Ok so I know there’s laws saying police can not generally use technology that’s not readily available to the public. For example police were using helicopters with heat detecting cameras to find grow operations very easily. The courts said this was illegal because the technology was to advanced and not available to the public. Well the public can’t buy speed cameras and I can’t understand using them for surveillance but to actually use them to enforce speeding tickets seems like it falls into the same category as the heat seeking Equipment… could someone please explain the justification for this?
I can understand using them for surveillance purposes but to use them as the sole purpose to enforce a traffic ticket it how is this available to the public?
No, the use of thermal imaging to find grow operations in general is not legal… the technology is not readily available to the public… I got the case brief where the courts decided this.
Tenth Circuit Says Thermal Imaging Is a Search, Contrary to Other Circuits,"
So they would need a warrant to conduct a search.
I guess the logic is that if your using technology thats not readily available to the public you need a warrant. The public doesn’t have speed cameras why wouldn’t they need a warrant to use a camera as a sole basis to formally charge someone.
Red light cameras, speed traps, DUI checkpoints, some local drivers said they’ll never get a ticket for any of them again. They say, it’s because of special tracking on their GPS.
I live in Iowa. My city has recently added those lovely speed cameras. I fear that I may be getting a few in the mail. Is there a way to see if there’s a ticket on its way to me? Do the tickets go on my record, in that they affect my insurance rates? Are they mailed out for even minor violations, say under 5 mph over?

I have a Navman S50 and although it has most of the speed cameras and traffic cameras on the map not all are programmed in. Is there any software which allows you to edit the map and possibly add speed cameras? Also, I live in a new housing estate and currently my sat nav cannot recognise where I live, is it possible to add roads and post codes as well?
Just curious to know how the updates on Road Angel products actually work. Do they rely simply on people submitting new data, or is there some sort of registry system/database that local councils must use when implementing new speed cameras?
You know on your quota (cough cough) I mean performance standards?
I’ve heard a lot of cops opinions on these speed cameras, never once have I heard one oppose the concept.
Why are cops deeply in love with speed cameras?
Don’t gas me up with that they make the roads safer crap, I like running on E.
For every subjective study showing they make roads safer, I could show you one saying they cause more accidents. The statistics can be skewed to say whatever you want.
You know the lines on the roads that determine your speed with speed cameras?
Well say somebody overtook me by one of these lines on the opposite side of the road and the camera took the pic.
Would the picture be of me or the speeding car on the opposite side of the road?
In Australia (dont know if its different or the same in other countries), how do speed cameras work? do they measure the speed only once? is it accurate and what is the range or distance from the camera when you are measured?
If there is a Police car at the side of the road are they with speed cameras? Or do u only get the cameras in speed vans?
Also is there a site u can log on to see were cameras are that day?
