A local council has announced a trial of 'smart' household waste bins. Each bin is equipped with an RFID chip linked to a specific household's account. When the waste collection vehicle empties a bin, it automatically weighs the waste and uses AI-powered camera sensors inside the vehicle's hopper to detect recyclable items mixed with general waste, automatically generating financial penalties for non-compliance.
Explain two potential legal and/or ethical impacts of introducing this automated waste-monitoring system.
