You could be right! The speed cameras I mentioned were fixed speed camera's, not the one's mounted on the cars. I think you need to bring out your baseball bat to to persuade the tranny dude to fix the problem with your car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Did you see last night on today/tonight they had a report on mobile speed cameras being inaccurate. Have a read http://www.todaytonight.com.au/stories/791050.html Note this "The main mistake is incorrect setting up," Dr Garwoli said. "From that you have incorrect readings." "The problem is that if you have multiple targets in the beam or if you set it up incorrectly whereby you bounce it off the road or you set it up looking into a bend and many other things, then this radar fails." Dr Garwoli says the manual instructs operators to avoid metal signs, phone boxes, mail boxes, real estate signs, trains, trams, electricity transformers and even garage doors, which can cause wrong radar readings." I'd be going back to that site with a camera that auto puts the date on the photo, and if u see any of these things that could invalidate ur potential speeding ticket, photograph it! and get them developed ASAP, goto a place that develops photos, eg Big W, ask them if they print the date of development on the back (a lot of places do), that way u'll have a date on the photo, as well as a date developed on the back, that should be enough to hold up in court if u need it to. Fight them to the death if it is a suspension of licence case. Ring up the media, bitch to them, esp if u have found something that could have screwed up the reading, the media will have a field day. Also did he have his gay little blue box out the front of magna? If he did and it didnt flash ur set. If it wasnt there then u'll fine there wasnt a need for the flash, and it's hard to tell if u've been done or not, just have to wait the 10 - 14 days.
