    Thanks Bwen you're a champ! That sucks majorly though, guess they're starting to use anything for speed cameras too.
    But IMO, what gave it away way was the fact they tried to hide it. If they parked it in the emergency stopping bay, no one would've suspected a thing..

    That's infra-red so you won't see a flash.

    Considering in QLD they're supposed to have a sign or police stickers displayed for speed detection duties,
    maybe they have this one set up to detect unregistered cars and people driving while suspended.
    There's a push on that in Victoria at the moment-just a suggestion.

    This guy or one very similar is always around the sothside area.. He's out and about quite often, I have nearly been caught out as I too, thought the police had to have signs up. Be careful guys..

    They normally have the signs right next to the vehicle so by the time you actually see the sign, it's too late anyway

    Yeah but they're covered in "Police" magnets and stickers and if you look hard enough, you can see a flash mounted to the rear bumper of the vans they use.

    Found this site while doing a little research. Thought it was an interesting read

    Saw a Patrol identical to this but with different plates being used as a marked speed camera through Willowbank yesterday. Hope the dubbers that were out there weren't speeding!
