Forward facing average speed cameras

Given how weak the GPS signals are I'd imagine a sheet of aluminium foil would be more than adequate. No point carrying lead around with you.

just take it off now and then and go for an easy ride

They'll probably do it using a visibly mounted shark fin type antenna mounted on the roof of cars or the fairings of bikes, so police can see if there's anything covering it.

Actually scratch that, it'll be CCTV, road policing will have disappeared entirely through lack of funding and replacement with technology, it almost has already due to the speed camera. The government are not interested in drink driving it seems, so long as they can slow the drunk ones down.

The day they introduce GPS tracking units, will be the day a lot of normally law abiding citizens start riding around on illegal bikes that are not fitted with them and blatantly put two fingers up to the state. I'll be one of them, arrest me if you want, my house will be up for sale the next day and I'll finally be perusing that dream of a villa in the sun seriously.

surely, the police, taking it to these extremes is invasion of privacy!
I recon several coats of a metallic spray over the fin and then a few coats of whatever colour the fin was originally should do the trick... looks the same but no signal
