Hey I have worked as a postie, can I come ?

But I don't like the site of blood, or people begging for their life. So how's about we just jump in the back of a ute and drive around to all the cameras. Point them up and lay lasts nights steak on them. And then shoot them.

6 guys in the back and two in the front divided by six billion cameras ???? I'll bring the curry.

Great Idea, Count me in - for sure.

But we may need one of this once our mission is complete, or perhaps even 20 minutes into it.

Much simpler option with out the jail time...

[Auscraft]

Its a good one Dagabond BUT, there is always a but.

I pass a fixed camera almost at every second intersection, so I will have to have this plate protector on all the time. So when the coppers catch you, and they will, you can tell them and the fine for having this on can be bigger than having no plates at all.

Damn

NSW: Mobile Speed Cameras To Double Fine Revenue To $570 Million By 2012

Jun 9, 2010

Beginning on July 19, New South Wales will begin rolling out its mobile speed camera program, replacing the state's outdated cameras with new digital systems capable not only detecting speed, but also of reading number plates.

As part of the NSW Government's budget announced this week, the mobile speed cameras are expected to contribute to an increase in fine revenue from $291 million in 2009 to $428 million by next year. Under the budget forecast, last year's take will have almost doubled to $570 million by 2012.

On their own, the mobile speed cameras - which will be operated by a private company - are expected to increase the number of speeding tickets by 5 percent, adding about $137 million to fine revenue.

Speaking with News Ltd, Opposition roads spokesperson Andrew Stoner said that the expected increase in revenue was a clear revenue-raising tactic, using speed cameras to grow the state's budget rather than deter speeding motorists.

"This means the state's fiscal position now relies on more motorists speeding on our roads," Mr Stoner said. "Speed cameras should be there to deter motorists from driving dangerously, not to raise revenue."

. .The NSW Government also announced that it will inject a further $11 million into paying police officers, amounting to a pay rise of nearly 2 percent - described by Opposition police spokesperson Mike Gallacher as "insignificant".

Most significantly, the NSW Government announced a $300 million increase in road development, increasing the state's spend on its roads to $4.7 billion.

Around $810 million has been earmarked for the Pacific Highway (up $147 million on last year) and $115 million for the Great Western Highway (up $47m).
