I think the speed cameras were invented here in Arizona. They were put on most of the hiways and several cities have them installed. They have since been removed from all the State Hiways but most of the cities have them as great revenue producers. I know Tucson surely does. The most effective oposition they have here is the license plates are sprayed with a non-reflecting dull spray which they say works. They get your picture but not the plate number. I know I see an awful lot that have this spray on them. As far as insuarance goes,I dodged a Deer a couple of months ago and ran off on the berm, before I got back on the road I hit a single roadside marker (one of the slim ones like a steel fence post). It did $4900 damage to my 2006 Mustang. I'm glad I had the insuarance even though it is fairly costly and will probably go up now. It's still a bargain in my eyes and I will continue to have it in effect. I also have home insuarance and have NEVER (in over 50 years)had a claim against it. Would not be without it either. What I do NOT have is life insuarance. Only had it while I was employed and then only because it was always provided by the company I worked for.
That would be correct, speed cameras (like tasers and all the other illegal toys) were invented in America, imported to the UK by Blair. Oh what's that smell?....I know..it's the smell of big juicy back-handers.
The difference is here in the UK we're too soft and stupid to stick together and sue the DVLA for breach of right to privacy, so we also have ANPR.
I can see the day coming when eventually (God willing) motorists en-mass remove or obscure number plates. I've already done this several times in the last month along Reading Council's bus lanes....straight past the cameras.
(Note to RBC snoops; it wasn't in the Mazda, try harder lol.)
It's an interesting fact: a recent survey classified England as being the global leader in state cctv surveillance. Enough is enough, time these corporate bribed traitors masquerading as governments, and their town hall scum were taught the painful way how English freedom works.
