[twotyred]

sickening and yes of course it will come to our little cell-corner

[Bren]

I have mixed feelings...it might make the roads safer, but it is too much of a "Big Brother" thing

[Ocean1]

It's here, under trial as we type.

Get used to it.

In this country isnt there a law that says television type displays must not be visible from the drivers seat? I know a guy I work with who'se Jap import has a navigation display has to have the display folded down while driving (it only shows maps of Tokyo anyway so no great loss, but...)

And so it begins...

My bikes/cars are not stolen... but have no rego, will I get fined?

it may say in the video's but my computer wont play them...

Yes. They specifically mention registration.

[Gremlin]

They even picked up a wanted person, so I would imagine it also checks registered owner details

Welcome, Big Brother. :sick:

Anything that helps to take crims off our roads sounds good to me.

[buellbabe]

"Help keep 'the crims off our roads" ?

I don't count refusal to pay exorbitant ACC levies and therefore not registering a bike as 'criminal'.

But somehow I don't think this spyware isn't gonna differentiate between the degrees of lawbreaking.

Your allowed to NOT pay it, you just aint allowed to ride it as well.
So if you don't pay it..NO CRIME...if you ride it on the road without it ....CRIME.
I got no problems with it to be honest.

[buellbabe]

Yes of course I realise that.

But my point was that there are degrees of lawbreaking and I think this technology should be aimed at the REAL crims. ya know? the ones driving stolen vehicles, or the ones with warrants for their arrest...that sort of thing.
If its gonna be used with no discretion then its not a new crime fighting weapon, its just another revenue gatherer.

Just my opinion.

Ya probably right. think it will just make the job easier in actual fact. No change for me, life goes on as usual.

So what would you do if you got pulled up in a normal situation?

[Max Preload]

But somehow I don't think this spyware isn't gonna differentiate between the degrees of lawbreaking.And to that end, the introduction of this will see further Police resources directed at inconsequential offences, away from serious ones. That is to say, they'll be so busy writing out tickets for people with no current vehicle licence or evidence of inspection that other offences will go undetected, such as removing the tolerance from speeding means they'll already be on the side of the road with a 2km/h over the limit customer as I pass by at 135km/h, talking on the cellphone and eating a burger.

[Big Dave]

Not will, when. I heard yesterday that installation is already progressing.

[bogan]

bout fucking time NZ caught up. More automation of road policing may even free up cops to make the communities safer too :whistle:

[Taz]

It will bring in a real revenue stream for the government and allow them to lay off more police due to the efficiencies of this system and to help offset the cost. They wouldn't employ this technology if it wasn't going to pay for itself.

[buellbabe]

So what would you do if you got pulled up in a normal situation?

Take my helmet off, unzip my jacket and smile :yes:

I have only been through ONE rego and warrant check in the last 5+ yrs...and BTW I never said my bike wasn't registered, it was merely a general observation.

[Big Dave]

What about these beauties:

Which is exactly what you'll do with this new technology. The camera itself doesn't hand out the fine, an officer nearby as a part of the operation is dispatched to pull you over.

"I don't see any way the priviledges this technology allows, such as being able to trace how a given individual (guilty or innocent) moves, might be abused"

Paula Rhodes, on Morning Report this morning, when asked about WoF checks, stated it would NOT be used for low level offending such as that, the "bar has been set much higher" and the cops in the cars would not have access to that part of the database*.

Yeah, Right.












*Not yet, anyway. Wait until the bugs are ironed out, and a few 'revenue projections" have been run.

[Brian d marge]

The old bill in Little River ( the old one ) has this installed

He even popped in to remind me when my Rego was up ( 3 times )

He knew where I was most of the time , even if I didn't
