In New South Wales Australia we have had speed cameras for many years
but recently "they" have been installing these multi function cameras
in place of what used to be simple Red Light cameras.

Most of the old speed cameras already have seperate picture cameras
mounted away and higher to catch vandals.

"They" are talking of introducing "avaerge speed" cameras on some
country roads to catch you if your journey time is too quick.

The problem here being that the driver is charged not the vehicle
owner. Until the owner is held responsible for the operation of his
vehicle we will never have photo enforcement that will stand up in
court.



Even if it's a stolen vehicle?
