still can't find anyone

who thinks speed cameras are a good idea.
Now that would be understandable if my world was small, but my friends, colleagues and associates are pretty diverse. Doctors, engineers, musicians, police, tv personalities, magistrates, postmen, you name it.
And I STILL haven't found anyone who thinks that cameras aren't just for the money (or indeed hasn't been done by one, or rather a sodding scamera van)
So, who are these SCPs actually asking?

Good question!
All my colleagues and friends are dead against them. I showed them all a site that shows the remains of vandalised cameras

One of my colleagues is a dedicated lifelong bible basher: prays at work, does volunteer work, wife usually on missionaries in 3rd world countries; no one has more moral fibre than him. Yet this person thought the activities reported on this site were absolutely hilarious and didn't have one bad word to say about it. In fact, no one did.
Speed cameras unanimously hated, they are also 'fair game'

Really handy. Although I think that the small cardboard box that they come in is a bit Naff! Cheap though!...... W..Whats that? Wa..What? Ah! Oh... Tha..That "Speed" camera!! right! Ah ...I'll get me coat then, right. 
Do I hate speed cameras? Not any more because they give drivers the freedom to speed most of the time. I'll explain.
I, like most people, have been "done" by a camera, and I DO hate the fact that they are just another stealth tax. However, they have replaced Bib in cars and therefor, if you know where the cameras are, or have a detection device, you have a much reduced risk of being cought speeding these days. I for one will admit to speeding on every journey I take now, which wasn't the case 15 years ago.
Do I hate cameras? Not any more, I've moved to Spain where they don't have any!

Trouble is, the scameras are replacing what good cops are actually out there, so Mr Scrotechav caqn carry on driving drunk, drugged or disqualified.
I dont mind the fact that i can speed with impunity, i do mind the fact that scum are just running free cos some peni5 head in authority thinks a scamera will make any difference to the aforementioned chavscrotes of this world.

In a similar vein, i actually like laser vans.
My diffuser works pretty much 100%, and since they are not usually in a position to stop me, if I am zapped then i just remove it for 2 weeks.
Happy days....
Where did you get quick release electric clips? and do you unscrew the diffuser or is it clamped in place?
Cheers
The question that is asked isn't 'are cameras are good thing'. The Scameraships ask if you support cameras outside schools etc...
Show me someone on PH (except Deltaf
) who would disagree with a camera sited in a real accident blackspot outside a school?
They load the questions, then hide the truth when they announce their surveys.
Are the surveys scientific? I doubt it!

Some speed cameras are good......depends on;
1) Location,
2) Location and
3) Location.

1) Education (for real road safety improvements)
2) Education (don't forget Engineering too)
3) Education (and OK, discretionary Enforcement)
