There are a lot of assumptions in this thread so I am going to make another one and assume that these are ULEZ cameras around London.
There was a controversial expansion of the low emissions zone to cover the whole metropolitan area a couple of years ago. After that, groups, mainly from the hard-right factions decided that they wanted to cut them down. This isn’t a privacy move as they weren’t targeting any of the many other existing cameras that are set up for things like vehicle tax and insurance, but more of a “I want to drive what I want no matter how polluting” type thing. There are also overlaps with the 15-minute city and anti-net-zero gang.
Although it sounds nice to have the whole city be demotorised, I don’t think that is quite feasible yet. If you are wanting to be privacy-conscious, using a car is not the way forward.
