whoa ... i didn't know them cameras took pictures of speeding vehicles ... I got a bunch of cameras here, but they usually go off if you run a red light or something ...

Yes indeedy, F*** the police ...

Waaaaiit a minute here...

Yes, ticketing can be annoying etc etc, but don't hate the police for that. Traffic accidents kill a LOT of people, and speeding certainly contributes a lot to that. In general I feel bad for the police given all the scum they have to deal with on a regular basis. People I can just ignore, they have to DEAL with.

So they keep the streets clean of stupid criminals who will kill a little old lady for a few dollars and people who do other stupid and/or sick crap.

The real government endorsed thugs lie in other certain agencies

The police here are reasonably good...except for this ludicrous thing that happened to my dad - let's see if I can explain properly:

3 cars involved

car #1 was making an illegal turn
my dad was in car #3

so, car #2 didn't foresee #1 stopping and so rammed into it. My dad then rammed into car #2.

Now, the bonnet on car #2 was folded in on itself and my dad has a minor dint on his. HOWEVER, the police had decided it was mostly my dad's fault because he hit #2 and pushed it into #1.

Now my knowledge of physics says that if you hit something it cannot transfer more energy than the amount it was moved with, unless it contributed something of its own.
If my dad has only a small dint, how did the car he apparently pushed into another have an obliterated bonnet? (both cars were similar size).

So he had to pay up the fine regarding both damaged cars. I had a little argument with one of the cops, but he said "yes i know it doesn't make sense, but there was a witness"

o sure, there was a witness. Never mind that it happened on a street only hookers, pimps and junkies walked on.

It's an arterial road that runs through major towns and leads to the city ... it just happens to also run through the worst neighbourhood around too. You can't exactly avoid driving through it. I always avoid WALKING through it though

Good idea.

In reference to your father's wreck, I'm not exactly sure how traffic incident blame pans out in Australia.

Where I live, it's usually the guy in the back who takes some, if not all of the blame, regardless of the actions of the cars ahead of him.

That puts me in mind of that TLC song:

No, I don't want no scrub
a scrub is a guy that can't no love from me
hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
trying to holler at me

that sucks..

dirty up your number plate, sombra. Or get that invisible-yet-reflective paint that makes your plate appear white when it it's flashed. Or, get one of those GPS nav systems that tells you where the cameras are. It's either that or not speeding ^.^
