I had a news item sent to me from Australia.
Apparently 4 guys approached a speed camera van. Three of them distracted the operator by showing real interest in the kit and asking sensible questions about it, which the operator was very happy to answer. In the meantime, the 4th guy had very quietly and gently unscrewed the front number plate from the van. They then placed it on their van, which was parked some way away and drove past the cash-camera van over 20 times each time in excess of the limit. 20+ tickets were then issued to the owners of the van - the Cash-Camera organisation!
Not that anyone would advocate doing that here, of course :roll:

Do scameraships have a policy of not recruiting convicted speeders? If not, then I wonder what an FOI would yield about how many of these convicted criminal menaces they have working for them. How many of their employees do you think have been done whilst working for them?

What do we seriously think would happen to NIPs generated by a pratnership against its own vehicle, do we really think they would even get as far as wasting ink and paper printing them out?

Above reproach? Not bloody likely!

Wouldn't the scam pics show a Holden (or something similar) driving past, rather then a van?
