Default Speed Camera rubbished
Check this out! Came to me via e-mail ... I don't know where these pics were sourced. There are other pics showing the camera inside the bin and the open bin being looked at by four police but they were too big to load.

why don't you send them to the relatory authorty or the news papers, that has to be so wrong. It can not be within the standards or procedures governong these things.

Heard of this before but cant remember where?
If i saw one of those bins on the side of the road id pull ova get out and boot it ova or wheel it away.
Be real funny if a garbage truck came along and picked it up and emptied it

well i got something close to this in my neighbourhood. About 20 metres away from my mates house, some guy has a setup of cameras from his front door and balcony porch. It overlooks my mates court and records everything that goes on. Theses arnt security cameras, there just your normal video recorders.



You can actuall see the cameras from a fair distant but it catches the unsuspected. Now what this guy does is report everything and anything that goes on. Most of them have been people going maybee 7km over the limit (i havnt been caught, but a few ppl have and they are not happy). Because he has a double story he can zoom into peoples backyards and windows. Im mean what kind of person does this?

Is this Illegal? Next time im up there i can get pictures to show you this guys setup. I suppose he wont mind since he is recording every1 else!!!!

Invasion of privacy the dick wit is finished..get your spray can and blackout the cameras.

Or setup a dummy and train it on his turf and then watch him scream.

Think about it.

They have been deemed illegal in most states becasue of the sly method in catching people.

There was actually a news report here in Perth a few months back, that the police were to put speed cameras in rubbish bins, and bugger me, I got an email a few days later of one situated on Albany Highway in Cannington. ( a suburb of Perth)

Does anyone know any Garbos who could help out and accidently empty one of those suckers.

But seriously that is not going to lower the road toll. MONEY RASING at its finest.

They were in new zealand. Pics are old as. I've had them for about 4 or more years. Read about it here.

In the first pic, the car is on the wrong side of the road to be taken here, or any other left side of the road driving place.
