RE: Phone Tapping YES - Cameras Everywhere NO

Comment comment by ldsudduth on 28 January 2008

True - a lot of the newer systems are featuring significantly better cameras than the old 320x200 cameras of the past. Still, the good cameras come at the cost of being located on locations with money (like toll plazas) or bank security, etc.

No argument there, and my 'feloneous' ride was photographed by a b&w camera, so it could have been IR. Even though it only cost me the price of the normal 'ride' through (though, if I hadn't paid in in 10 days, it would have cost me $25 more), I'm still more cautious these days--I try not to get caught up in any 'packs' when heading toward toll plazas.

I had only owned the car 6 hours when I got nabbed too..LOL..I was heading for CT for some R&R.

RE: Phone Tapping YES - Cameras Everywhere NO by VnutZ :: NR8

The Koreans have virtually zero police on their MSR highways to monitor for speeding. Everything was done with radar triggered cameras. Their system was old enough though to have a significant lag on the shutter system which meant I went 2.5 years getting only one speeding ticket. The speeding ticket is what proved the lag to me since it reported me going somewhere around 10 or 20 kph over the speed limit. It never caught me going my usual 60+. The best part is the day I received my ticket (also a picture of me driving my Kia Pride with spider web decalled hood, fuzzy dice in the mirror and leopard skin seat covers around a corner) was the day I'd swapped out my license plates ... meaning it was no longer "me".
