A Current Affair Expose

On Friday June 22nd 2007 Channel nine’s program A Current Affair and Scott Cooper, lifted the lid on traffic police deliberately misusing their own radar equipment in order to get bogus high readings on motorists.

They showed confidential documents held by Speeding Fine Consultants pty ltd that categorically prove at long last that the police obviously consider themselves above the law by flagrantly violating legislated guidelines for radar use and further putting motorists lives in danger by also ignoring their own occupational health and safety guidelines when it comes to pulling motorists over for allegedly speeding.  One could be forgiven for wondering if they don’t care about motorists safety and lives…then what the hell is this all about?

Australian motorists wake up!

You are being conned out of over $2Billion a year and many of you are losing your licenses to dodgy police practices.  Here at Speeding Fine Consultants, Scott Cooper has been telling motorists this fact for years and now…the proof is out there.

There are several important points you need to watch out for in all radar bookings and the most important of them is police concealment.   In all cases whether it be Lidar/Laser, mobile radar or speed camera, their guidelines state that they must not be concealed.  Further those same guidelines state that the police vehicles must be fully marked police vehicles with their warning lights and overhead lights on!

Those guidelines are emplaced to give motorists early warning that they are there and we all know just how they hide behind bushes, bustops and anything handy and deliberately park their cars up driveways and around corners….
The second important point to remember is … hills and bends. They are not allowed to operate on either.

Third point is that if you are photographed by a speed camera head on, especially at night, it is illegal for them to do so.  In fact be suspicious of any front on speed camera booking and check to see if the “Camera in use” sign has been put out on the opposite side of the road as well as the camera side.  The reality is that just about all speed cameras are set up to shoot you from behind only.  In that mode they will photograph vehicles coming from the opposite direction if they break the radar beam but it will be a false and erroneous reading if the camera has not been set up correctly to photograph both oncoming and departing traffic.

Speeding Fine Consultants hold all guidelines, manuals and confidential documents the police do not want you to see and uses them in court to help defend motorists.  It is not enough to know that the police are breaking the rules if you take the matter to court, you actually have to present the documents as part of the evidentiary process.

The best advice we can give motorists is to carry a camera and a small  tape recorder in your vehicle at all times and if you get pulled up…use them straightaway.  Photograph the police and where  they have their vehicle parked and tape record the conversation just the same as they do to you  without asking your permission to do so.

At speeding Fine Consultants we are dedicated to bringing a corrupt and biased system of abusing motorists and using them as a revenue raising cash cow back to an even playing field and now that the evidence is out there that the police are not playing by the rules, its about time the motorists of Australia started lobbying their politicians to bring them into line.

The next time you see some high ranking policeman on television stating that “If you don’t speed you wont get booked.” It may be as well to remember that they are deliberately misusing radar detection equipment to get high readings that motorists were definitely not doing.

If you still think the game is fair dinkum then consider that at the back of every police manual there is a poetic statement that if it were not so serious…it would make you cry.  That statement is-

“Radar must not be used at any location or in a mode that would give rise to legitimate adverse criticism or a complaint that radar is a means of raising government revenue”…..
