Default Hidden cameras not the answer

LOL lets hide cameras so people will slow down and reduce the road toll. I seems so simple but it appears not all the experts agree

I love how it will reduce the road toll and reap $150 million extra in revenue.

If everyone is going to slow down from them, how will the revenue go so high? Unless of course that is what it is for

Fkn bullsh!t.

i think i saw on the Mitchell freeway today, they had errected the stand for one of the new "fixed" camera's... be interesting to see where they all go... End up like syd and bris... everyone does 110 most of the time, and slows down to 95-100 about 100m before the camera

I love how it's always Monash University that presents the data in favour of more speed cameras blah blah blah. Guess where Monash get their funding from?

**cough couch** yes we'd like you to do an "audit" on the effect 300 more speed cameras will reap in revenue....ah I mean fatalities.

Second agenda for the meeting today is your funding for next year.

Fixed cameras are easy.

1. Purchase paintball gun.
2. I'm sure you can work out what to do with it.

???

Profit!

What sort of cameras are they gonna be? Any idea Jezza?

Fixed cameras shouldn't worry us a great deal provided that they're not everywhere like over east!
Black spots = fair enough, but all over the joint to increase revenue =

Over here in QLD, they're installing redlight/speed camera combos.
To book you booting it on the orange.

All WA redlight cameras can measure your speed already, that's why they take 2 pictures. They know your speed by how far away you are in the second pic. First pic shows whether it's your front or back wheels on the line.

Something that I often wondered was if you get your pic taken 3 times in a row on say the Mitchell freeway, Why is that 3 separate offences? Surely it's just 3 pieces of evidence on the same offence. If the cameras are hidden (ie; no notification that you have offended) you could potentially rack up thousands of dollars in fines without being aware of any offence. It often takes up to 5 months to send out the notification.
To take this to an extreme, (perhaps some law talking guy can enlighten us) lets say you have some dope growing in your backyard. Each day the police lean over your fence and secretly photograph your plants. Then 5 months later you get 150x fines for growing dope. How is this different?

I've been told people have lost their licenses before when multiple multanovas were set up on 1 road.

It is reaching stupidity now.
