Hereditary peerage was ended with the House of Lords Act 1999.
I don't know anything about UK law, but apparently the act still allows for 92 hereditary peers[1], and indeed: "The most recent grant of a hereditary peerage was in 2019 for the youngest child of Elizabeth II, Prince Edward"[2] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lords_Act_1999 [2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_peer

#62They do speed tracking by camera and send fines in the mail already in the UK. Reports are that nationwide camera network already tracks cars from driveway to destination. Worse cameras are now looking at activity inside the vehicle for fines - like not having a seatbelt in place or having a cellphone in hand. There was even a fine issued for “flipping off” a traffic camera https://nypost.com/2021/02/15/uk-driver-avo…

I just leave mine off entirely. When it fails to scan, they do ALPR to figure out who to send the ticket to, but, before they send a ticket they lookup against the EZPass database to see if your car is in it, and if so, they just debit your account like the tag did scan. If that happens often enough, they send you a new tag and ask for the broken one back. Oddly I keep getting defective tags.
I like you.
