Speed Camera?

[T.W.R]

You can spot those van cams a mile away, and every time I go past I look inside and theres noone home. There was one in particular I took the same road back and I went slowly past and there really was no one around. (this was near Rotovegas) Just that evil little camera on it's tripod in the boot.

put your thinking cap on & consider this : the majority of people on the road know how easy it is to identify the speed camera vans & would love the opportunity to damage or sabotage one of the fuckers, so a van with thousands of dollars worth of photographic equipment that many people would love to fuck over would be left unattended, NEVER! not even the pork are that stupid.

they don't have to pay for the gear though anyway like cop himself /herself don't have to pay for it to be replaced so it doesnt concern them really

and honestly who would take the risk of stealing from what is basically a cop car it's like going into a cop car stealing thier donuts and running away you will never survive it will be your last sugary snack for a long time

The vans have a desk set up in the rear with a office type chair. Next time stop and talk to the guy in the van, ask how it works, I'm sure they would love to chat to someone.

Maybe he left the van there as some yobbo had just run past and mugged a little old lady so the copper made chase. Then caught said yobbo, gave him a beating, and sent him to jail.




Or maybe he was just out unloading all those coffees and donuts

yep your on to it, seen that a couple of times the camera man & the highway patrol cop having good old chin wags. the regular van that does the main sth is a pretty well set up unit almost looks like a private camper van ( dark green, nice wheels, tinted windows etc )

hey if your on your own all day and you can't pull people over you just sit in a van basically being driver then a security guard for a camera you need all the coffee to keep you awake and all the donuts to keep your sugar levels high and keep you in a good mood that you can get your hand on IMO

makes you wonder why they don't just park sum van that looks like a crapped out old rust bucket shove a pink sticker on it and nobody would be the wiser but no lets get a reasonably new van and tint the windows everybody expects that now...

if they want to catch the people who really speed i think they need them better disguised to have a chance of catching the dangerous people in my opinion

They have man.

There may well be riders on this very website who are acting as spys for the rozzers, building up a portfolio of evidence until one day... BAM... 2000 fixed penalty notices out in the post. Keep an eye out... it could be any of us

It is unlikely they have your number as the camera is fixed in the van. Be aware now they are putting accessories on the van to try and hid them .As if thisa will help them get more revenue

But there's nowhere at the front you could put then without it looking gay!

Well, bend over and spread 'em. Because we could all be looking gay soon, thanks to fuckwits that think they're safe from cameras.

Nah they don't unless the operator hears your debaffled pipe, realises it is a bike, sees that a photo is taken and then writes down your plate.

And the operator is usually never inside it.

I went past one of the motorway vans pulling the bird a while ago and haven't seen anything in the mail so it's bollix, yes it was over the 'trigger threshold' for it as well.

I can assure you that the motorway van is ALWAYS manned...possibly since being shot at last year the operator is not making himself so visible from the outside
and yes pictures are taken of motorcycles doing all sorts of things past the van and some find that the speed notice is the minor problem when the boys finally catch up with them...
ps do you want to call into the office and view the pics to see which ones you appear in???

Enjoy your riding and freedom and dont give the politicans more fuel for front plates, larger plates, bar codes on ya bike ,helmet, body etc

Years ago when the very first fixed pole camera was installed for "trials" in Mairangi Bay (East Coast Rd - Nth Shore), the very first film developed provided great entertainment for the .
The ENTIRE film was of the same cage going past time and time again with lots of being shown, but no faces. The cops (at least the one who told me this) thought it was a great laugh as well since the numberplate read FUCK U

about 3yrs ago in CHCH on Marshlands rd they had a camera set-up in a wrecked car that was on the back of a truck !!! it scored heaps of victims

Been flashed twice fron the front about 3 months ago and seen nothing yet.

It would be interesting trying to mount a front plate on the Blackbird.
Only place you could mount it is forward on the guard such that it protruded beyond the front of the front guard and wheel or on the nosecone covering the ram air inlets.
