Anyone celebrating this is a fool.

This will lead to more spying on you, gives police even more power, and offers you only less noise for how many cars?

Trees, greenery and better housing design might solve the issue or make it not bad.

Self reporting, followed by an inspection to verify the car's sound could solve this issue.

But more surveillance for another ones of the world surveillance states is so fucking stupid.

For me, it's worth it. I live next to a forest already, far outside the city center, and there's still assholes racing at night at the nearby street because it's quite secluded and straight.

Also, I'm not worried about microphones on busy streets. It's a public space already, which affects the content of my speech already. Microphones at home should be much more important for anyone worried about privacy.
