A business opportunity?

Sounds like there'll be a thriving market for counterfeit license plates soon.

After all, they can't ticket you if they can't find you. smile

I should try to apply for a job at those company whose making these speed camera. Look like they got a long list orders from Europe & America.

And look out cops: you will be replace by those machine.

.

They're already looking at seat belt infractions with red light cameras in some jurisdictions.

And the police are already are doing road patrols in some cities, scanning all license plates for wants and warrants.

There is no way in North America to test for insurance coverage at this time.

As to the claim of 'speeding soaring' in the county where they'd shut off the 150 or so speed cams, I tend to wonder whether thhe claim can be valid, given that it is the group operating the camera network that made it - and even so, we should all bear in mind that traffic tends to travel at the 'natural speed of the road' and that if more than 15% of the traffic IS speeding in a free flowing roadway, then the limits are set too low.

The solution is to raise the limits, not ticket the drivers.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the nanny-state/bureaucrats are drooling over this.

Nope, it will be "For the safety of the Children".

Who can oppose protecting our youth?

and the story goes...

I'm not really sure, why you are so surprised. How many people were defending those cameras on this forum? And practically saying, that without them there will be carnage on the roads? How many times I was called "criminal" or "jail bird" for opposing cameras, both speed and red light?

What you have here is just normal evolution of this program. And be sure that those who were defending cameras will defend this new program. They have only one mantra: "if you have nothing to hide...". So i think there will be more pressure for this type of automated ticketing as crisis will get stronger with time. And there always will be those that will meekly bowed to every government idea.

But one day they will give up everything they have to get this promised land of "safety". And they will find out that "safety" they expecting doesn't exist. But then there will be no way out from total control from "authorities".

The Cost of These Cameras

If jurisdictions have the bucks to pay 50,000 pounds, or about $75,000 a copy for each of these cameras, wouldn't it be wiser to hire a few more police officers instead. I think most people naturally are more cautious when they see a cop driving nearby.
The other thing about cameras is the fact that they don't "educate" the driving public like your local police officer can. The police officer can take into account circumstances before he/she issues you a citation. The camera can't.
I still can't figure out why appellate courts haven't banned automated enforcement.

I wonder if a couple of high power infrared LED arrays in front and on the dashboard, flashing at just the right frequencies will screw up these cameras abilities at all. At least blind it enough that it can't see who the driver is (or if he's wearing a seat belt) or the plate. As far as I know, it is not illegal to do optical "jamming".

The EU....

...has these cameras, not the USA... yet. This is another attempt at governments trying to create revenue without spending money on humans.

I don't like the idea of cameras everywhere. Any footage they take of me will be boring, as I don't do anything illegal, or that they don't like... except speak my mind.

I don't know what it is like in Europe, but in the USA local governments use cameras like these instead of hiring (or not laying off) police... then when crime goes, up they blame the other political party... and keep spending money on no bid contracts for their political contributors.

Slow take over!

Bad Plates

In Florida the kids are taking pictures of plates in parking lots and printing them on their computers. Yhey put it over their regular plates just to play with the cameras. The real owner will get a ticket in the mail and have to prove they were not there when the ticket was issued. You get in big trouble doing this if caught.
It costs the government a ot of money to buy and install the cameras and the kids only a little to beat it.

The bad guys are always one step ahead, until they get caught. But then they have a new scam.

Re: high power infrared

It would be a remedy ...for a while. Then it would become criminal offence to use infrared.

The only available remedy for this sort of nonsense is to elect the right people to local governments.

The first reported group to do this was High Schoolers in MD. They would take pictures of plates of kids and teachers they didn't like and then speed through the camera near the school.

The scheme came apart when the car in the photo didn't match the plate. A Corrola doesn't look anything like an Accord.

Who are the "right people" and what would they do differently?

The State of Oregon maintains a database of insured vehicles, and requires insurance carriers to keep it up to date. The police here can run your plate number to determine whether you have insurance.

Not easy

It's easier to identify the wrong people and replace them at election time. It's a slow, iterative process, but if you're diligent, you may eventually find the right person. After several terms, though, even the right person could become the wrong person.

The important thing is to exercise your voting responsibility diligently to remove the wrong people.

Also remember that sometimes the best politician is the one who doesn't do much while in office.

I think that this is one of those places where the old maxim applies "Anyone who wants the job should not be allowed to get it."

Wasn't it someone in the early history of the USA who said something like "Find the person who wants the job the least and vote him in?" (I stink at remembering the details of history.) sad

Excellent answer

Thanks bwarden.

I was not expecting such a well thought out answer. Most of the time, people are just opposed because their particular issue has not been taken to heart by those in office.

Cameras for Carpool lane violaters

How about cameras spotting and ticketing Carpool lane violators deep in the carpool lane?

It's high time we have nose-picking cameras. This scourge must be stopped!

Spain TV

They had a TV report on new gadget for ticketing speeders traveling through tunnels, picture of tag when you enter and another when you exit, computer determines speed based on the pictures and a ticket is mailed to the speed violators.
