makes u wonder how many other people are unfairly fined

Plenty , anyone cought on the silver eagle radar , especialy in metro areas should ask for compo form the cops .

Silver eagle is the one in the police car with the aerial on the roofracks of the car , not as they say in SMH " radar gun " , the one the officer points at you thats a laser gun and it is DIFFERENT to silver eagle .

I got flashed by a speed camera 2 weeks ago i go down the road every day i know its there the speed limit is 60 i was going 51 k's and a big orange flash went off i havent revived a fine yet but if i do i will be appeling it.

Speed cameras are not radars , are you sure it wasn'

t a school zone ? Thats not to say that they are acurate in any way , remember what happened in victoria ?

[cowie165]

Do all cameras run off the strips embedded in the bitumen? Or are there some radar/transmitter types out there?

[wrxhoon]

All fixed cameras do .

some sort of light flashes when you drive by esecially at night BUT it's not the camera flash. just sets up the vehicle to be lit up if it is speeding.

Sensor strips in the road count one way only eg (1, 2, 3, 4) so if you are driving towards the lens side of camera you can't get done as the sensors can't count backwards and they are not allowed to photograph your face, legal reasons.

This is only what i know about NSW suburban fixed speed cameras and don't take what i say as gospel.

my cuz is a cop and the only ones that can get u face on are the infra red ones, which he was sayin have a different lense, the common flat white faced ones can only get u from behind, but the other lenses with an orangey colour and most have like a little visor on them can get u head on, in wollongong, the 2 examples are on mount ousely rd where those ones get u head on

then we have numerous other ones that are the more common type which only get u from behind, like near the beach when u head towards the lighthouse
