Is there any evidence that these cameras reduce injuries or deaths?

The police come out with spurious statistics that they have a habit of doing
but knowing the reliability of police stats and the amount of spin
they always have I'd prefer to see an independent survey done before I
believe a word of it.

Plus if the real reason for these things was to reduce deaths they'd put them
in local streets and outside schools where most fatal accidents happen. But no,
they put them where they make the most money , ie on high speed roads where
a greater percentage of drivers speed but the least accidents happen.

The Aussies regard them as an extra tax on the motorist.

And thats exactly what they are.
