Police call for mobile speed cameras
Posted 18 minutes ago

Senior police are asking the New South Wales Government to re-introduce mobile speed cameras in a bid to curb the rising road toll.

Assistant Commissioner John Hartley wrote to the then-police minister Tony Kelly three months ago, arguing his case on the cameras.

Under his plan, the devices could be operated by Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) workers, freeing up police for what the Assistant Commissioner described as more "proactive" road safety duties.

Assistant Commissioner Hartley has told the ABC he is waiting on a response from the Government.

"I would like to see the statistcs that people killed were booked by a speed camera in past year. Police won't release this statistic as it would prove the cameras don't reduce the road toll"
How does booking someone for speeding a few k's over limit, and getting a ticket in the mail , a few weeks later, stop someone being killed elsewhere in the state ??????
Please stop the revenue spin, bring in education, etc.
