    They're not going to be used as cameras though.

    I saw these on the news. They're just going to be used to guage the speed of lines of traffic, once the flow of traffic gets below a certain level they'll put signs up warning people of delays. They havent got the capacity to pull anyone up for speeding with them cos they cant take your reg plate with them. They're just going to be speed sensors and the CCTV cameras are going to be just like the ones you find every day on motorways anyway.

    Dont see what the fuss is all about.

    even if they could take your picture etc.. i can't see them being used as actual spped cameras for fining people as there is no way to prove your speed from the picture as it's pointing up at you. they have to be able to prove your speed in order to convict you, hence why speed cameras take 2 pics and have the lines on the floor, just so they can say "you travelled this distance, in this time (the time between the 2 pics) so you were going this fast"

    So if its pointing up at you they can't prove the distance you've travelled, it can gauge your speed just like normal speed cameras but not prove it.

    also how do these things take your details? as you come towards them or going away? because if its towards, how would they get the number plate of a motorbike?
