They booked me for 67 in 50 but read there radar only said 66 , there is no way i was doing that speed i was in second gear accelerating but was back down to limit before they were on corner i had a turboed silvia up my arse that accelerated up behind me as the cops came around corner. The silvia did bolt hid in side street i was just driving along honeysuckle drive cops pulled me up said they had got me at 67 in 50 zone .Does anyone know what laws are on the cameras on side of car, arnt they only supposed to be used in rural areas not city build up areas especially not on a corner.

Before you go any further just be clear with yourself that you weren't speeding. Now Radar and lazer ARE NOT INFALLABLE as the cops want you to think. Other cars nearby especially at night, signs , distance away from their speed recording device.You can find some helpful things on the web on how they work etc. If you want to fight it I put my son onto Mark Stenburg at Hornsby. He specialises in this stuff.

http://www.policespeedcameras.info/news_nsw1.html#eagle my mate found this site for me. Definatly fighting this one all way cause even details on ticket are false they wrote.

The speed cameras & especially the car mounted cameras are so inaccurate its not funny. I saw a story on the news a while back about the mounted cams. The cops use them even though they know they're inaccurate.

Check these out -

A radar expert claims the Silver Eagle Radar in use in Australia make mistakes 60% of the time.

Quote

ACA show video footage of the Silver Eagle Radar system being used in a questionable manner by police in the metro area in NSW. The trouble is that the Silver Eagle system is only suitable for straight stretches on country roads.

Quote

The case revolved around the integrity of a mathematical MD5 algorithm published on each picture and used as a security measure to prove pictures have not been doctored after they have been taken.

Mr Miralis argued that the RTA had to prove the algorithm it used was accurate and could not be tampered with. He said: "It is our understanding that since speed cameras were introduced approximately 15 years ago on NSW roads, not one single speed camera photograph has been capable of proving an offence."

Look at it this way , if you are prepared to fight it you will get off but it will cost you heaps of money .

The cops will lie in court , they will say you were the only car within 200 mts and will stick to their story under cross examination , i can assure you of that .

Silver eagle readings should only be taken if there is no other car within 200 mtrs of the target vehicle ! They must track the target vehicle for a minimum of 3 seconds and have a clear uninterupted doble tone as well .( almost impossible in a built up area ).

Laser guns can be used ( and they are ) everywhere as they point it on you .

If you deside to fight it and you need a radar expert p.m. and i'll put you on to him , you will need a lawyer as well .

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
