United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

ANPR cameras have been used in the UK for decades to mainly enforce things like tax, inner-city emissions restrictions and speed. I realise this has recently become a contentious issue via Flock in the US, but it seems to me a fairly efficient way to enforce these things. There are two big differences with the American model - data is kept within the police (not a private third-party), and policing is not nearly as well resourced.
If you are concerned about privacy, then a mode of transport that doesn't require you to have a unique identifier plastered over your vehicle seems like the better option to me.
