Strewth Ruth.

I can see oiling his padlock, or maybe sharpening his delete axe. :eek:

I have to agree with closing the speed camera post, it was getting a bit out of hand. Please don't start it up here again .........

You just did. Anyway, I thought it was quite entertaining.
Given the number of signs in NSW warning you that you are approacing a camera the minimum fine should be $1000. $100 for speeding and $900 for being extremely stupid.
As for going to bed with politicians, what a revolting thought. Unless it's Natasha Stott Despoja. If she wants to move to Port Macquarie I'll vote for her.

I'll bite....
I know that a male teacher was sentenced to prison for the "same" act....but again, I accept that.

This is not "double" standards.....just "different" standards....and a fact of life.

I'll bite too.

The two sentences cannot be compared as the transgressions were very different.
The coach had a number of abusive relations ships with 14yo children over a number of years.
The teacher had a mutually acceptable (though illegal and immoral) for a few weeks with a willing 15yo child.

Forget the sex of the people involved it is still very different acts.

How do people sharpen their tools?

I'm not sure about sharpening, but I heard about a bloke that tried to wear his to a point.

Apparently triton have released one, it will never replace the real ones, but it works well enough for your weekend rent-a-cop, so long as you don't mind taking the time to set it up correctly.
Oh and its easy to see

Woo hoo

I heard it was out by 10% and you have to buy the add-on stabiliser to get it to work properly.

Yep!... but I have this theory, that if you get caught speeding, you weren't alert enough to be driving that fast (NO EXCEPTIONS)..... and that goes for hidden cameras and vehicle mounted radar patrols (which can be a bit tricky to spot if they are coming the other way at a similar speed!) ...if they can hide a camera...then a child or a dog or any other thing could be ready to pounce from the same spot .... so no going too fast for the conditions eh??

(Hope that's not too close to the thread I missed over the weekend!)

It is versatile. It accepts most cameras in the market….

[silentC]

Most

[craigb]

Apparently you can get a camera that was made specially to fit it.

[Wongo]

Can be converted from camera mode to mobile phone mode in 15 seconds.

And with the add-on biscuit attachment it handles morning and afternoon tea too...
