Re: Mobile Speed Cameras
You can bet there would be some course that you would have to do and then they would give you a certificate to be able to issue fines much like a parking inspector?
The brown bombers are just council employees down here, and they don't even issue tickets any more (must've got sick of arguing with people on the footpaths); they now carry a digital camera, take your car's picture and the fine is sent out through the infringement processing bureau...
In fact, I think that even the infringement processing bureau is no longer run by the police?

Re: Mobile Speed Cameras
There certainly is a course, its called SEINS course. I mean no disrespect to people that issue infringements as part of their job but a monkey can pass the course seriously its the biggest joke out there...
You are correct the IPB(Infringement Processing Bureau) is no longer run by the Police, it hasn't been for at least the past 5 years... Its merged with the SDRO(State Debt Recovery Office) which makes sense when you think about it...
The difference is some council rangers are special constables, giving them alot more authority than the average security officer who issues tickets as part of his/her job.

Re: Mobile Speed Cameras
wont make any difference, they are using a std CCTV camera to verify what the 11mp digital camera sees...the IR lED's will only be a very slight red tinge to the vid cam!citabria wrote:Thats it, im going out to buy 1,000 high intensity IR LEDs to put around my numberplate
They will be using Redflex K band radar units shooting from the rear of the Territory!

The police have given up trying to put 750 police on the rail system and replace the transit officer
Transit Security will be still around to give you grief if you don't have a train ticket

Re: Mobile Speed Cameras
The HWP / speed camera "police" needed to lift their visibility to the travelling public so maybe the new system is way overdue
I even saw an highway patrol car sitting in the dark under a bridge overpass on the M4 somewhere around St Marys eastbound last night.
Needless to say that I was traveling at the legal limit

Re: Mobile Speed Cameras
yeah, you will find people will not speed if there is more police on the road! look at the hume to canberra, people dont speed as they know there is alot of cops!
Spend money on more police..not stupid speed cameras!
Victoria road toll has gone up since they introduced mobile speed cameras!
