Thought it wasn't true in a sense but shows it can be done.
We could have Annual Knock over a Bin Day and whoever nails the speed camera wins!!! ![]()

The top two photos (GREEN bin) were from SA in 2005. The bottom two photos (BLACK bin) are from overseas, notice the minivan in the RH lane driving away from the camera.

In QLD you can get fined for leaving your bin on the street.

Perhaps the council fined them 1000 GBP for putting the bin out early

Wont happen, people will ruin it. Just put rubbish in it which just happens to be many half full water bottles and say you thought it was a normal garbage.

Who was the person who invented the speed camera? Hope that it wasn't an australian. I would like to pay respects to that person by doing number 1 and number 2 on his grave.

Here we go again. Not long ago a girl on Facebook posted one of these pictures thinking the QLD police are doing it right now. As we know this is NOT happening in QLD and in fact it was actually in SA back in 2005.

As a concerned citizen I would pick up the bin and take it back to the council dump just like I would for wandering shopping trollies.
Of course I would wash the insides first with sea water...... ![]() |

Does anyone know what happens if you report a speed camera car as a stolen and abandoned car? or better still, ring the AFP and report a suspicious looking vehicle.

As of today. Maitland Rd Mayfield has 2 fixed cameras in the space of 300 metres.
Ones a speed camera, the other was today chaged from a red light camera to a safety camera. If that is not revenue raising I don't know what it is. Safety cameras are anything but safe. Plus having 2 cameras that close seems like a case of revenue raising. |

They've also upgraded the camera in the intersection next to the Newcastle Football Stadium (two digital camera's) and have put in another one at the intersection of Stewart Ave (old HWY) and Parry Street. Those are just the ones i've noticed. They can be recognised because the sign says "Safety Camera Ahead" instead of "Red Light Camera Ahead". |
