Default Re: Queensland police trial new hand-held speed cameras that automatically issue tickets

There was one being tested on Hooker Boulevarde Broadbeach west bound a few weeks ago. I was east bound and saw it on the other side of the road. It was mounted on a tripod about 120cm high in shrubbery along side the road where you could only sight it on approach from about 50m away. A cop was standing out of sight further into the shrubs holding what seemed like a note pad.

"Police will reveal the TruCAM device as part of an arsenal of resources aimed at cutting the road toll...."

Can an intelligent person please explain how this or any other "speed camera" is going to cut the road toll?
