No Car Will Escape This "Future Now" Speed Camera

Most americans welcome this. They know that speeders are (along with
drunk drivers) a bigger threat to them than all other criminals put
together. Time to stop coddling these killers.

No Car Will Escape This "Future Now" Speed Cam
By Ben Popken on November 1, 2011 4:00 PM 0 views Most photo radar
systems can't keep track of more than one car at a time. But the
descriptively-named "Cordon multi-target Photo Radar System" can. If
these bad boys get deployed across America, people who pride
themselves on their speeding skills better cool their jets.

The device is able to generate both a wide-angle image and a close-up
of the car's license plate, keeping track of up to 32 cars across four
lanes of traffic. The camera tracks each car's license plate and shows
how fast they're going, showing green for below the speed limit,
yellow for within appropriate speed ranges, and red for speed racers.

It's about as big as a large video projector and can be mounted in a
variety of locations, like a tripod or a road-sign, which makes them
harder for motorists to spot.

The device's video and website didn't clarify how the license plates
would be correlated to individual drivers, as their faces were not
discernible in the video. In some municipalities you can't give a
ticket to a car, you have to give it to the driver. Without additional
verification it would be hard for these tickets to stand up in court
as they would have to prove you were the driver of the car at the time
the image was taken.

You have a little bit of time to train yourself to be a slower driver
- minding the speed limit and leaving yourself enough travel time so
that speeding isn't necessary - as the distributor won't start selling
them in the US until the beginning of 2012. Here's a video showing the
device in action:

Interesting item. Apparently, the system is not using radar but perhaps a
technique that tracks the target speed by the simple method of speed=time
divided by distance. From what I saw on the video, license plate numbers
were difficult to read, and I could see not one face.

Hell, a good nail in the cable does wonders too.

Wondering what they're going to do 20 years from now when cars don't
even HAVE drivers, but drive themselves. With robot drivers, there
would be no reason to be going slow, the highways would be more
efficient at, say, 150 mph, the cars would be driving so close
together you wouldn't get a glimpse of the license plate either,
and... what is the gov't ever going to do if it is deprived of its
highway robbery cash stream...

If they change the law so that the 'registered owner' has to pay a *tax*
for exceeding a certain speed on any public highway in the State they can
easily collect and the tax will be very hard to challenge.

We need laws that say the person who owns the car is responsible along
with the driver.

No we don't. Speak for yourself, you filthy septic.

The biggest threat is highway vigilanties like you, you drunken slut.

Hopefully they set one up in that school zone you go flying through

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5
years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in
cause i was sure he was lying. No way the SL on this wide open
stretch could be 25, i thought."

Want to save money? Then get the speeders off the roads and watch
your insurance premiums go from $1000 a year to $400.

A flaming tire should still be able to break it.

12 Gauge shotguns work well, too, as well as spray paint, muriatic acid,
eggs, Ducktape, sandpaper on the lenses!
