ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/07/07 10:14 AM Share Posted 27/07/07 10:14 AM I have a picture somewhere of a cop sound asleep while "monitoring" a speed camera in sydney about 10 years ago.If there was a camera car in my street I would park behind them with a huge sign. They cannot do anything, unless they admit that they are doing it purely for revenue.I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groper Member 611 Member For: 17y 10m 19d Posted 28/07/07 01:24 PM Share Posted 28/07/07 01:24 PM (edited) up here in QLD where I live, the cameras are always taking the picture from behind. A friend of mine said they were not allowed to go front on anymore due to privacy issues. Such as if you get a ticket in the mail and the picture shows the sexy blonde in your front passenger seat that's not your wife or GF.... imagine the sh*t hit the fan when your wife sees it... even though your innocent, she was just a work collegue getting a lift home coz her car broke down etc... honest I swear honey! bet the polllies got done a few time themselves...so yeah, I NEVER see them going front on anymore...

They usually sit in the passenger seat, I think, because more room to stretch out with the mags/paper whilst they while the time away. I think it's all automatic, so they can just amuse themselves for the period they are parked. And there is usually only one - the fining authorities can't afford to pay for 2 of 'em to read the paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be considered as hindering police? Im not too sure myself.NSW RTA currently seeking aproval for the same type of setup, using unmarked cars with mounted speed cameras and no signage.
