Speed cameras

I used to be a speed camera operator in Victoria when in the Police. How many people get a speed camera fine in the mail and don't request a copy of the picture? Too many I think. There is a very good reason for requesting this picture as it may very well save you a fine and demerit points. For example if in the picture your vehicle is there but there is also another vehicle in the picture and there is no gap between them (in other words you can't see any road or light as they have crossed over) then write a letter explaining you will fight the ticket as there is no way knowing they can prove it was your vehicle and not the other one that was speeding, also they can't book two vehicles for the one offence.... always get the picture as you just never know what errors there are in there.....

I know what you mean.
I was fined recently, where the speed limit on a road I know had been temporarily changed.
Without blathering on about it, I thought the signage was insufficient.
So I just paid the fine and lost the points.
I didn't need the grief of fighting it.
The next week when I travelled on the exact same section of road the speed was different again.
Less than the usual limit, but more than the limit when I was booked.
I reckon I was robbed by the law.
