Authorities in Belgium have condemned Transport for London (TfL) over alleged breaches of data protection laws, resulting in thousands of EU drivers being fined.
Belgium authorities have condemned Transport for London over alleged breaches of data protection laws, resulting in over 20,000 EU drivers being fined.Since Brexit, UK authorities have not allowed access to the personal data of citizens living in the EU for non-criminal enforcement.However, Belgium’s Ministry of Transport has claimed thousands of people, driving EU-registered vehicles, have been unlawfully given fines for breaching Ulez.
The ‘blade runner’ vigilante actions have become so severe that Ulez wardens have now been granted permission to wear balaclavas to hide their identities.Ulez cameras have even wrongly fined drivers.A camera in Harrow, north-west London, is outside the Ulez but around 927 drivers were wrongly captured on the camera and handed fines. TfL has moved the camera and refunded the drivers for the fines - which could have netted the transport agency more than £166,000.
