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?
Did the owner leave the key in it while he went in to pay for the
fill-up?

We have new stop light cameras in NY. $50 fine if you blow through a
light- but no points on your license, so in essence they are handling it
like a parking fine that goes against the owner of the vehicle. I think
it's a bad trend that will eventually backfire.


The great camera cull has begun.

France, Italy, Poland, UK: Speed Cameras Burned, Painted, Pelted
Vigilantes use a variety of methods to disable speed cameras in England,
France, Italy and Poland.

Vigilantes set fire to a speed camera in Cheshire, England on Monday around
2:45am. Gasoline-filled tires were placed around the automated ticketing
machine located on Newcastle Road in Shavington, the Crewe and Nantwich
Guardian reported.

A pair of speed cameras in Loucelles, France were taken out of action on
October 21. Vigilantes covered the devices on the 2X2 with black paint,
ensuring that they would not issue any tickets. Vigilantes have targeted the
same cameras since they were installed, Ouest France reported.

In Toulouse, a team of four vigilantes disabled a speed camera last Sunday
by clubbing it. The device is located between Sesquieres and Sept-Deniers.
Police have identified suspects, La Depeche reported.

A speed camera pole in Kedzierzyn-Kozle, Poland remains idle after a
vigilante spraypainted the device six months ago. The device is located on
John Paul II Street, Nowa Trybuna Opolska reported.

In Collagna, Italy, vigilantes spraypainted and smashed the lens of a speed
camera located on the SS63 on Thursday, Il Resto del Carlino reported.
Police have no idea who may be responsible and have threatened to install a
surveillance camera to watch the speed camera.

French anti-terrorist police are hunting a "guerrilla" organisation that is
blowing up speed cameras and demanding a ransom from the State.
Police are taking seriously claims from the Nationalist Revolutionary Army
Faction (FNAR) that it is responsible for the destruction of six radar
installations on roads in the Paris region over the past six months
