They Can't Be Serious?!?!?!

People can only be milked so much before they will riot

[ctjet]

people wont riot... everybody in Australia has the "roll with the punches" attitude about life

So if I was to ride around on a Harley with its 20000000dB exhaust, and getting caught, can I spit in their face and ride off knowing they have no right to fine me since it "came like this from the factory"?

See how this just isn't gonna work?

Valid point... although one Harley will fall under the required decibel limit, 20 or so cruising past is a different story... an issue I’ve discussed wit a few of the guys at my work (I work for Harley-Davidson Australia). Well some of the older models might not fall within the required sound limit, the new ones do however.

It is definitely a system that could be abused if it was to be implemented and nothing more than a desperate bid for the govt to line their pockets with more of our hard earned cash for no reason. There seems to be no supporting evidence that this would in anyway prevent or reduce road fatalities or road rage. There is no supporting evidence for that matter that noise would in anyway contribute to above excitable levels of emissions.

I hope this never comes into fruition, it’s a farce and a massive joke.

so feel like quitting work and making my job destroying all govt money generating camera's hahaha theyd get owned!

If this happens, I reckon we should just go buy a whole bunch of cheap-shit speakers from Jaycar and aim them at the sound meters.

If the system pings every motorist that passes (or even when no vehicle passes) then the government isn't going to be able to issue the the infringements.

Just get gear cheap enough that you're not going to care about losing it when the uniformed tax collectors inevitably come and take it away.

well obviously this camera wont work during peak hour >_> for 1 theres about 300 thousand cars on the road at once. 2. theyll run out of tickets in about the first 5 mins of peak hr. 3. ive got spare speakers... someone give me a cheap dvd player and ill hook it up outside one of these cameras.

ill even design a solar panel for my speakers so it cna last through out the day >_>

next thing u know theyll ban winding ur windows down because possibly hazardous projectiles could hit u and cause u to crash... or force u to buy govt issue cars of 1 vehicle and make every single person in australia to drive the same damed vehical....

In a situation where a road may be two, three or more lanes wide, where there will often be cars travelling next to each other, how exactly will this camera distiguish which car the sound is coming from?

[Trust33]

That is most likely one of the cameras which detect stolen/unregistered cars

There is such a camera.That would mean that the camera has to take the plate and file it all on it's own.Do they have such a thing?

whats to stop someone with a handheld air horn honking as every car went past...
