timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 11m 16d Gender: Male Posted 14/10/13 11:24 PM Share Posted 14/10/13 11:24 PM Oh dear!http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/victoria-police-adjusts-mobile-speed-camera-rules-to-allow-cameras-to-be-concealed/story-fni0fee2-1226739895665Vic government and police must be at their wits end trying to gouge the ordinary motorist.So my understanding with this new approach is that a speeding motorist will unknowingly get caught and continue speeding on his /her merry way .The previous approach,with unconcealed mobile speed cameras,had people slowing down when they saw a mobile speed camera.Police and Vic government would rather have people get caught speeding and thus feed the government coffers rather than have people slow down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms700 Moderating Team 10,170 Member For: 21y 10m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/10/13 11:43 PM Share Posted 14/10/13 11:43 PM The public, in general, feel safer as a community, when hi visibility policing occurs. If all the 'hoons'' for example, saw a HWP car sitting on a main road, doing speed checks, RBT, or ANPR, chances are they won't chuck a skid in a few klms time. And possibly a crim scoping out houses to break into, may find a suburb with a bit less po po attention.A unmarked kluger however, with no sign writing to state what it there for, only achieves one thing, revenue for the state government. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidxr6t skids Donating Members 2,754 Member For: 11y 11m 3d Gender: Not Telling Posted 15/10/13 12:18 AM Share Posted 15/10/13 12:18 AM (edited) It's a rort in WA and I can't believe we all support it.They're ALL hidden pretty much and they always talk about how it "prevents" people speeding in the dangerous locations they are situated. I lost my licence with less than 100kw and now haven't had one ticket in the xr6t after a year of driving it (30,000km+).They're mostly in x trails and VW vans luckily for us in WA. Only thing that sucks is people who park their x trail deliberately to replicate a speed trap. I have always supported police being present, I have never supported their tactics.

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 12d Posted 15/10/13 12:39 AM Share Posted 15/10/13 12:39 AM Kents... Always raising revenue, the $100m in Victoria alone from mobile speed cameras wasn't enough last financial year..I would really like to see a law passed, or government policy introduced, that shows where an increase in speed cameras is introduced and the revenue raised increases significantly but number of crashes and deaths doesn't decline at all or very minimally then this is blatant revenue raising and thus camera's should be reduced back to what they were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to make money from it than find a middleground solution. Also congrats to NT for opening up sections of Stuart hwy to an unlimited speed. At least we have a progressive gonverment somewhere in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
