IMO every SPECS camera in the country should be linked, and whenever you
pass one your number should be transmitted to every other camera in the
country along with a "discard-by" time, and if you are busted if you arrive
at any other camera before your number is discarded by that camera. It would
also bring an instant end to license plate cloning, because the system would
see these cars as travelling at 1000s of miles an hour, and the police could
instantly be alerted to the location of both cars.

And whats the next phase in your Big Brother scheme? Record the faces of the
drivers in the cars which can be matched by a facial recognition system?
How far does this go? If speed limits were reasonable I wouldn't mind these
bloody cameras but a lot of the time they've been set deliberately low just so
as to catch as many drivers and hence raise as much revenue as possible.
2 prime examples spring to mind - the 40mph limit on the 6 lane north circular
at many points and the cameras on the A45 coming out of Birmingham.
Fortunately the latter are backwards facing cameras and I've solved the
problem of getting anymore tickets by permanently removing my front license
plate. Did that a year ago and despite driving past many plods have yet to be
stopped for it and I'd recommend everyone else who is fed up with being
extorted by the police do the same.
