A system like this isn't any less harmful to privacy than speed cameras, is it?assuming it's not implemented with a bunch of other non privacy friendly features (which I'd argue isn't an issue with the microphone)

They know where you've been...which is fine until the govt doesn't like you

A record for all vehicles passing by a camera is stored, including those for vehicles that are not known to be of interest at the time of the read.

At present ANPR cameras nationally, submit on average around 60 million ANPR ‘read’ records to national ANPR systems daily

Why isn't a microphone an issue? It could easily record everything and upload it
