World wide, it's about the revenue.
Once again, those in the profit stream behind automated traffic enforcement are caught with either sloppy use of the equipment or outright setting it up to generate more tickets. http://www.pistonheads.com/speed/def...p?storyId=9689 GATSOS OVER-READ YOUR SPEED Gatso-based evidence could be responsible for convicting thousands of innocent motorists, according to research by David Edgar, a retired electronics engineer and former professional inventor. The Gatso speed cameras he has investigated over-estimated motorists' speed by up to 25 per cent because the time between the two flash photography images, which constitutes legal evidence on which prosecution is based, was much longer than specified. <...> After receiving his summons, Edgar became suspicious of the accuracy of the Gatso-based evidence and developed a laser aligned, optically triggered digital timer that measures to an accuracy within 1/100th of a second the time lapse between the two flashes produced by a Gatso speed camera. <...> Having tested the opto-digital timer on a number of Gatso speed camera sites including Newtown Birmingham, Walsall and Cannock area, Edgar soon discovered that well over 80 per cent of them were inaccurate. In particular, there were serious timing errors between the two flashes which are supposed to flash at exactly half a second (500 milliseconds) apart. <...> Having now investigated and researched the Gatso method of speed camera entrapment the police and CPS are relying on Mr Edgar said . I have also discovered some other disturbing facts that affect the accuracy and reliability of the entire measuring system, these will be brought to the attention of the Birmingham Magistrates Court on Thursday 13 January 2005, come along it should be an interesting day in court.. Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign commented, "If Mr Edgar's claims are proven then almost everyone convicted by a Gatso speed camera will be able to apply to have their case reopened. I have spoken to Mr Edgar and his extensive research seems unequivocal." |

prison sentences they deserve. |

No, target those driving dangerously. In my NT we have no open road speed limit signalled by (///) sign, but stupid driving, dangerous driving and 'lunatic speeds' come under police notice. I'd like to see you here Judy - I'd like to see 'what speed or speeds' you'd drive at in this wide open and remote land. Come on down - we want your money. |

No, you're the world's biggest moron. That you are incapable of noting
that is proof of that. |
