A new initiative is being trialled which couples AI with Automatic Number Plate Recognition to catch and fine litter louts throwing things from motor vehicles

The ‘LitterCam’ that’s watching you – BBC News  (sorry cannot paste the full link)

It is an offense to throw anything from a moving vehicle. Apart from making our country roads unpleasant to ride along every piece of litter represents an inconsiderate motorist. I reckon it’s the same ones that think Punishment Passing is just a bit of good fun

Agreed.

The problem using camera based systems is that they can only cover a small strech of road at one time The motoring organisations will insist that in the interests of British fair play there will be a warning sign fifty yards before each camera. But it’s a start. The certainty of getting caught and punished is the deterrent.

They really need to install cameras at known regular fly tipping spots. On my rides I go by the same places, always freshly strewn with fly-tipped rubbish after the last lot was cleared up. There is no mystery about where it is going to happen.

Then the magistrates need to sentence the perps to a five year stint of being responsible and accountable for keeping that stretch of road spotless. If that means clearing up after every other fly-tipper so much the better. They’ll have an incentive to grass them up.
