I just read in the LA Times that the South Coast Air Quality Management District "plans to use remote sensors and video cmeras to measure airpllution from 1 million vehicles as they enter freeways and navigate roads in the couties of Los Angles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside."

The plan for installation of these devices is expected to gain approval nex month and would provide enough sensors to scan 1 million cars (one in ten cars). The plan seems to target older cars built in the 80's or older. But the consequences are such that if caugt, offenders would be sent a letter informing them that the govermenment would pay to fix or scrap their vehicles! That is hilarious, the gov't is willing to pay out money rather than scrap and old car.

Sounds like a smokescreen to me. How the hell are the sensors supposed to differentiate between and old car and a new car? With one in ten cars potentially being caught by the sensors, it is not unlikely that fellow Evo owers will be caught. We'll have to keep an eye out for this one.
