Camo Speedcams in Singapore

[Bend-it]

Just got sent this by my dad in Singapore... Good camouflage! Would piss you off no end though...

Imagine the uproar if it was implemented here!

[1vanvan1]

I can't really see it working here to be honest. Would be rather easy to vandalise or sumthing.

wander past and pour your unwanted 2 litre of coke in it...

"oops sorry officer...i thought it was a rubbish bin....":innocent:

It's Singapore remember, ed209 will be lurking in the bushes somewhere watching the camera bin... ;)

Shady tactics all around there policing department in Singapore.
I got $1000 dollar fine for speeding - to this day still cant work out how they got me, at the time they only had the old suzuki 550 bikes - ( compared to my GSX750J ) but in court they produced camera photos, taken from ground level???
Maybe these were around longer than this post??

[Bend-it]

$1000 fine!! Shikes!! What speed were you doing and where? In Singapore, it doesn't matter how they got the evidence... the main thing is that you were caught at that speed...

They make the NZ Highway Cops look like Mother Theresa! :)

My brother lives in Singapore and has a Ducati Monster. For fun he heads into Malaysia for rides, cops will take a bribe for speeding.
But in Singapore it is :
Number plates front and back (more of a sticker) and points off your license for speed camera fines.
Any work done on your vehicle goes into central database - when you cross border they can see all your vehicle history. Scanned as you come and go.
If they find drugs in your bloodstream, counts as possession...it really is a police state.
Citizens are very law abiding, and accept it all.

I saw those years ago... can't remember where from though, but it musta been a good 5 years...

[avgas]

They have tested these in Sandringham once. I saw it walking home from Uni a few years back.

repost :D ....

[Mr. Peanut]

10 IF "Camera" IS "In a rubbish bin" THEN GOTO 20
20 PRINT "Use a fooking Petrol Bomb"

[Sanx]

10 IF "Camera" IS "In a rubbish bin" THEN GOTO 20
20 PRINT "Use a fooking Petrol Bomb"

Erm ... programs go from one line to another anyway. "Use a fooking Petrol Bomb" would appear regardless. Much better to simply do:

10 IF "Camera" IS IN "Rubbish Bin" THEN PRINT "Use a fooking Petrol Bomb"

</GEEK>

[Guided_monkey]

OK who's being a geek then????

Aussie. Vicpol have been either testing, or using them for a while. They're used in residential areas, where speeding is really a bit of a no no.

Correct, but you shouldn't be using fucking BASIC anyway :lol:...



lda $1, "CAMERA";
lda $2, "RUBBISH BIN";
cmpeq $1, $2, $t5;
bne $t5, do;
ret;
:do
lda $a0, "USE A FOOKING PETROL BOMB";
ldiq $a0, CALL_PAL_CALLSYS;

how do you know it was walking to uni

[Mr. Peanut]

I learnt BASIC when I was 7 (Mainly because my tape drive only worked half the time, so I had to write my own games >_<), then decided motorcycles where more interesting. Put a stick in the spokes of my bike, and went of in search of hills :bye:

I didn't expect some uber geek like Tom Cornall to come along 13 years later and disassemble my joke, then recompile it into another programming language?!

Those pics aren't from Singapore, more likely Holland.

[Bend-it]

How did you figure that?

[chris]

How did you figure that?
Well, they drive on the left in Singapore and the car in the background is driving on the right. Secondly, seen the pics before, a couple of years ago.

Assembler. Smart-arse.

Anyway - surely it'd be better to load the two values into the x and y registers and compare them there, than put them both into the acculumator?

[xwhatsit]

Holy shit -- I got caught out. I thought I'd be safe here on KB!! :D

I'm actually a lost and distressed C programmer, awash in a world of learning Alpha assembly in time for my CS210 exam (yesterday morning). I don't think it went magically.

Not sure if I did load them into the accumulator, on Alpha the registers are called odd things. Like $t0, or $26.

Once you get past the steep issue of bizarre syntax, C is actually quite like assembler, which is comforting.

You're right. Using assembler to an uber-geek is like some people use Latin here on KB -- to win a pissing contest. It's not hard to win a pissing contest against BASIC, though -- even Pascal would suffice.
