    Default new SPEED-CAMERAs are on the roads, their strike rate is incredible!!

    Video speed cameras - Today Tonight

    New technology.. fast, efficient and unavoidable...
    “By the time you see it being operated by a person, you would have been detected - it's anywhere anytime,” Fogate said.
    In three hours, the very least this camera can make, at the lowest infringement rate, is $20,000 - that's $110 a minute.


    im gonna hate this, even tho i haven't been caught by any speed camera before..

    It doesn't sounds like they are mainly aim to eliminate accidents but to generate $$$$, it's a great money making machine. $110 per minute

    vic & SA said no

    “There's been a war on speeding drivers in every state it’s been going on for years and the technology keeps getting better and this is the best there is,” Cadogan concluded.
    and it's not working... silly people....

    i support speed cameras in school zones etc but you need great big signs saying "speed camera ahead, speed limit is xx"
    mobile units just scare your average driver into watching their speedo too much

    A condiction of speed cameras and mobile, they have to be in plan sight. So they made it illigal for radars det. This is a law that the govenment has broken, who will stand up to this bullshit?! It will take all of us...............

    People in this country are too f***ing apathetic, nothing will get done because 99% of them are brain-dead sheep that will lap up everything the media tells them.

    I think radar detector is still can be used in WA. And it's the only state that still allows it?
    I still use it everyday Detected twice last week but I wasn't speeding anyway...

    There are infra-red cameras that aren't picked up by radar detectors that they use here, not sure about the other states.

    The new LIDAR systems use laser range finding as opposed to the RADAR ones we had previously. The flash is what's infra-red, not the camera itself.
    Some modern radar detectors can pick up the laser. AFAIK they are all banned here in WA now, or at least are pushing to ban them.

    Or you could dodge the whole illegality argument by installing the right (legal) parking sensor that just happens to operate on the same 904nm spectrum as police LIDAR devices (Prolaser III etc)
