Sounds like the old system that was once used here before they dumped it because the police had quotas.

Would watch out for that where you are.

@DeWayfarer The system here works pretty well in the major cities (which is where most of the population live) The police have subcontracted the speed cameras and dont get involved in most of the fines themselves (Being a speed camera operator is a thankless job, like dog catcher) But 95% of people obey speed limits..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman they didn't have cameras back then when they dumped it. Just the old radar scanners.
