New York’s New Automated Camera System Is Built To Ticket Loud Cars

The war on loud cars is in full swing in New York. Thanks to a new automated camera-based systems New Yorkers could receive warnings about their loud car. A unique pilot program was started in New York City where owners of loud cars could receive a very unfortunate letter in the mail. Examples of this letter system have already been shared on Facebook where we get an idea of how the state of New York will use its new automated camera network to crack down on excessively loud cars.

In a Facebook post shared by Car and Driver, we can see the result of New York’s program on an NYC-based BMW M3 owner. The official letter states the owner of the M3 must go to an inspection station or face an $875 plus fine. Car and Driver pointed out that the inspection station is actually a sewage treatment plant which only adds insult to injury.
