Anti Speed Camera Voilence Grows

By Alborz Fallah |

Speed Camera’s Don’t Save Lives. All they actually do is raise revenue and increase driver stress and frustration. Some drivers however, have had about enough.

In the UK and Australia Anti-Camera Violence is on the rise. Last week a third letter bomb was sent to the UK agency that issues speed camera penalty points, whilst here in Melbourne more and more speed cameras are damaged by gunfire!

Two men in Melbourne were seen yesterday at 11:45pm shooting a speed camera in Blackburn North with a pistol. The attack broke the device’s lens, but did not penetrate further and do any damage to the electronics. Melbourne Police failed to find the individuals despite searching with a helicopter and dogs. The Criminal Investigation Unit will now consider anyone who received a red light camera ticket as a suspect!

A tip for fellow Speed Camera haters: don’t go shooting them right after you get a ticket! More importantly, read why speed camera’s don’t save lives.

    Next time I think they should try a bigger gun…but I still give them an ‘A’ for effort.

    Democracy is such a simple concept… put up a completely hidden camera, if more than 51% speed past it, that speed limit must be increased!

    I applaud any effort to restore democracy.

    I totally agree. Speed cameras are not used for improving accident prevention. It is FUND RAISING excersize by the government. If it wasn’t, they woouldn;t include that in the budget and they would use the money for imrpvoing road conditions.

    I was booked at the alleged speed of 70 km in a 60 zone at 7:50 pm at Wonga Park!!! I checked the point the mobile camera was set. It was ona downhill road followed by an uphill!! Is this accident prevention or fund raising?

    Moreover, drivers are consider guilty and it is upto US to prove our innocense. How??? If a are notified three weeks after the alleged speeding incident? Furthermore this is totaly contrary to the legal system of this country: You are innocent until the state proves you are guilty.

    The definition of “speeding” is that you continue driving at excessive speed over the speed limit for a considerable distance. If for a split of second you are just over the speed limit, you had it. Is this dangerous driving???

    I have never come across so much nonsence in my life. Something HAS TO BE DONE.
