In Preston they were trying some new digital cameras. They were only in place a couple of days and the local paper said about them being a new technology, first in country etc.

They were then pinched. It was alleged that it was for the geeks to develop detection methods.

Gatso's are generally placed for revenue generation. However, 90% I see are in plain view and if you get caught by one of these you deserve to be done simply as a result of your poor observation.

I would much rather return to traffic coppers who can enforce all road laws, that a gatso with no discretion of about speed

Remember, speed kills!

No licence, no insurance, blind as a bat, can't read english, bald tyres... all fine. But 31mph and you're in bother!

I can see why the speed cameras are vandalized but not the red light ones. Having been a victim of a red light crosser in the past, I think they are well worth having.

I can't understand why anyone would cross a red light to start with other than being asleep or retarded.
