‘Further to this, a report released yesterday by the Sentencing Advisory Council proved many motorists caught driving while disqualified or suspended had also committed other offences.’

They all did! How do you reckon they were disqualified or suspended in the first place. What a stupid statement.

Looking at the Photo… what is it exactly that we are meant to STOP the POLICE from doing?

FFS… I wondered what that was.

I live right near where it was set up. It was on Neapan Hwy in Cheltenham facing south just past the ped lights, past Southland. It looked just like a normal cop van without decals.

Okay – It’s a VW wagon with 2 guys in it. No gear out the front like a normal speed camera. Unlike a speed cam van, it was parked at a slight angle. This I now assume was to get a better show of the plates. Or perhaps they couldn’t park it right. Unsure the IT crap in it, but the operator had a monitor infront of him which he was watching. Perhaps just for calibrating. Unsure.

There was an unmarked 6cyl cop car (again dark blue) idling in the slip lane too. Open drivers side window – waiting for a chase signal? dunno.

Frenchie its number plate recognition not photography. The registration numbers are automatically recorded and match to records.
Many traffic cops in the UK have cameras on the rear of their roofs with an interior display that immediately lets then know when a suspect car is matched. Love it, lets get the crooks and nonpayers off the road. It’s a fair system that does not allow interpretation of a cop, blck and white law really. Roll it out.

To clarify the “other” 3 car accident was on the way home tonight. that’s 2 x 3 car tail enders in one afternoon within a couple of km’s.

They were out in force in Broadmeadows today and boy did they have a cache of cars parked on the side of the road. A god 10 cars parked. Quite a queue of traffic.

On the way back some muppet ran up the back of another car waiting in traffic, forcing it into a third, 100m short of the 3 police cars. Incredible. Victorians and traffic always means accidents. Saw another 3 car accident (the usual nose to tail to nose) in traffic again.

If we all drove Volvos with that crash avoidance City Safety thingy Victorian Police would have nothing to do anymore!

Soon there will be an electronic tag on your vehicle instead of a registration sticker.

What if the photo shows the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence and number plate?

It was my Twin?
