    Big Brother was hoggin the couch last night with Big Girlfriend. Soon to be many little Big Brother floating around. *Cue Twilight zone music*
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    'Big brother' is watching you, for lack of a better understood explanation. There is an agenda being followed that will end up in a New One World Order, where there will be only one form of identification, one currency, one religion, one government, and one leader! We have the technology, the scene is being set now, and Israel is the golden key!
    Is that right?
    So when are you moving to Montana to live in a bunker with like minded souls?

    It's not really secret squirrel. I know people that know things and I listen.

    Then again, I may not be the non-bike owning Lou Girardin who lives on the Shore.

    Just remember those people that were subjected to hardcore treatment with LSD and electro shock therapy in the 50's 60's for psychotic behaviour.

    It was only a matter of time before this stuff hit NZ. As owners of bikes that most of us paid a lot of money for, I can't see much of an argument against a system that makes it easier to track stolen vehicles. Tracking speeding vehicles? Well then we all go silent...

    But just like every bit of "crime-fighting" technology, there is or soon will be a method to circumvent or interfere with it. Radar detectors weren't developed for the civilian market because drivers wanted to know when the military were spying on them.

    I appreciate not everyone is up to going the full monty and whipping off the plate, or flipping it up. Has anyone considered running a non-prescribed plate? Would one that is subtley(sp) different but still quite similar to the naked eye be enough to fool the software??

    Makes no difference to speeding . As far as a runner goes,if the gizmo can read your plate, the cop could read it now.

    As for speed cameras, all it can do is replace the hordes of people who, at present, peer at the photos and read the plate, then manually process the fine.

    BUT - big but. At present with a speed camera shot, you get off if there is more than one vehicle in the picture. How is the gizmo going to handle that ?

    If the range of these things is farther than the human eye, it's gonna make that split second decision to run or not much harder...anyone know about the range?

    As I understand it, it focuses on one vehicle.

    Nah, don't need tatoos. When you take your dog in for it's micro-chip implant they will zap one into you too............

    But don't laugh, it's only another small step from your ID (driver's license) card that you are obliged to carry.

    Their range will be equal to whatever lense is put on the unit. Could be reading plates accurately at more than 250m or something.
