How do "Speed Camera’s" opperate?

admin — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 03:01:14 +0000

I was going through San Jose at about 77/78 mph (12/13 over in that area) with my window down and saw a bright flash behind me accompanied by a subtle "click" noise as well. My first guess was that I just got hit by a speed camera. The only thing is that my radar detector didn’t go off around the camera nor did it go off when I was past the camera as many other cars following me were getting the same flash and click. The detector I have is a Beltronics Vector 955, which if you know detectors you know it is a great piece, and it can detect all types of X, K, Ka and Laser signals so I am totally oblivious to how the camera calculated my speed. The only other thing I can think would be using gates to measure my speed but that seems way to prone to error. Anyways, if anyone knows the way the cameras opperate, I am really curious. Thanks.

Laser operation-red shift detection-slow down stop paying voulentary taxes.

How do you know if your shutter is accurate? older film cameras with leaf shutters?

Mic test is hard to do for the higher speeds like 250 or 1/500 of a second.
I cant find the laser equipment to make my own.
I dont really trust the antique camera dealers here. They seem shady and not very honest, i will steal your camera dealers.

Most professional camera repair techs have a device on their bench that measures shutter speed. You cwn buy or build one. See links below for plans etc.

police radars, scanners, cameras in dubai?

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 01:22:03 +0000

k im looking to buy a radar/laser detector or whatever, never bought one only seen them on cars on youtube. Mainly buying this for dubai as they are cracking down on speeding and the problem is they have fixed radars and cops with radar guns and portable radar machines now im not sure if the radar guns that the cops hold work differently from fixed radars (which most dont work, the physical unit is their but n o camera inside) but either way i dont want to get caught by them. any ideas or suggestions are welcomed

My husband downloaded an app which tells him where cameras are installed.

@Fari: Germany got no speed limits? Where did you get this nonsens from?

Has the uk government caused this rioting in london?

admin — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:39:21 +0000

Does anyone think the uk government has no one to blame but therselves for this rioting.

In the last 14 years this government has:

Released thousands of paedophiles onto the streets.

Has made victims lifes hell, rather than the offenders, ie milly dowlers family.

Has punished the poor, and rewarded the rich.

Has dished out continuing prison sentences of 8 years for murdering someone, but 12 years for robbery, you see it on a daily basis in uk court of laws.

Has written another 5,000 new laws, it would now take you a year to read the statute books, never mind understand them.

Has let 600 politicians off from stealing, most other citizens would be imprisoned, and they are laughing in voters faces.

Has taxed us through the roof, we now give the government 60% of everything we earn, tax on cigs, drink, car tax, stealth tax, national insurance, tax on food, clothes, houses, and what do they do with the money, bomb other countries to smithering, ie iraq, afghanistan, libya.

Speed traps everywhere, stealing money off us, red light cameras, cops with laser guns, laughing at you, when fining you £60, but its not about the £30 million they make every year, its about safer roads. Yeeahhhhhh, right.

Parking tickets, balliffs, wheel clampers, all stealing money from us, protest, and you will be fined or imprisoned.

Is it any wonder why thousands have had enough of this lying, cheating, conning, two faced, hypocritical, government, and all its agents of forces, ie police, customs, excise,inland revenue, councils.

You can only fool people for so long, and pull the wool over their eyes for so long.

The UK citizens have had enough, does anyone agree?

It is Cold war between UK and USA, they secretly cheating each other to get maximum share in Afghanistan.
Raymond Davis of USA was secretly spying interests of UK in Pakistan, was caught by Pakistan Intelligence with back of UK.
US Helicopter is attacked in Kabul
UK secretly supports Taliban and was unhappy on killing of Osama.

All are part of Cold war, before the war Field was Pakistani Land now it is spread into UK and USA lands as well. It will result in destruction of any one of UK or USA.

Riots….. Am I really the the only person who’s thought of this OBVIOUS solution?

Every criminal’s best friend is anonymity … would you agree to a system where every citizen has an indelible personalised tag on their skin inside their upper arm that can be read by a laser from 50 yards..like a number plate recognition system for people. Coppers can identify criminals instantly, hoodie or no hoodie How could a law abiding citizen object to this?
Imagine a world without the universal car registrations, we’d just laugh at speed cameras, red lights, pedestrian crossings, and keep going!
if you disagree, please offer a CONCRETE reason, not just the old human rights/ Orwellian doom theory rhetoric. And try to resist mentioning the Holocaust as a lazy attempt to give a flimsy answer some kind of moral gravity. People who gave weak answers when this qu was posted earlier need not repost.
Several very compelling cases against, there. My brainwave is starting to fall to bits!
Moral of story: You’ll never win someone over by just rubbishing/insulting them. And NEVER be sarcastic.
If anyone’s got any better ideas, I’m all ears.

A tech-savvy criminal would crack the system and identity theft would rise ten-fold.

What camera is best for this?

admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 01:01:55 +0000

I have a Nikon COOLPIX P100 that takes great photos, but doesn’t do that great at concerts. I am looking for a camera that takes clear photos at concerts(ex: Adam Lambert concert) The concerts I go to have lasers and stuff like that and the objects are constantly moving. But I also go to house party concerts(ex: Monte Pittman) where the lighting is odd. I would like for the camera to take pretty good scenery photos too as I like to take nature pictures as well.

What I want:
Would rather a Canon
High ISO
Doesn’t need to be small/compact
Good zoom(My Nikon has 26x zoom & love that about it)
I’d like a fast shutter speed since many objects will be moving
Highest price I’ll go: $475

I don’t mind getting a used camera. I will most likely be buying this camera off of Ebay or Amazon so higher priced cameras will be cheaper if I buy a used one.

I am not worried about accessories because my birthday is in about 3 months, then Christmas is only 1 month after that so I will be getting a lot of money or I can just ask for the accessories. So the price doesn’t include all that kind of stuff.

This is the 6th time this question has been posted, want to stop now?

What is the best camera for concerts?

atm, Canon Powershot G12 is the best. It doesn’t have interchangeable lenses so you dont have to be worried about being turned around at the door of the concert for your camera (remember….dSLRs are normally not allowed without a photography pass). And it performs GREAT in low light. This is the best point and shoot you can get atm, and thats including cameras outside of your budget. and like your Coolpix P100, its not a dSLR, but since its a bridge camera it works like a dSLR. The cheapest site you can buy it at, shipping and tax included is at DIY Micro:
http://www.diymicro.com/Canon_PowerShot_G12_10_MP_Digital_Camera_p/CANPSG12.htm
It costs $453.

If you can, I would wait. The Canon Powershot G13 should be coming next month or September.

Heres a video review for the G12:

Can police with hand held laser guns send you a NIP, or do they have to pull you over?

admin — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:27:00 +0000

As the question says.

I’ve heard that those chunky hand held cameras don’t record speed so they need to pull you over at the time of speeding.

Just for the record I was speeding as i accelerated onto the road and then i slowed right down to the speed limit, it was dark and didnt see the police man until i was close, i was already doing 30 before i got to him but was going faster earlier on. im assuming his laser would of seen that in the dark.

This is in the UK

Yes they can, and are more likely to, send you an NIP. In reality, they wouldn’t pull you over for these reasons :
1 – they are positioned at a specific site that they have had to organise in advance, check distances/calibrate equipment etc. They would have to start all over again each time they chased after someone.
2 – they are sitting there with a specific mandate : to catch as many people as they can. They wouldn’t waste time chasing one person when an NIP would suffice. They would risk missing other speeders.

However, there are rules about NIPs – they have to be received by you within 14 days. Don’t believe people who say that they have to send the NIP within 14 days, it has to be received by you within that time. It is presumed in the criminal procedure rules that a letter is received 2 working days after it is posted. So check the date it was sent. And if you can show (even just by turning up and giving evidence about it) that it was delivered outside of the 14 days, then the NIP is invalid.

And don’t forget another thing – the NIP comes with a request for driver information. The Police do not know who was driving until you tell them. Failure to supply this means 6 points, £525 fine, £60 costs and a £15 victim surcharge. Sometimes that is better than the sentence you would receive if you admitted to driving (eg say you were driving at 110 in a 60 zone – you’d be banned for sure, 6 points and a fine would be loads better). Consider this when responding.

is anyone in New Jersey over the age of 18 have the guts to….?

admin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:25:05 +0000

go over the speed limit on a national freeway without being caught ??.. .. cuz NJ traffic enforcement is re-investing in a new set of laser cameras across much of the network

Everyone goes over the speed limit in NJ. They are too busy fist pumping in the cars to bother to watch how fast they are going.

Speed Camera Radar Detectors?

Hi there,

I am looking to purchase a radar detector that picks up the following devices:

•Gatso
•Truvelo
•DS2/TSS
•SPECS
•Laser
•Mini Gatso

+ Police Cars

However, my budget is £100, what do you advise? And where is the cheapest, but still reliable place to buy it from?
