Speed Camera Fines

[Auld Bassoon]

Rubbish. They are calibrated once a year by experts and checked before and after use for accuracy by the operator. I can't see how this is a problem. If it is accurate at the start of the shift and at the end of the shift, there should be no issue.

Perhaps a bit different (although I suspect not), I've used marine radars for quite some years, at least until the early '90s, and once calibrated they did tend to stay that way. In a way, it's akin to setting a radio receiver; once set, it stays set, except with a radar it's both an emitter and a receiver, but the basic argument applies.

I have no argument about their use in principle, but I do object to their placement in some cases.

I thought we were talking about operated speed cameras. Not fixed. If fixed cameras are only looked at once a year, I'm with you.

If you guys want to talk about real Radars, lasers, etc etc just yell out. 2megawatt is a decent size to begin with and lasers around 5 megawatt, other stuff is just toying with it...
