British "Blade Runners" have destroyed 90% of ULEZ surveillance cameras that enforce the government's 'zero emissions' scheme, penalizing citizens for driving. More than 50K Brits have refused to pay the fines. The courts are overwhelmed and the .gov may abandon its WEF 15 minute city program.

Subaru's employee portal holds a year's worth of location data for all internet-connected cars.
