Re: However...
"Yes, they are revenue raisers but any half-way intelligent police officer would hardly find themselves in an 'untenable' situation."
I used to think that only idiots got caught speeding. Then along came aircraft spotters, laser speed radars, fixed speed radars and red-light/speed cameras. There are only two possible interpretations:
1. when the first speed cameras didn't work, they cops thought that means they need to put lots more out there, even when lots more don't work - this just goes to show cops are imbeciles.
2. when the first speed cameras didn't slow traffic, but did raise lots of money, the cops bosses thought this is a good thing, we need to put lots more out there & rip all the money we can out of those schlepps - this just goes to show cops work for lying conniving polititians.
An now we come to our present situation, where the schlepps are trying to find ways of not giving us lots and lots of money. Oh, and if you think that you just don't need to speed to avoid paying fines (I used to), In Victoria will be fined heavily for being a single kilometer over the speed limit (as measure by them, not you).
And yes, all over Australia, speed limits are being lowered progressively so it is impossible to get anywhere without speeding. The latest is 25KM in the centre of Canberra.
