Default Red light cameras

Not sure this is a national thing, but down in Poole and Bournemouth the sneaky ****ers have modified a lot of the red light cameras, so they also do you on green

We have a bike night on the quay on Tuesdays, and there are 2 sets of them in and out of Poole. I believe they have caught a **** load of them where it changes from 50 to 30

****s.

Total ****s.

Oh, they did put a small pink sticker on the cameras for about a week.

****s.

It's slowly happening, but I firmly believe in years to come, speeding will be completely stopped.

Stupid stupid ****ers.

Sounds sensible to me, surely you don't want people speeding through signal junctions?

What I don't agree with, is the sneaky underhand way they go about it.

Nobody locally is aware of it.

And secondly, I think all this nanny shit is rubbish. There have been no accidents there to my knowledge, in numbers of years. While it's good to be proactive, there is no reason or evidence to support it.

The bunch of ****s are just out to trick and deceive people.

I rarely swear this much in posts, but this angers me on a lot of levels. It's a summary of all that's wrong with this bloody shite country.

They have to have some form of evidence of accidents in the vicinity to install speed cameras. Might be worth finding out.

No evidence at all. It just says they are being proactive.

Also says its a Home Office approved thing! Could be coming to a camera near you

And does it not need to be rigstered as a speed camera. Does the local authority or highways agency have a database?

Other annoying thing is, that on the same stretch of road (holes bay which runs around Poole bay) they very regularly have the scamera van parked after the crest of the bend.

So you could get arse ****ed twice within half a mile.

Grrrrrrrrrr.
