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.....

It never ceases to amaze me why people call speed cameras "revenue raising" devices. If everyone stuck to the speed limit, then there would be no fines and no "revenue" for the Govt. Why anyone would willingly want to pay the Govt more money is beyond my comprehesion!
It is the driver's choice if they exceed the speed limit and they cannot have any reason to complain if they get caught.
