    Literal for profit cameras?

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8975...camera-network

    Saw that article today, I imagine if it was run by a corporate, they would have lots of cameras just after or before where the speed changes from 100 to 50 to get maximum profit.

    Even better, make it a public company.

    Invest.
    Speed.
    Get dividend.

    Free speeding!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    A private company should be paid on the basis of real KPI's - not number of tickets issued but annual fatalities due to excessive speed or similar. Let's see how many private companies are interested in such an arrangement - government has such confidence in its message that speed kills, I wonder if profit-motivated businesses agree.

    Bugger off. The current mantra is private/public setups. Public gets the costs and private gets the profit Ala Serco.

    True, and then the Gubbermint still got $8 million in costs plus fines when they had to step in and sort things out.

    But for the government that is too hard, they will go with the easiest option which will be the government gets royalties on all tickets given. Imagine the fun if they got to set their own ticket prices too. Also imagine the reports on how they plan to increase profits year on year.

    Did anyone notice this...

    The briefing document noted the review provided an opportunity to explore how the safety network could be integrated into intelligent transport systems, such as those used on the Wellington Smart Motorway and Auckland's Waterview Tunnel.

    Change that to "revenue network" and you have the truth.

    And of course the AA are onboard with it.

    Well this raises some interesting issues....

    Safety of the camera operator... even tho at the moment cameras are operated by some civilians, the perception is that mostly they are cops doing overtime and if a nutter were to vent their frustration the repercussions for the offender would be swift and heavy. But if its some spotty McDonalds style worker on minimum wage they will get endless abuse. This will affect the areas in which the operators are willing to park....

    Testimony in court for higher recorded speeds will be less reputable than that of a police officer. The plus for bikers though is in the instance when you get ticketed going other way by them manually reecording your plate you wont get demerits as not an officer issuing the offence.
    And there must be legal issues of sorts that would need sorting....

    Kinfa for it tho, makes sense to have experienced cops off doing 'real police work' as we all like to call it, catching burglars and bike thieves etc.......

    Would they operate onn stat holidays? they are not an essential service....

    Not necessarily:
    These included the fact that the level of resources required to run the network diverted resources away from other road policing priorities.

    Depends who's defining "essential". They are to the political vote buying machine.

    while i accept there is a huge stack of dickheads out there, i find it sad that either you so-little trust your brother man, and/or how you idolise "the police"

    not an officer issuing the offence.
    a) do you even know how many sworn officers there are vs, the rest of the bob?
    b) any cunt, can issue any cunt any notice, of any shit.

    Kinfa for it tho, makes sense to have experienced cops off doing 'real police work' as we all like to call it, catching burglars and bike thieves etc.......
    a method proven to work since/// white, what?
