Cops Put the Brakes on Speed Camera Revenue

"The Victorian Police are waging war against the state government – and it’s gotten dirty. Reports have surfaced that the cops have started kicking the Government where it hurts: in the cameras. Apparently some members of the Victorian Police have taken to stopping ‘upstream’ of privately operated traffic camera vehicles or covert fixed cams, with their emergency lights activated. This has the effect of slowing down the passing traffic, greatly reducing the number of drivers who get pinged. The cops are also going slow on fundamental paperwork and legal processes."

Just shows that marked police vehicles is what the government needs in order to keep motorists adhering to the speed limit.

Prevention, it seems, is more effective than Punishment. Who would have thought??

Welcome to 2 Weeks ago...

Can't say I care to much either way haven't had a speeding fine in 5 years

[Grey]

think i got my first speeding fine the other day, not sure =[ unmarked speed camera awwwwwwwwww

i thought that's what the copper was doing!

this dodgy privateer person parks half way down a hill (which i'm sure is against some rule) and a copper has full lights blazing parking just a little back from it in the left lane.

i was thinking, cool until 2 minutes later he was in my rear view mirror having done prob 100km/hr+ to catch up to pull me over for things that weren't even wrong... hero to zero

i saw this the other day to, in a different spot. initially a unmarked camera car was there, drove past later and there was a cop with the lights on sitting behind it.

i was thinking "they arent going to get anyone with that technique haha.

[SS8_Gohan]

[Sunkist]

Good question. The article I have linked was published just last week and I've only seen one cop doing it so far.

That I don't agree with. I don't want to be run down by a drunk driver that might have been caught by a breath test.

Think you'll find the cop was part of the operation...they're not waging war against each other, only the speed cameras.

Of course Knox TMU will be as reliable as ever in raising revenue...doubt you'll see any of them warning people of speed cameras.
