"BREATHTAKING BRAVADO FOILS SPEED CAMERA "

QC received a very amusing though naughty e-mail from a spy at the department of transport this week. Our mate informs us that four youths from Canberra recently pulled off a trick of breathtaking bravado to gain revenge on a mobile speed-camera van operating in the area.

Three of the group approached the van and distracted the operator's attention by asking a series of questions about how the equipment worked and how many cars the operator would catch in a day. Meanwhile, the fourth musketeer sneaked to the front of the van and unscrewed its number plate.

"After bidding the van operator goodbye, the friends returned home, fixed the number plate tot he car and drove through the camera's radar at high speed - 17 times," our transport spy writes. "As a result, the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets to itself.

Another one (taken from another forum)

(that is true btw, it was reported here in Canberra)

Here's another:
In Melbourne one night a group of young men gathered at a deserted suburban intersection which was equipped with an automatic red-light camera. They parked their car on the roadway across the intersection to trigger the camera, then proceeded to drop their daks and give 'brown eyes' so the whole episode was caught on film, a grisly gift I suppose for the police operators who's job it was to later inspect the many pictures

Two problems:
(1) Their car's numberplate was in full view of the camera, so police quickly traced who they were

(2) Who else did they turned out to be but ... (wait for it) ... police cadets!<hr></blockquote>
 
You guys really don't like those cameras, do you?

If they are programmed and used correctly I don't have a problem with them.

Sounds like a “POLL” question. I’ll put one together in free for all.

Here in Alabama they were recently deemed 'unconstitutional'....they can't prove who's behind the steering wheel so a repairman out for a test drive might be the culprit but the car owner would still get a ticket!
