“Last week, police in Victoria, Australia revised speed camera policies to restore use of hidden speed trap cameras in the name of officer safety. Under previous rules, speed cameras were meant to be clearly visible so that motorists would slow down, achieving the stated goal of the automated enforcement program. The new policy allows the mobile road speed camera operator (MRSCO) to hide behind signs or trees in the name of hiding from angry motorists for safety. Another change in the rules overturned a ban on placing a speed camera within 300 yards of the bottom of a hill. Fixed and mobile speed cameras in Victoria issued 1,106,773 tickets in the financial year ending June 2013.”
