Recently a number of cameras around Bucks have been covered up with orange bags saying "NOT IN USE". Does anyone know why?

No idea? but i've spotted a couple dotted about.
Anyone read the article in the mail about the scameras in london? Apparently each £60 fine from a camera should cost £37 leaving them a nice profit. At the minute it costing £56 to process cos they're no good at their jobs. I just wonder how long til the fines go up!

Had various new cameras in south Beds that were covered (some for 6 months!) cause they had power supply problems .
Unfortunately most are now uncovered and due to start working soon

But surely they'll still convince motorist to slow down...

Ooops - the secrets out!

Perhaps I should do some speed measuring of my own to see if speeds change now the cameras are inactive...
