what is the mechanism behind traffic cameras for speeding?

the mechanic is Doppler effect.\n\nthey send microwaves or some sort of electromagnetic waves and then they measure the frequency of the reflected wave and then they can determine the speed of a vehicle

It's a huge problem here, last month the cops set up a trap and arrested a bunch, they confiscated 8 cars they are keeping! They made a bunch of tickets too for illegal parts and unsafe cars. They deserve every charge they get, streets are made for driving, not racing, I don't care if there's no track around to go race legally, I've been into racing my whole life, I'm 42 years old and have NEVER raced on the street. My grandparents were both killed instantly by a speeding car. Just because you can drive a video game doesn't mean you're qualified to be a race car driver, it takes years of trained experiance behind the wheel of a REAL car to drive at high speeds, and even then it's not safe. If you ask any seasoned race driver if it's safe, you'll never get a yes, you'll get " It's about as safe as they can make it for the conditions we drive". Those conditions are a RACE TRACK driving with other drivers who have the same equipment and training you do. It's NOT a public road with regular cars, regardless of the roll cage you may have in your car, other's on that same road have a stock off the shelf car.I don't care how good you think you are behind the wheel, if you drive at high speeds on public roads, you're irresponsible and unsafe, putting peoples lives in danger for your own selfish thrills.

Speed.  Specifically, someone else's driving.  I try to desensitize myself to it by letting other people drive, but it hasn't helped much.

Of course.  Keep in mind, the policeman pulling you over makes it a moving violation, points on insurance and all that.\n\nThe camera ticket merely civil.  They can fine the owner of the car, but they cannot establish who was driving it.\n\nYou should not receive two tickets, the police ticket supersedes the camera one.  If you get both, you should be able to get out of the camera one.

THEY HAVE A SPECIAL IMAGE FINDER..WHEN AN OBJECT,PARTICULARLY THE BALL CROSS OR DISTURB ITS FOCUS,IT CALCULATES THE SPEED.

Checked with a friend of mine he advises me you have LASER, some hand held portables  radar ka guns, and some units have Vascar a non radio in car computer based on officer observation.\n\nThis is connected to the vehicles speedometer through a sensor that feed both the computer and the radar and corrects the vehicle speed indicated for patrol car speed.\n\nAPS

i was always under the impression that the camera flashed twice so that it shows the motion of the vehicle. it will be pretty clear on who set it off and whos going faster in the pictures.

the law is the law and if you get caught they will screw you for it.\n\nbut yes i agree on the motorway if it is clear then 100 is fine as long as your car is safe and the weatehr is good, the only person you can hurt then is yourself.\n\nI admit i often drive 50, 60 or even 70 on 40mph roads but i do make sure it is safe first and usually only late at night, 30mph areas are not really for speeding as there are usually a lot of people in these areas but i see no real harm in an additional 5 - 6 mph if everyone else is doing the same.\ntraffic police are only around at rush hour so stick to the limit then.\nSpeed cameras are then the main worry regarding geting caught and never speed through motorway roadworks as there is nearly always cameras.\n\n\nalso the temporary speed restrictions in motorway traffic are often ignored by other road users but i know many people getting caught out this way as this is one thing the police do loook out for.\n\ngenerally you have to judge yourself what is safe as sometimes there really is no safety issue in breaking the limit.\n\nstill as a new driver i would be VERY careful as there is a lot you still need to learn... passing your test is just the start.\n\nI remember having quite a few scary moments in the months after passing my test by thinking i was a better driver than i was so take it easy for now and allow plenty of time to get where your going.... dont be pressured into speeding by somebody behind you... if they hit your rear then its their insurance that pays out not yours and you really want to keep that no claims bonus.

Funny you mention that. The police chief of Chiago already wants cameras in the homes of felons. Yes we are entering a total police state here in the USA. There are also directional mics in the public areas with those cameras to listen in on your conversations. The justification for these mics is classic disinfo. I have heard that the mics are to triangulate gun shots, yeah they can do that, but mostly they are here to spy on us. But don't just worry about the cameras. State governments are implementing RFID technology into your cars registration stickers. And there are even plans on making a system like Onstar mandatory so basically you will have to "check in" with your state government in some way before you can even drive your car! It is really beyond 1984 what is being set up here in the US, and the national news will NOT tell you its happening.

On a stretch of road that ran straight for about 3.5 miles, I clocked a oncoming vehicle at 136mph. I had never had one that high and was wondering if the radar was not accurate. I reset it and it showed 147mph, to my luck another unit was behind me about 1.5 miles and was able too stop the vehicle. Needless to say no ticket issued, he was jail bound and his vehicle towed. Not had one that high since.

Normal driving speeds should be acknowledged during transport.  However, if the officer is in proximity of another 911 he can exceed the speed limit in order to respond.\n\nDuring a routine traffic stop I was once arrested for "not having drivers license on person."  Which is a discretionary ticket.  I had left work on the night shift for lunch and left my purse in my locker?   I was hand cuffed behind my back and placed in the car.\n\nThe officer received a call to respond to a possible drug related incident?  He flew 120 MPH to a house in the country.  I sat in the back seat while they busted a house.  The officer came to the patrol car and told me to lay down.  I asked if he could loosen the cuffs because they were cutting into my wrists?  He said he couldn't do that.  The officer put the drug dealer in car with ME.\n\nThen he drove like a bat out of hell for 20 minutes to get to the station.  I even asked the officer if he had to drive so fast, and could he legally do that?  He said "I can in this case".\n\nI mentioned this when I went to court?  The fine for my misfortune should have been release upon ICS or ISS or what ever they call into?  My court fine?  $900!\n\nI would say that the officer can validate his speed by any means of responce and/or immediate call for assistance.

I drafted a pretty good LIDAR (laser-radar) speeding defense using these websites:\n\nhttp://www.helpigotaticket.com/proc/...\nhttp://www.tipmra.com/\nhttp://www.ticketassassin.com/\n\nThey give free advice for beating traffic tickets. I must caution you to verify the law contained in these websites. Hope this helps.

At work we use a piece of software by the name of rapid eye. Depending on the rights that the users are given you can do this. Besides just being able to see security cameras, you can also setup different zones to give off alarms and so forth. I am not sure how big of a business you are talking about or how much you want to invest, but it works for us and we have over 100 cameras running on it at a time. You can also write the video off to a hard drive for future playback.

Those cameras are meant to deter misbehavior - that is, the Board of Education wants you to think that they have assistant principals and/or school safety agents watching those cameras all the time\n\nOf course, they do NOT - there isn't enough money in the budget for them to have personnel watching those cameras..\n\nBut, they MAY have a videotape system that can be reviewed at a future time if something bad happens, and on any given day they MIGHT just have an SSA or an AP watching that camera \n\nSo, they want you to behave all the time, to avoid the risk that you MIGHT getting caught...

They don't even do anything to the people that live in those areas who don't pay the fine. Those cameras are stupid. I remember hearing that Arizona law is that if you aren't served your ticket by an officer of the law the ticket is voluntary. After a period of time they will either pay to have you served (not you, you're too far away) and if they can't serve you they drop the charge.\n\nIf I were you I'd mail them back a photocopy of some cash. (Don't really, because then they can prove you were served)

It tends to be on technicalities.  Where there many vehicles moving with you and you were received a tickets?  Did this affect the radar gun effectiveness with your vehicle?  When the officer was pacing your vehicle, was his spedometer calibrated properly and in properly maintained?\n\nSo you see, there are many technicalities.  But if you are responsible, it is better to take a driving class if offered by the court to have the ticket dismissed.
