels for the masses consumption will be eliminated, and free travel is prohibited in order to “save the earth.”

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
