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

The usual PR BS...
Thank you for your email regarding new speed cameras which I referred on your behalf to the office of the Minister for Police, Corrective Services and Emergency Services Hon Neil Roberts MP.

I have received the following response from the Minister's office:

"Thank you for your email regarding speed cameras.
The new technology mentioned in this article will complement existing police resources for road rule and speed limit enforcements.
The State Government’s road safety strategy consists of fixed and mobile speed cameras, specialist traffic police, high-visibility policing, upgrades to roads and road maintenance, and road safety education and awareness campaigns.
This includes an ‘anywhere, anytime’ approach to road rule enforcement. Speed cameras are not deployed to raise revenue.
With one in four road deaths in 2010 speed related, the Government will continue to do what it can to reduce speeding offences and behaviour"
