Speed cam van operators- would you sink that low?

MD · 10th June 2012, 10:04

Driving back from Manfeild last night I got snapped near the Police College. Some non-human Van operator hiding somewhere among the bushes in the medium grass section between the north and south lanes.

That didn't bother me much but it got me thinking how low must someone sink in life's peeking order to become a speed camera operator. I mean are they lower than politicians and criminals?

And while I'm at it, the night flash is damn dangerous. My whole world flashed bright ORANGE out of no where. Lit up the car interior like a super nova. Had we been nuked? Was the world exploding, volcano maybe?
No just some scum sucking prat in a Van hiding behind a bush pinching cash from people driving safely at 115kph on a lightly populated 3 lane straight section of motorway.

Go work in Syria if you really feel like saving lives you areshole.

I don't put scam operators quite as low as politicians, but they're down there.
Scams should be left to the Nigerians!

Were you breaking the law? You'd likely moan and bitch if he was on the dole, at least he's earning a living eh.

While speed revenue gatherers are pretty low, there is one class of society that ranks lower; parking wardens.

You mean to say that people still actually drive at 115km/h on urban motorways these days?

Strangely enough I don't have a problem with either speed camera operators or parking wardens but then I haven't been stupid enough to be ticketed by either of them

haha its not dissimilar from the dole. the dole getters get paid with our tax money, the camera operator gets paid with the rest of our money (neither produce much for us in return)

and then theres us students, well we earn our student loan money... I'm nearly sure of it..

hehe, when your in dunedin next go have a quick park in town somewhere - they'll get ya! I think its the dunedin city councils biggest revenue. I stopped to let Ella out of the car to work, in a bus stop, no buses around or anyone around.. before ella had opened the door a parking warden on his wee scooter was behind me taking a photo and later I got a ticket in the mail for stopping in a bus stop.

damn him, still - they look so gay on their scooters you just feel sorry for them (and sometimes you yell wanker as you go past)
