Title: Strict enforcement of speed in Queensland
Post by: Arnie on June 02, 2015, 11:12:14 AM
I've always thought the Victoria policy of issuing an infringement at 3Kph over outrageously strict, but Queensland is much much worse.  Take a look at this:

Seen that yesterday and thought it was pretty funny.

Out of the millions of speeding tickets given out each year they have to stuff up a couple.  You'd have to frame it.

Yep, they certainly have taken the "Every K Over Is A Killer" mantra to another level, lol.

If you blow .05 on a .05 alcohol limit you get fined,  so maybe their trying to see if they can get away with it with the speed limit.  :unknown:

I would let the matter proceed to court and then sit back and watch the magistrate tear a new asshole in the police prosecutor. They don't like wasting time and resources

Looks like this is an automated camera fine, the cops hand write the ones in person,  :ireful:
Camera/computer stuff up is all.

Stu, it would never get to court in that form and you're forgetting whose side the magistrate is on.

Apparently there was two tickets issued. The camera went off while they were setting up. 
Come on guys... everyone's entitled to a mistake or 2 :dash2:
