A GPS Radar Gun For Speed Trap Cameras
from the fighting-technology-with-technology dept
The battle continues... As police are increasingly using speed trap cameras to ticket speeders, now in the UK you can buy a little GPS device that warns you when you're approaching one of these electronic speed traps. They're looking for a US distributor. Of course, these only work if the system knows the location of the cameras, but luckily, the device comes with a modem which you can use to download the latest database of cameras - which is updated daily. They even let you indicate a camera if you see one, and will send you a reward for finding new ones.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
