Default Re: My theory for speed cameras; Part 1!

As a recent transgressor of the said polaroid machine , I will cop the $133 on the chin ,pay it and move on . I did have a rant on another thread rightly or wrongly.
The issue for me is , a polaroid is a snapshot in time ,what happens before or after that point is anyones guess . The undisguised cameras ( fixed) in NSW at blackspots work for my way of thinking . You know its there,you slow if speeding and pass through the problem area , ( if it is a blackspot ? ) . The hidden ones or hard to identify ones to me, only serve the purpose of catching people out. Now habitual speeders will eventually lose their licence . What about speeding intoxicated drivers ? How is it best to eradicate them of the road ?
Think about this - if you owned the Police Force as a Company . You have the choice of paying a Officer at 60 k a year , run a Highway Patrol Car ,and he has to pay for himself via fines which is your Companies income , or buy some covert speed cameras which can be placed strategically by one or two officers . A one of Cap EX to buy the cameras , depreciate them over time, and pay two salaries . Which Business model would be more successful for your Company? I'll take the cameras please . ..
