This is really really gay, this just makes it a lot more easier for people to lose their license and another big scam by the gov't to drain us of our money.

Well it's not really a big scam, if you look at the radar detector one, the fine actually went down.

Still most of those things listed are things that shit me off when people do them. Eg double parking or stopping on or near a crossing. People die when the view around crossings are blocked.

Also:

The 111 fixed speed cameras across NSW issue more speeding tickets and reap more revenue each year than the state's 900 highway patrol officers.

Sucked in to anyone who doesn't see the 3 massive signs before each one of these or notice all the ridiculously cautious people suddenly doing 10 km/h under the limit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no angel but some laws exist for good reason.

"Council rangers don't have the ability to detain someone and ask for their licence. How are they going to prove who was driving the car and therefore receive the points?," one highway patrol officer said.

I hate parking cops/rangers.

I bet they go home and tell their parents they're prostitutes and thats how they make a living just so their parents don't have to be ashamed of their real 'profession'.
