Speeding Fine
Sorry, fellas, not fishing related, but there does seem to be a reasonable wealth of knowledge on here about all things great and small, so here goes:
My missus copped a multanova infringement in the post the other day...actually it was one of those rear-facing cameras...and the photos showed a motorbike/rider in the lane next to her car. The number plates of both vehicles were clearly visible. So how do we, or the cops, know which one was speeding? Do these cameras actually have the capability to define which person was doing the wrong thing or do they merely send notices out to all parties involved, and hope to get two for the price of one? I also realise that we cannot rule out the possibility that BOTH were speeding, but again, how would anybody know?
I figure there's no point in ringing the cops 'cause they'll just say that they DO have the technology to differentiate between vehicles and to just shut up and pay the fine. I'd rather look up info regarding the actual capabilities of the machine itself...an independent study, I suppose.

Your having a crack
because you made the decision not to blow in the bag, knowing that you were sober - Dom, get a grip - you got no one to blame but yourself. My understanding is if you refuse to blow and are charged with that, the penalties are equivilent to the highest drink driving charge. How is it you blame someone else for your decisions

Yeah I can see this thread lasting !
How long do you think this thread will last before its taken off ?
Auslobster, ring up the police camera section and question what is meant to occur when there is two vehicles in one photo.
cheers

why should it be taken off
im sure adam gallash understands the feelings of people so why the hell should it be taken off ..people should be allowed to express there views on just about any subject . just because it dont suit people in higher places dose not mean it should be taken off ...the truth is the truth its about time it was heard . but that another matter im with the poor bastards that cop this sort of crap every day by the law and believe me im sure theres plenty out there that have been fed unfair justice ..sorry adam about me going on about this matter i know its a fish site im just backing my fellow man in this country ..its about time people stood up for there god given rights wich seem to be taken off us every day in manys ways ps im not a sheep like alot of people in this country ...ps adam no disrespect to ur site .

G O R N !!
the new cameras have the ability to accurately detect each and every speeding individual, on an 8 lane wide road. so they can essentially take a snap shot of 8 cars in a traveling line side by side, and tell you exactly which one or ones are speeding, and by how much.
thats with the new cameras though. they are still using the old ones as well, and they are only accurate with a single vehical in the sub-frame of the photo.
which cametra took your missus's photo, i dont know. but if you can find that out, you might be in with a fighting chance.
p.s. Dom7777, you got what you deserved mate. if you werent pissed, you should have blown. from what you have said, the cops were doing exactly what they are being paid to do.

John did you actually ask ya
John did you actually ask ya mrs if she was speeding or not? If its one of them rear facing ones, i'd say shes a gonna.
Dom77777 mate, where do we start? Are you telling us the full story buddy? Do you have any prior drink driving offences? I'm all for standing up for your rights, but ive had mates who have refused to blow in the bag as they were that shitfaced and they've only copped a 3 month suspension and a $750-1000 dolar fine depending how the judge is on the day.
Now for you to have copped such a huge suspension I'm thinking youve either had prior drink driving convictions or you've stood in front of the judge and called him a c&%t and ranted on about being a sheep and hes thrown the book at you. In my opinion you got what you deserved.

holy shit....
ahhh, now i see whats going on. you weren't drunk at the time, but the kilo+ of crack that you had smoked before hand was what the boys in blue were after? micro chipping babies? WTF?
jesus christ dom, i dont like paying taxes, but we all have to do some things we dont want to do. thats the thing about law, it goes for EVERYONE, and its for the better of OUR COUNTRY. i have a right to drive home at any hour of the day, and not worry about pissed retards like yourself, running a red light and cleaning me up.
i tell you one thing, you were lucky it wasnt the dickhead police that pulled you over that day, cos they would have locked you up on the spot.
my opinion - you should have got a bigger fine. nothing to hide hey?
p.s. go get some spelling lessons dipshit.

got an interesting cd...
about what rights etc you have under the constitution.
its at this address and raised some interesting questions.
http://www.larryhannigan.com/VOC.htm
i never even got to the end of it so don't shoot the messenger but it inspired me to go get hold of the constitution and have a read to get 'the vibe of the thing'
hahaha. reckon old mate larry hannigan has an agenda BUT still good if you can filter out his opinion and take away the facts for confirmation.
sorry for the digression, just thought guys like dom might get some handy tips/knowledge perhaps.
good luck with the speeding ticket - i have been told taht the bulk of people who take it to court get off..?

Aus mate I'd protest
Aus mate I'd protest it,
Whats the worst that can happen?? they tell you it is was your missus speeding?? so you pay anyway.
From my experience when this happens they actually tear up the fine.
Ive been side by side with another car going past a speed camera a couple times recently, and none of them have flashed (and at that point i was probably speeding).
Because it was a bike next to your missus the camera may not have detected it, only sensing the car.
Worth the question if you ask me!

I'm just waiting to see if I get a speeding ticket (first in 25yrs) I was doing the same two cars heading north on North Lake Rd., can't remember if I saw a flash or not.
From what I've been told, they do have the radar units that can take two cars speeding, but don't know if this camera I went past was the newer of the cameras.
I have rung up the Police department and got through to the speeding camera section, as my eldest son drove my car, got pinged, we couldn't work out who was driving , hence I got in contact with the section concerned, sure enough the policeman said, its a handsome young man with sun glasses on. Gotcha Tony hahahaah so he had to pay the fine, just glad I didn't lose any demerit points.

sounds like your preaching dom.
Arguing for the sake of it perhaps? Its simple, if you had blown in the bag and you were sober, you would've been outta there. If you were pissed you would have copped it, but because you chose to argue it and not co-operate and abide by the law you were charged anyway. Where is the sense in that? what did it achieve other than you losing your license ?
Tell us, how would you like the coppers to detect drink drivers ? driving isn't a constitutional right so good luck with your recruitment drive...............

just stating the facts
muppett i was just stating the facts about the law its an ass stubborn as fk . one sided not overly fair and so on no need to get personel about things i believe in my rights like many thousands of us we need to make a stand before it gets real bad . its not the police im blaming its the higher ranks behind them telling them to enforce the law .im sure there are plenty of law men that dont like what they enforce but they need to live pay the rent ect ect they are merley doing what there told ...brings me back to the sheep bit ..cheers for opinion but it needs to be dropped as adam will not apreciate all this bitching .i might be wrong but its my opinion

everone always bags out the police but the police only act on the law to witch they are given to enfoce
that said the way the courts hand out pissy fines and susspended sentinces for really bads acts of crime
the day will come very soon that people will start delivering fair justice to these people just like the good ole days
way before sheep were around
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

i would suggest you just cop it sweet and pay the fine. if you take it to court and lose you then have to pay costs as well. not wirth the hassle imo.

Agree with Russ, I would
Agree with Russ, I would maybe make a phone call and see what the chances are of getting out of it, but if it meant taking it to court and challenging it, I would just cop it on the chin and pay the bloody thing. [ providing the other vehicle wasn't travelling at warp speed]
Dom,
Why the f@#k you would decline a breath test when you're not over is beyond me. Lesson learnt, yeah??
FTR, Dom, 3 years and not filled out your profile.... come on mate!!

If you watch RBT
They actually tell you before hand if you refuse to give a breath sample you will be charged and it is the same penalty as a high range drink driving charge....no excuse you reap what you sow!
