Reading the local paper last night and saw an article showing pictures of a wheely bin that Police have set up as a speed camera. Apparently it is placed on the nature strip as though it is there for rubbish collection.
Is there anything that the Bracks government wont do to catch unsuspecting motorists (doing 64kph)?
Funnily enough, I havent seen too many speed cameras at black spots etc. Cant imagine why.

Speed camera stolen from
Perth suburb
Monday, 23 June 2003
A multa-nova speed camera has been stolen from the roadside in the
Perth suburb of Kingsley.
The operator reported the camera missing from Hepburn Avenue about 10:00pm AWST yesterday.
A police search of the area found pieces of the camera discarded in near-by bushland, but the film canister was missing.
Last week a man used a baseball bat to destroy a multa-nova camera set-up on Wanneroo Road.

just my opinion on speeding.
0-10ks over the limit leter warning you to watch your self.
10-20 ks over the limit $500 fine.
20-30ks over the limit $1000 fine.
over 30ks over limit $1000 fine and 12months loss of licence.
that would soon slow you down wouldnt it ?new job coming so no fraser this time:-((

queensland is good, they have these signs they put out with the camera car saying "Speed camera in Use" to warn you and act as a deterent, pity the signs are always placed in front of the car and facing the house they are parked in front of so you don't seen the
sign until after your past the car.
Best method to avoid the ticket, just stick to the limit, seems as easy and sensible method of reducing the governments revenue from us each year.

AS Mick indicated just stop speeding.
Traffic tickets are certainly a revenue raiser for the State Governments but they are a discretionary tax. You can choose not to pay simply by not speeding.
But if everybody stopped speeding the Govt revenue would drop. Then they would find some other tax that we would not be able to get out of paying.
