Just get good at using a lassoo(sp) the u dont have to damage the car at all.

[JH32]

Or cycle past with a baseball bat and hit it on the way past

I'd love someone to do that hahahah

[Guest GR33DyMANGO]

ive always wanted to sneak up to the camera and spray paint its lens black. hehehee...

[25GTT]

I'm not going to go into too much detail but I once tried to grab memorabilia one night after a hazy night in Northbridge only to find out those "you have just passed a speed camera" signs are bloody chained... this one was chained to a lightpole...

Strcih9nine you are officially riding shotgun, as long as Judge Reinhold brings his Lasoo!

[Boostzor]

Of course, as usual, the judge would love to help. The problem with the lasoo is lack of accuracy and possible damage to the car. Speak to me at the next meet and ill tell u how to deal with em *speaks with an experienced tone*:lol:

Of course this cop bashing will be done in much more appropiate way in the future ie alluded to!!!!!!!!

oh and camera operators have to calibrate the darn thing everytime its setup, ie when the guys standing back with the gun and the remote flash operating device. they have to get cars going slower, faster and on the speed limit for the speed zone. non of these pics are used for fines.

oh and JiMiH the operator can most likely have u charged with dangerous and reckless driving if he wished.

and the cops are more than likely to believe him than u especially when can prove u turned around just to abuse him.

come on people where did u get a brain. its twits like this that give car clubs and younf drivers a bad name.

ahhh, reminds me of the time I got flashed by a speed camera at night... the infamous red flash...

The operator was standing like 8metres behind it holding a radar gun and what looked like calibrating the device.

It flashed at me...

no ticket ever made it to my letterbox... and i was PLUS 20+ over

SCORE!

same thing with me, except i saw him from far away, he was wearing the reflective yellow vest, so i slowed down to like 40 in 60 zone, he was holding the radar at me, and it flashed..

Fair enough for setup calibration must be done however he had been sitting there for quite some time. Looked as though he had made a few other people upset as i left there was people on the other side of the road wanting to talk to him aswell. I think testing should be done whilst setting up but it would be fair to the public if there was a sign saying calibration in progress or sumfin like that.... random flashes is not appropriate when it comes to safety and road concerns, i think the police and government could handle the situation a bit better, especially with the aggresion some drivers have these days! Getting flashed when not speeding is VERY annoying, i don't think some people my age will be as tolerant as i was......

****en oath - It just enrages people if they think they have been wrongly booked.

A simple sign wouldn't hurt and it would be cheap and effective.

I've been lucky, atleast 3 times I have been through a camera once doing 160 on the freeway and it flashed but was lucky, must have been testing the flash, and then twice on albany highway in cannington once doing 100 and once doing 90

but their argument would be that you deserve to be enraged even if you arent going to get done because you have been speeding....but I totally agree with you man, those 3 times I got flashed I was worried sick for ages, not a good feeling!

[PSIKO]

I agree too

you shouldn't be unnecessarily flashed if you're keeping within the elected speed limit

you aren't allowed to flash (with high-beams at people) as it's considered a hazard to peoples driving and their attention may briefly sway, causing them to crash. Whats the difference with a camera (apart from being closer) flashing you when you are in the speed limit, not breaking any laws???

I definately agree with them needing some sort of sign to say they are calibrating and you may be flashed

I just don't see why they can say one thing and get away with another that's pretty much the same

not cricket

if you get flashed and you know you weren't speeding then whats the big deal, if you were speeding and you get caught then take it on the chin and keep going.

the point is duuuuuude that if you get flashed and you weren't speeding, then you're in the right... by law it is illegal for us to flash other motorists, so therefore what right do they have to essentially flash us?

My point exactly!

Another point to be considered... I am travelling at 90km/h in a 90 zone then flash.... Being a Little old lady and not wanting to receive any more fines i start thinking that my speedo may be off... i better spend next weeks pension on getting my speedo fix becuase i was not aware that they were testing and in my old age didn't want to argue with Mr speed camera man....
