2011 News & Updates

More errors with cameras – have you been wrongly caught?

– More errors with cameras

Our first story this week, details yet more errors with the current camera system, and, although this particular story relates to toll cameras as opposed to speed cameras, quite obviously, the same types of errors can occur with any camera fine.

Have a read over this story – https://north-shore-times.whereilive.com.au/news/story/insert-web-head-here-99-17/ – and hopefully you will think twice before just blindly paying a fine in the future. What’s really scary is, that by their own admissions, 0.02% of charges are incorrectly applied. Now, 0.02% of 70,000 vehicles a day is 140. So, even by their own figures, 140 cars every day are being wrongly charged – that’s nearly 50,000 a year and that’s just this one camera!!! We’ll leave it up to you to do the maths on how many other charges and fines are wrongly issued each day across the country!

Now, this is a fairly obvious fault and very easy to prove but how many similar mistakes – that aren’t so obvious – do you think go un-noticed every day? You open your mail, you get a fine – 3 to 4 weeks after the fact – and think to yourself “Oh yeah, I guess I could have been there” and then you just “pay up”, when the reality is that it wasn’t even your car and you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong!

As we have detailed many times before, the cameras themselves are flawed, the authenticity of the photos cannot be proven in court, ex-employees have been proven to have hacked into various camera “systems” and now there’s the additional issue of “human error” to contend with as well. Why would anyone ever just blindly pay a fine again?

Oh, and before you jump in with “It’s too hard to fight the system” or “It costs too much”, our e-book shows you step-by-step, exactly how easy it is to fight these fines – many times without ever having to go to court – and we also show you how to do it entirely on your own at zero cost.

So, if you’re not yet a Member and you don’t have our e-book that explains how easy it is to cover yourself against “errors” such as this, then please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.

And, if you think fighting a fine is hard, you should try getting to and from work and supporting your family without a licence when the inevitable happens and your licence is suspended because you blindly “paid up” when you should have fought back.

Remember, once you pay a fine, even if you can categorically prove later that you didn’t commit the offence, it is too late. However, if you start the process of fighting a fine, there are always still options to pay if you find out, down the track, that you did actually do the wrong thing. So, why take the chance?

– Motorists must have a right to question police equipment

The following story, out of Adelaide, shows that even the Law Society believes that motorists should be able to question the integrity of speed detection devices. Why? Because “so much revenue is raised from speed and red light cameras” and “under present law it is almost impossible for people to prove their innocence”. You can see what else they have to say here – https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/law-society-backs-query-on-speeding/story-fn6bqphm-1226051469865

This is something we have been trying to get through to people for years. There is this crazy belief that these devices are inherently accurate and only sometimes get it wrong, however, the reality is the exact opposite. Only now, that Police Officers and Members of Parliament and the like are being fined, does anyone seem to agree with us.

Well, just because they’re only just getting the message now doesn’t mean that the message hasn’t been right all along. So, if you would like to help us spread this message as far and as wide as possible, please scroll down to our Facebook Group, Bumper stickers and business cards section below.

– Park in Sydney or buy our e-book – it costs the same

We couldn’t believe this article when some of our Members sent it through this week – https://www.news.com.au/national/sydneys-17-per-cent-parking-meter-rise/story-e6frfkvr-1226052247325 – $7 an hour to park in Sydney. That means, you can either park in Sydney for 10 hours or become a Member of ASF and still get change! And that way, you never have to worry about these ridiculous prices ever again.

As always, we question the line that says “The increase in the compliance rates by motorists have continued to lead to a lower number of parking penalty notices issued than expected.” – why are they expecting to issue any fines at all???? This, once again, clearly shows that it is all just about revenue raising.

– Latest Testimonials

Our first testimonial, this week, is from a Member who successfully defeated an unjust and unlawful speeding fine and is now fighting an unjust parking fine as well, using our information.

Hi Guys and Girls at ASF,

Once again I thank you for this weekly update of information, especially the Testimonial section, it gives heart to hear that people power is having a win and for the right reasons.

I myself have also had a win regarding my issue with the SA Police or more to the point the SA State Government. Last year whilst on my way back to WA from a quick visit to the Barossa Valley, I was stopped and fined for allegedly speeding, approximately 15 klms south of Ceduna on the Flinders Highway.  The Brevatt Sergeant informed me that he clocked me at 125 kph, now my Harley can certainly travel at this speed but I was not anywhere near this velocity and I took exception which led me to contacting ASF and becoming a member.

I commenced the “3 step process” and as you are aware due to the nature of these debt collecting institutions, I had to issue all the letters ie “notice of objection”, “clarification letter”, “default notice” and the last letter was the “court election letter”. I skipped the “notice of private settlement” as I was wanting to front court, I am very confident that I would win this as there are definite anomalies with the written infringement ticket and a SA POL letter as to the exact location of the said infringement.

Anyway yesterday I received a letter from the SA Police Criminal Section informing me that they would not be pursuing this matter.

I have also acquired a “parking infringement” issued from my local council and naturally I have commenced the “3 step process”, I already have a good feeling regarding this issue as my informal visit to the Council Chambers to inform the Head Ranger that I am aware of my rights and also of the Councils role as per the Australian Constitution and that all “fines” as such are illegal. His demur told me that his departments actions are in fact all about bluff and or stand over tactics, I am looking forward to this.

I have informed everyone that I am in contact with, and in general conversation with, of the process that ASF has refined over the years and the purpose for this undertaking. In short ASF membership has been a fantastic acquisition and I am only to happy to expel your virtues.

Many thanks and regards, keep up the good fight.

Paul – S.A.

And here’s a testimonial from another Member who defeated an unjust speeding fine that, by his own admissions, if he didn’t have the info in our e-book, he simply would not have beaten.  As we keep saying, our goal is that our e-book is just the start of your journey to understanding your rights and taking a stand for them – the key is to take some sort of a stand and not to just blindly “pay up”.

Hi ASF,

I travelled from NSW to Wonthaggi Court in April. As my case was not being heard till after lunch, I had ample time to talk to the Prosecutor, who was a very nice lady. It was because of that lady, & because of a good Judge, that the case was dismissed!!

I had been told by my solicitor that if I asked the camera operator if he had with him a certificate for the h/h radar that he used to help set up the Gatso, that the prosecutor would ask for an adjournment & I would have to go through all this again. The prosecutor said nothing.

By the time I had finished my statement in the box, I thought I was gone.
The judge then asked the prosecutor about my driving record & the prosecutor replied, “A minor traffic infringement in 1996, your honour”

Judge said, case dismissed.

I had sent all letters, pleaded not guilty, brought up the constitution, questioned the judge on the legality of the RMIT issuing illegal certificates, but I don’t think any of it helped. It was the prosecutor & a good judge.

That said, I couldn’t have faced court without the knowledge your E-Book gave me, &, if I get done again by these revenue raising cameras, it’ll be NOT GUILTY again.

Thnks Guys,

Jim. – NSW

Please remember that there are plenty more e-mails like these on our Testimonial’s pages – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – and many of you will note that our old page has now grown to two full pages and continues to grow because we regularly receive stories of success, just like this, from our Members.

– Who would like an Aussie Speeding Fines Forum?

Speaking of testimonials, we have had a number of requests over the past few weeks for the details of people who have sent us testimonials. Obviously, your privacy is of paramount importance to us here at ASF and therefore, we cannot give out the details of someone who has e-mailed us. However, on the rare occasion, and if you request us to do so, we can forward an e-mail onto someone who has sent us in a testimonial.

These requests got us to thinking again about the idea of a forum. Now, we used to have a forum years ago but I was constantly abused with people posting ads for Viagara and the like and it got way out of control so we had to shut it down. However, given the growing number of testimonials we have, as well as the ever increasing number of Members and Subscribers that come on board each week, we are again thinking about the possibility of starting up a forum again.

The problem is that we currently receive 300 – 500 e-mails a day so we simply do not have any more man hours available to attend to moderating a forum and, given our previous experience with a forum, we would need someone basically full time just to run that side of things.

So, we though we would put it out to you, our Members and Subscribers, to see who would be interested in a forum and who would be willing to pay a nominal fee to cover the costs of setting it all up and bringing on board someone else to run it for us. We were thinking of something along the lines of a $9.95 yearly membership fee to access the forum.

This is something that current Members could use to get answers from existing Members to help them with their various cases and it is also something that Subscribers or future Members could use just to ask a few questions before actually deciding to join up as a Member.

Now, it’s not something we could do straight away, it would probably take us a month or so to organize it all but, at this stage, we are just trying to get a feel for who would be interested and whether or not it is something that we could look at adding to our current site.

We previously asked if Members and Subscribers were interested in business cards and bumper stickers and we had an overwhelming positive response to that and, as per the section below, we now have those free of charge for anyone who wants them. Unfortunately, the stickers currently cost us about $2 each to have printed to it’s a fairly expensive exercise but we do it to help spread the word. The cost of setting up and running a forum though, is simply not something we could currently handle.

So, if anyone would be interested in a forum and would be prepared to help cover the costs of setting it up and running it by way of a small fee, please let us know. And, as always, if anyone has any other ideas of how we can help get word of our site to more people or assist current Members and Subscribers in any way, please let us know.

– Facebook group, bumper stickers and business cards

So, if you’re not yet a Member or you know someone who isn’t then please go to our Memberships page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.

Then, once you’ve done that, please be sure to add your signature to our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to have these ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising devices removed from our roads and pass this link onto everyone in your contact list so they too can add their signature.

Then, if you would really like to help us spread the word and get our invaluable, licence saving information into the hands of every motorist in the country, then please be sure to visit and join our Facebook group – https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=19117918208 – and then, if you really want to help make a difference, just e-mail us your postal address and we will send you out some business cards and/or bumper stickers – completely free of charge – that you can then hand out.

As always, we thank you all for your continued support and we appreciate all the Members who have taken the time to e-mail us with stories of their success as well as keeping us updated with media articles from around the country, so please, keep them coming!

Stay safe out there,

It’s actually been a pretty quiet week on the media front, however, we have received a number of new Testimonials this week. So, this e-mail – to the delight on many, we’re sure – will be a little shorter than most.

So, let’s get straight into it …

– Police to warn motorists of speed cameras

Well, if you had the slightest shred of doubt left in you that speed cameras were simply about revenue raising, then this story should clear that up once and for all. It appears as though the Police are now going to put their warning lights on and sit next to speed cameras to warn motorists of their locations.

Why are they doing this? Because it is part of industrial dispute to get more pay and they know, just like we do, that the only way to get any government to take any notice of anything is to hit them where it hurts – in their back pocket.

The police know full well that speed cameras are simply about raising revenue and they know that by warning motorists of their locations, they will slow down and the cameras will not be able to raise the normal levels of revenue that the government has been used to collecting for so long and they hope this will cause them to take notice of their pay dispute. You can read the full story for yourself here – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/cops-threaten-speed-camera-sabotage/story-fn7x8me2-1226048020228

Now, we’re certainly not going to blame the cops for doing this, but we will blame each and every cop who, once he has been given his pay rise, then goes onto issue an on-the-spot fine that he knows has nothing to do with road safety. After all, if they are prepared to warn motorists of these speed camera locations then they must believe that speed has nothing to do with road safety – the Police Union certainly wouldn’t let them do anything that actually endangered the lives of the public. So, it would be a bit two faced and hypocritical of them to then go and issue their own tickets – after they go what they wanted out of the whole exercise – wouldn’t it!

Of course, given that these cameras save lives and cause people to slow down anyway, we don’t really know why the Police would choose this course of action – unless all of that was complete rubbish!

Well, the cops have backed themselves into a corner this time and we’re more than happy to watch it all unfold. Now, don’t get us wrong, we know many Police members and a number of police personnel are ASF Members as well and we agree, they are definitely underpaid for what they have to go through. However, traffic cops, with all due respect, do not do what they are supposed to do, which is to stop people driving dangerously on our roads. Instead, they have become glorified tax collectors and many of them admit this themselves and they are sick of it too.

Well, now they have no excuse, they couldn’t turn around and say “we won’t respond to an armed robbery” or anything like that because it would endanger the public. And, if cameras really did save lives then they wouldn’t be able to take this action. If cameras did cause people to slow down – as the governments keep shoving down our throats in a pathetic attempt to justify these ridiculous and ineffective devices – then warning motorists of their location would have no effect. However, if all of this is garbage – which we all know it is – it is likely to be a very effective tactic as it will cost the government a lot of money,. We just hope that the same cops who take this action and get their pay rise will also have the integrity not to just hand out fines for 5 and 10 k’s over some arbitrary limit anymore!

– Have you got the Trapster app?

If you haven’t yet heard about it, there is an application called Trapster that is currently available – completely free of charge – for most smartphones and GPS units. You can find out more by going to www.trapster.com

Although we have mentioned this app before, a  Member mentioned it again a few weeks ago and, given that media-wise, at least, it’s been a quiet week, we thought it would be worth mentioning again.

In essence, by everyone working together, people can keep an eye out for cameras and upload their positions via this app to assist all other road users in knowing their locations.

Combined with the imminent Police action, in Victoria, at least, it should help significantly reduce the government’s revenue stream and bring them that little bit closer to taking note of, and implementing, some of the many strategies that we have outlined on our Vision for the future page –
https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/

– The first bumper sticker photos are in

Also, just another quick reminder that, following on from our recent e-mail where we challenged people to send in stories or, preferably, photos of some interesting or unique places that they had “come across” or seen one of our bumper stickers, the first few photos have come in and if you would like to see some absolutely classic photos then please click the following link – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/bumper-stickers-business-cards/ – and scroll down.

Again, we remind you that we cannot condone any of our Members placing stickers in locations such as this, however, we know a lot of our Members and Subscribers get a few stickers from us and hand them out to friends and family and they obviously have no control over where some of these people place our stickers.

So, if you happen to stumble across one of our stickers in an interesting or unusual location then please let us know and, if you can, get a photo and send it through to us so we can upload it to our website. If anyone needs any more stickers or business cards to hand out then please just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some straight out for you at no charge.

– Latest Testimonials

Once again, we have received a number of new Testimonials from more Members, this past week, who have successfully used our information to defeat unjust and unlawful fines.

The first is from another Member in S.A. – we’ve had quite a few from there recently – who successfully managed to both drag his case out for a long time – thus helping to fill up the courts – and, ultimately, win his case.

Hi Guys,

Police prosecution withdrew a fine for alleged speeding from March’ 08 – 62k’s in a 50 zone. 3 years on and many letters sent but a positive outcome.

 NEVER GIVE UP!

The prosecutions reasons for withdrawal was the officer of the day with the laser gun – an English import – has left the money grabbing service. I suspect he left over a year ago but I was told he left as little as two weeks ago, just goes to show how far they will go for the cash.

If that’s not bad enough, when I got into court for the fourth time over the three years the magistrate still asked me how I was pleading. Ii told him not guilty he then told me the charges had been withdrawn two weeks ago and I should have been notified I guess they just wanted one last chance to get me to roll over – nice try though!

Good outcome – cheers ASF!

Keep fighting, from Paul S.A.

And, while we’re on the subject of filling up the courts, have a look at what this Member had to say about a speeding fine that he recently defeated.

Hi ASF,

When I turned up at Ringwood Court for the mention hearing, my name was not on the list. So, I spoke to the Clerk of Courts who advised me to speak to the prosecutor. I gave the prosecutor a serve about my innocence and explained the technical details out of his Operators training manual as to why the reading was quite incorrect.

The prosecutor told me that he lost me at the beginning, and that the Court is not there for justice, but to get a conviction and collect fines! I was quite incensed but the prosecutor told me that if I plead guilty, he will pass a note to the Magistrate to dismiss the case. When the case came to a hearing, the Magistrate asked me how I would plead.  I stood up and pleaded guilty under protest. The Magistrate then dismissed the case as I had observed the prosecutor passing up a note.  I then asked to address the court and I told the court that I was not guilty, and thought that the whole case was most unjust. The Magistrate then asked me if I wanted to withdraw my guilty plea and have a full hearing. I said “No” and the case was dismissed.

What I think is happening is that more and more people are contesting these cases. This threatens to clog up the courts, so, the system is that the prosecutors are considering if the defendant can actually present a plausible case, and then suggest that the defendant pleads guilty, and by arrangement, the case is dismissed.  The advantage is that as the defendant has pleaded guilty, he can’t ask for costs.  The defendant knows that a contested hearing will cost time and money, so the lesser of two evils is to plead guilty and have the case dismissed by prior arrangement.

This way, the police and Government can deny that  lots of people are having acquittals because of errors in reading, and they do not have to pay costs. As the defendant had pleaded guilty, he can’t say much either.  Its a win win situation.

I recall you guys telling everyone to elect to have the case heard in court so as to clog up the courts. I think that it seems you are on the right track. It may not happen every time, but if more and more pressure is applied it may become the norm.

Thanks,

Ian

Stay safe out there,

– Intro

Our dear friend and one of our founding Members, Col Adkins, was laid to rest on Thursday, after a moving ceremony in Daylesford. It was incredible to see how many lives he had touched in his, all too short, 54 years.

We thank all of you for your kind words over the past week and please know that his family is aware of and very appreciative of your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Col’s passion for truth and justice was one of the focal points of his eulogy and, whilst talking to people after the service, it was clear that his message came through and people were now inspired, more than ever, to spread the word and continue where he left off.

Unjust and unlawful traffic fines are just one small part of what Col wanted to inform people about and, rest assured, that we are working feverishly behind the scenes to expose the bigger picture.

Accordingly, we would ask you all to be patient with us over the next few months. We have a ton of paperwork to look through and this all takes a lot of time. So, if you could keep your e-mails as small as possible and understand that it may take us a little longer than normal to reply, that would be much appreciated.

Okay, so onto this week’s latest news….

– Speed Whistleblower

Our opening story, this week, comes from another person who has helped and supported us greatly over the past 4 years, Mr John Lambert. For those of you who don’t know John, he used to be the head of road safety at Vicroads until he found out that reducing speed actually had almost nothing to do with improving road safety and, when he told Vicroads as much, he was forced to “move on”.

John is actually the one who supplied us with all the crash statistics that we have on our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – that show that speed is only a factor in some 5% of accidents. Yes, that’s right, in 95% of accidents, speed isn’t even a factor, let alone the actual cause – despite what these agencies keep trying to shove down our throats.

John explained a few of the truths about speed cameras and road safety to one of the reporters at Today Tonight a little while back and you can see what he has to say for yourself here –  https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/8195298/general/speed-whistblower

You will note that most of what John says is exactly the same as what we have had on our Vision for the Future page, as well as out on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – for a number of years now.

– Business owner beats speeding tickets

Our second and final story comes out of the UK and again shows what we have been saying all along – that speed cameras are fundamentally flawed and only occasionally get it right. We have lost track of the number of e-mails we have received from brainwashed people who tell us “If you don’t speed then you won’t get fined”, perhaps this article will show them, once again, how completely false and unfounded that belief really is.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1379374/Business-owner-beats-speeding-tickets-turning-towns-traffic-enforcement-camera-technology-them.html

So, here’s a respected businessman who has clearly shown that, even if you drive at, or below, the speed limit, you will still get fined. As he says “They’re stealing from the public. It’s highway robbery.” Now, if anyone believes that the system is somehow, magically, “different” here is Australia then please, we welcome you to tell us how. And, if not, then why doesn’t every person reading this e-mail have our licence saving e-book which show you, step-by-step, how to protect yourself against these fundamentally flawed stealing devices?

We urge you, if you’re not yet a Member or you know anyone – friends, family, work colleagues, anyone who drives a car in Australia – who isn’t yet a Member, then please go to our Memberships’ page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now!

– Important info from a former Police officer

We received the following e-mail from a former police officer a few days ago and we thought that the information was very relevant to our Members and Subscribers and therefore, we have included it for you below.

Have just come across your website.

In Victoria, not every police member has received training in the use of hand-held or moving-mode radars. Without this training they are not authorised to use the equipment – this lack of training does not prevent them from using the radar; it only means that if they issue a speeding ticket and the recipient chooses to challenge it then the fine will be automatically withdrawn by Victoria Police. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of tickets issued are not challenged as Joe Citizen does not know any better. Police management do not care as tickets are still being issued and money collected.

This applies more so to regional areas, where it is not always logistically possible to take police members off the road to train them. Also, if they are trained in the use of one type of radar they may not be trained in another – but this will not stop them from using it.

In the Mildura-Robinvale-Swan Hill-Kerang district I can tell you that only a few general duties officers were trained (most weren’t trained, some were trained in one but not the other, only a couple were trained in both – the only exception being highway patrol who were trained in both). Personally I was not trained in either and I issued tickets numbering in the hundreds. There are police members from other Victorian regions who are the same. All of these tickets are technically invalid and could legally be withdrawn if contested – demerit points have been lost, hundreds of thousands of dollars paid that shouldn’t have been paid.

Some law firm will make a substantial amount of money when they are given this information as they will have the legal means to invalidate thousands of tickets. Logic tells me that it will also most likely apply to other states – all policing organisations are stretched to the limit in terms of training, resources etc. However we are at the stage whereby management need to take some accountability and train members. Also, training can not happen retrospectively – so if the member wasn’t trained/accredited at the time of issuing the ticket then the ticket is invalid.

Justice Crusader – Vic.

Firstly, we would like to extend a very big Thank You to this particular person for taking the time to send us this detailed information. We certainly appreciate what a big decision it is to come forward with controversial information such as this, and even more so, admitting that they did these things themselves.

Secondly, even though this ex-police officer writes from his experience in Victoria, it would be crazy for anyone to think that the same or similar practices don’t happen in every other state of Australia.

So, as is clearly stated here, if you just blindly “pay up” you have no hope of ever defeating a fine. However, if you challenge a fine, here is yet another strategy that can help you defeat the next unjust and unlawful fine you receive.

– The first bumper sticker photos are in

Many of you will recall our recent e-mail where we challenged people to send in stories or, preferably, photos of some interesting or unique places that they had “come across” or seen one of our bumper stickers. Well, the first few reports and photos have come in and if you would like to see some absolutely classic photos then please click the following link – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/bumper-stickers-business-cards/ – and scroll down.

Again, we remind you that we cannot condone any of our members placing stickers in locations such as this, however, we know a lot of our members and Subscribers get a few stickers from us and hand them out to friends and family and they obviously have no control over where some of these people place our stickers. In fact, as the following Member reports, if you see someone doing the wrong thing, you should try your best to stop them:

If you go to Google maps go to the overpass at Tyagarah that takes you to Mullum. Facing south the HP sit behind the wall and rope drivers in ALL day sometimes.

If you travel about a k south from there, cross the double bridges and go on for about 400 meters (right opposite the entrance to Tyagarah road) you’ll see some excellent pulling over spots they use to bust the drivers. Well i saw a bloke today manage to place four stickers on signs in view of where the hapless motorist are taxed, sorry, booked…I tried to get the number plate of the car…but he was too far away!! I cant remember what make of car it was or what colour. Maybe brown? Of purple-Hmmm just cant remember!!!

So, if you happen to stumble across one of our stickers in an interesting or unusual location then please let us know and, if you can, get a photo and send it through to us so we can upload it to our website. If anyone needs any more stickers or business cards to hand out then please just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some straight out for you at no charge.

– Latest Testimonials

As with most weeks, we have received a number of new Testimonials from more Members, this past week, who have successfully used our information to defeat unjust and unlawful fines.

Our first testimonial is very comprehensive and explains, in detail, the exact arguments this Member used to win his case in court. For anyone who has read any negative crap about us on the internet or on forums, please take note of the following – the strategies and techniques that we detail in our e-book work exactly as we say they do. Oh, and for anyone who’s worried about the ‘cost” of taking a fine to court, you will note that this Member not only won his case but was awarded $700 in costs!

Hi All

It appears that I have had some success it dealing with a speed camera fine, used the non compliance with National Measurement Institute issue, the Magistrate’s reply “well that is interesting”.

I then put forward that the evidence produced ( a photograph ) could not be used as the method used to render it secure was no longer appropriate as the Md5 code had been compromised, The prosecutor asked me to provide proof that the photo had been altered, I explained that I was not claiming that the photo was altered, I was claiming the prosecution could not claim with any certainty that it had not been tampered with and therefore it could not be used it evidence and therefore there was no evidence of the alleged offence.

The Magistrate asked what evidence I had that the MD5 code was not secure, I produced 17 pages of information from the internet and offered to read them to the court, the Magistrate said that won’t be necessary we will be here all afternoon, can you tender them as evidence I said yes. The Clark gave them to the Magistrate he thumbed through them, he said to the Prosecutor and what have you to say about this, (and this is the good part that shows what whole lot of b/s this all is) I was not aware of this evidence your Honor the Police withdraw.

The Magistrate said to me you are free to go, I said excuse me your Honor there is the matter of costs, the Prosecutor stood up and said we will not pursue costs,( arrogant so and so) I said I am pursing costs this has taken 2 years of wasted time and money on my part your Honor The Magistrate said do you have a total and of course I did and it was passed to him it was total of $700.25, this seem to be reasonable I award costs to the defendant to paid within 14 days.

So I guess if you get it right in court you can win, if you want to publish this you can but only use my first name, this not a transcript so there is no copy right issue, so I found out there is no transcript (very convenient) however it is a very accurate account of the proceedings.

Cheers

Bob – S.A.

Please, if you don’t understand what the “National Measurement Institute issue” is or the “MD5 code” – as thsi Memebr calls them – then get a copy of our e-book straight away because it is all explained, in detail and in simple to understand English, right there.

Our second testimonial is from one of our very early, active and passionate Members from South Australia. This lady has been on Today Tonight and the authorities over there must be shaking in their boots now, whenever she fights one of her fines. Here’s her latest report:

Hi ASF,

My recent good news – Mitcham Council dropped their last car parking fine – after sending it for enforcement where I stated I had requested a court date if they refused to accept my appeal, they then wrote saying something like they had tried to bring it under the wrong grounds and were dropping it! What a surprise.

Best wishes

Bridget – S.A.

And finally, here’s yet another Member who defeated an unjust and unlawful speeding fine

Hi mate,

Thanks for all your help, the case has now been dropped! Haa haa.

Just goes to show, if you play them by their own game, and draw out the process as long as possible there’s a good chance, they can’t remember
details of the alleged offence! .

That’s saved me $300 and 3 points, I’m happy for use to use my comments as a reference also!

Cheers.

If the following articles don’t get you angry enough to take decisive action to learn about and stand up for your rights – and then encourage your friends, family and co-workers to do the same – then we really don’t know what will.

– Rogue Police caught breaking the law

Our opening story, this week, concerns those who have been charged with the task of keeping you “honest” on our roads. However, as you will soon see, the obvious question is, who’s keeping them honest?

The following story, from Melbourne’s Herald Sun – entitled “Rats in the Ranks” – details how one police officer a week is breaking the law yet these very same officers are then turning around and booking you for exceeding some arbitrary speed limit by a few k’s. You can read the full sordid details for yourself here – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/rats-in-ranks-caught-committing-crimes/story-fn7x8me2-1226040666734

Quite simply, you wouldn’t want a pedophile looking after your children so why would you want corrupt, criminals A) looking after your so-called “safety” and/or B) issuing you with fines for things that you had supposedly done “wrong”. Something doesn’t quite add up here.

In fact, it’s even worse in WA because, as the following story shows, the exact same officers that are issuing you with a speeding ticket one minute are then turning around and lying about their own speeding ticket the next. Check out this story for yourselves – https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/police-accused-of-lying-to-avoid-speeding-fines/story-e6frg13u-1226036439711 – the title really does say it all. If only these officers had our e-book, they could have avoided the fine and kept their job!

Now, here’s the kicker. As one of our Members recently pointed out, if you get charged with a minor speeding offence, it is deemed to be a criminal matter – now, the reality is that there is no victim so there can be no crime and thus, it is not criminal but that is best left for the e-book itself to detail. However, the point is that police are charged with speeding offences all the time – this article says as much – but that would mean they have been charged with criminal offences. So, as the first story details and this second story confirms, what has happened to truth, honesty and integrity in our Police forces? It seems to be that you can have a criminal record and still be a cop – so, when did that all change???

As we said above, at worst, you have corrupt criminals supposedly keeping you “in line” and handing out fines and, at best, you have police Members who are either unwilling or unable to think for themselves and blindly buying into their brainwashing that speed causes accidents and just hand out tickets as blindly as most people pay them! Either way, it’s a no win situation for the safe, responsible and law abiding motorist!

– NSW speed camera rollout goes on

Again, the title of the following article really does say it all – https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw-speed-camera-rollout-goes-on-despite-premiers-protests/story-e6freuy9-1226040206968 – the cameras will still be installed despite the Premier himself protesting. This gives you a true concept of who’s really in charge here, doesn’t it?  Seriously, if the Premier of a State has no control over what is going on in his own “backyard” then something is very wrong!

As with many of these articles, have a look at the poll on the left hand side which, when we last checked it, showed that 88% of voters believe that these cameras are just for revenue raising. Once again, if 88% of the population believes that speed cameras are just there to raise revenue and have nothing to do with road safety and this is supposed to be a democracy, then why on earth are they installing more – what the hell happened to the Will of The People???

The closing line of this article is, as usual, completely false and misleading. Firstly, almost every time they do a proper investigation into speed cameras, they find them to be faulty – let’s not forget the Westgate Bridge cameras, in Melbourne, that were turned off indefinitely or the Western Ring Road cameras that were not only turned off but millions of dollars worth of fines were actually refunded to Victorian motorists!  Secondly, as reports from all around the globe have shown, when speed cameras are removed, the speeds do not increase and the number of accidents has actually been shown to decrease.

If you haven’t seen these statistics yet for yourself, we would urge you to go to our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – and read the various studies, articles and reports that we have included there – oh, and don’t forget to add your signature to our petition too.

– Police Minister backs Eastlink Cameras

Speaking of faulty cameras and having them turned off, look no further than the most lucrative cameras in the country – the Eastlink cameras in Melbourne. These cameras are notorious for detecting people – including police officers – at the wrong speed and yet they continue to be allowed to operate and book completely innocent motorists.

It’s interesting that the “assurance” from the police minister that these cameras are “accurate” is exactly the same assurance they gave motorist in Melbourne – right before they turned off the Western Ring Road cameras and refunded millions of dollars back to motorists who had been found to have been unjustly fined!

Once again, the poll on the left hand side shows some 80% of motorists saying they think there are too many speed cameras in Victoria. What we find to be totally incredulous is the suggestion that only 1 in 1000 drivers were fiend in 2010. Hang on a minute, something, once again, does not add up. If “speed kills” as they keep saying, and “every k over is a killer” and 1 in every 1000 drivers is “speeding’ then surely the road toll would be in the hundreds of thousands each year!

Oh, and hang on, speed cameras are a deterrent too and stop motorists form speeding, don’t they? So, again, why are there still so many speeding if there are so many cameras and they are all effective????

Complete and utter garbage!!!

And, let’s not forget the most important factor regarding these particular cameras – the Police training manuals themselves state that cameras are only to be used in known blackspot areas, however, the Eastlink cameras were installed before the road even opened – What the????

So, if you have a fine from Eastlink or you know anyone that does, please direct them to our website straight away because there are just so many angles for beating those fines.

– Parking fine technology

And finally, this week, we have yet another story of the ever growing trend to issue more unjust and unlawful parking fines – when will these councils learn that they have no authority under the Constitution and therefore, no lawful authority at all, to issue fines of any kind?

Here’s the latest story from Today Tonight, which details the new cameras that can issue parking fines to motorists without the need for any human interaction at all. We won’t even start on how that is against every natural right we have – that is all detailed in the e-book.

We will, however, suggest that you watch this story – https://aca.ninemsn.com.au/article/8238579/parking-fine-technology – and then, in addition to the information in Chapter 9 of our e-book, which details why these councils have no authority to issue fines, you can also look up Chapter 6 which explains how to have any such photo immediately dismissed as evidence due to the flawed MD5 algorithm argument.

The other key to this system is that it involves the camera operator typing in the correct time limit for each area that he/she goes into. We have lost track of the number of stories where a speed camera operator has put in the wrong speed limit for a section of road and thus, issued incorrect, unjust and unlawful fines to a number of motorists on that day. Now, imagine having to input the correct time limit for multiple areas every day – the opportunity for problems and mistakes is infinite!

And here’s another story along the same lines – https://www.theage.com.au/victoria/sensors-to-create-parkingfine-windfall-20110420-1doeq.html  As if it’s not bad enough that the council stole almost $34 million dollars from completely innocent motorists without authority to do so, they now want to rake in an extra $11 million – after costs!

What is everyone in Melbourne doing to allow the council – which has no lawful authority – to create confidential reports that will “not be released to the public”? Does this not confirm, once and for all, that this is A) just plain and simply revenue raising and B) that these councils are just private entities that have no transparency or accountability to the motoring public?

When will people finally take notice and take a stand for their rights and fight every single one of these ridiculous, ineffective, unjust and unlawful fines? Please, we urge you, do what the guy below did and fight your parking fines – they are some of the simplest fines to defeat!

– Latest Testimonials

Finally, this week, we have received yet another testimonial from a Member who has successfully used our information to defeat an unjust and unlawful parking fine.  Please see below:

Hi there guys,

Cop this true story – I received a parking fine from the city of Perth for parking my motorcycle in a car parking bay on the street directly out side the show I was in.

Question the parking ticket issuer about this and I was informed that the city of Perth has 1 in 25 parking bays dedicated to motorcycles and it is an offence under the city of Perth for motorcycle to parking in a car parking bay.

I wrote a very nasty letter to the parking authority pointing out the following:

1/ The city of Perth has a policy in place that states 1 in 25 parking bays will be for motorcycles. On going back and counting the bays the average in Perth was 1 in 57 parking bays was for motorcycles, they breached there own policy.

2/ I then pointed out the Australian Constitution does not recognise the council and thus they fines was given out illegally
.
Answer received was very short

1/ The fine has been waved
2/ Do not speak of this incident to anyone.

Hence I have told every person I know and then some.

Sincere thanks for the tips on beating the fines. Now I have centered all my efforts onto the speed cameras. And again thanks guys for the help I hope I do not need the advices (touch wood). Though my wife was caught by a road side speed camera. I had her stop and I got out with the trusty camera and began taking photos of the radar set up, directly under a road sign, facing into trees. As I was taking the photos the operator got out of his car and asked what I was doing. I explained that I was taking photos of the radar set as I was going to fit this in court.

He firstly asked for my camera which he did not get and he then very quickly packed up his camera and left. This occured approx 6 months ago and the wife has not heard a thing from them even though the radar camera flashed her.

Thanks

Stay safe out there,

– Intro

Well, as you can see from the outline above, this week’s e-mail update has a bit of everything, another death that was caused by a speed camera, evidence of tampering with fines, more unjust and unlawful parking fines being handed out and, something very special, a new “competition”, of sorts, for our Members and Subscribers to get involved in and have a bit of fun with.

So, without further ado, let’s get straight into it.

– Motorcyclist killed by speed camera program

Our first and most shocking story, this week, comes out of the UK, where a motorcyclist was killed after spotting a speed camera. You can read the full story here – https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1375340/Motorcyclist-death-skid-Bournemouth-spotting-speed-trap.html – and you will see that, quite simply, it was the fact that he braked sharply, after seeing a speed camera, that directly contributed to his death.

Now, whilst some might argue that he was speeding and this suggestion is even made in this article, there is no evidence that was the case and there was no statement from the police to that effect. What was noted, however, was that if the motorcyclist didn’t know it was a 50 mph zone, he could have easily been forgiven for thinking that it was a 70 mph zone instead.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day, whether or not this particular motorcyclist was over the speed limit or not is irrelevant, his life was taken by a speed camera and not saved by it. In fact, as the first comment below the story shows, speed cameras have not made this road any safer at all – exactly like ours here in Australia. The rest of the comments at the end of this story are also well worth reading as they make a lot of sense.

As we have been saying for many years now, speed cameras cause far more accidents than they save and this is backed up by research from around the world. We urge you to visit our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to have all speed and red light cameras removed – and to add your signature

– How to go faster and not get demerit points

If you needed any more proof – other than the story above and link to our on-line petition page – that speed cameras have absolutely nothing to do with road safety and everything to do with revenue raising, check out this story, also out of the UK – https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1375049/New-speed-camera-guidelines-allow-drivers-86mph-escape-fines.html

In an effort to extract that little bit extra revenue from their motorists – to “fund more cameras or reactive decommissioned ones” – they are now allowing drivers to exceed the speed limit by 16 mph – which equates to 25 km/h – and not receive any points off their licence.

Yes, you read that correctly, you can exceed the speed limit by 25km/h – which, in most states of Australia would cause you to immediately lose your licence – but not actually incur any demerit points, but instead, pay a 100 pound “course fee” – which goes back into funding more speed cameras.

So, here’s a couple of questions for those who doubt the principles of Aussie Speeding Fines and question our motives and/or what we stand for. How exactly are British motorists different to motorists in Australia? If we are consistently taught that “Speed Kills” and “Wipe off 5 to save lives” – and other similar garbage –  how can the “powers that be” in Britain essentially say that it is now safe to exceed the speed limit by the equivalent of 25 km/h??? We truly look forward to any responses that any Police Members, government officials, lawyers or Magistrate’s would like to send us!

Many of our roads are newer than in Britain, they are certainly wider and more open that they are in Britain, our cars are very similar, with the same capabilities, safety standards etc. so how can it possibly be safe – which is what they are saying with this new legislation – to speed by 25 km/h in Britain but, here in Australia – where they are now trying to bring in zero tolerance levels – it is somehow unsafe to do a few k’s over? – what a joke!

Unfortunately, the only people laughing are the government bean counters – all the way to the bank!!!

So please, if these kinds of “double standards” and false and misleading advertising infuriates you as much as it does us then please do something about it. Get everyone you know to go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.

Then, spend some time reading over our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – to see what we are really all about and what we are ultimately trying to achieve.

– Data on thousands of Victorian fines changed

Also, of great concern, is the following article out of Melbourne – https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/breaking-news/data-on-thousands-of-victorian-fines-changed/story-e6freonf-1226038666857 – which shows that some 67,000 fines were altered in 2010 and 2011.

Of course, the police are saying that none of these changes affected any of the fines that were issued but, hey, the Police say things all the time that aren’t true, why should we believe them now? After all, they swore black and blue that the fines issued by the Westgate Bridge cameras and the Western Ring Road cameras were all 100% accurate – right up until they turned them off and refunded millions of dollars worth of fines!!!

Far more importantly though, it proves, beyond any doubt that evidence can be tampered with and this is the whole point of our flawed MD5 algorithm argument – which you can use to have any photo from a speed or red light camera – in fact, any photo that is proposed as evidence against you at all – dismissed and disallowed as evidence.

Again, if you don’t understand the flawed MD5 algorithm argument or you don’t know how to apply it to your fine then grab a copy of our e-book and read Chapter 6 ASAP.

– Hundreds of illegal parking fines refunded

Our final story, this week, again comes from Melbourne, where there is a huge push by Melbourne City Council to “slug an extra $25 million from motorists over the next 4 years”, of course, it’s not about revenue raising though, is it??? Read the following story and decide for yourself – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/drivers-face-25m-parking-trap/story-fn7x8me2-1226038768407

Now, of far more importance than the projected increase in parking fines – which they do constantly – is the admission that “hundreds of parking fines have been handed out illegally over more than a decade due to bureaucratic bungling.” They even admit that the parking inspectors themselves were “horrified” to find out that what they were doing was illegal.

Well, guess what, it’s not just multiple fines for a vehicle in the same spot that is illegal, it is the issuing of all fines by local councils. If you have not yet read last week’s e-mail – which details, once and for all, in irrefutable  terms, why councils have no authority to issue these fines – then please go back and read it. Then, be sure to thoroughly read Chapter 9 of our e-book which breaks it down even further and makes it all but impossible for them to uphold any council issued fine. Please keep in mind that we have received Testimonials from people who had fines issued to them for un-registered dogs and the like who have successfully adapted this information to defeat those unjust and unlawful fines.

– Latest Testimonials

Speaking of testimonials, here are the latest ones we received this week. Our first one is very important because it stresses what we so desperately try to get through to the general motoring public – our e-book is about far more than just avoiding and defeating unjust and unlawful fines, it is there to inform and educate you as to your rights and hopefully, to inspire you to stand up for them at every opportunity, just like the following Member did.

Its just after 10.30 at night on a Sunday. Not much traffic on the road as I travel back from Rockhampton. Come around a corner and get slowed right down by an old bashed up ford dragging a equally crappy boat on a trailer that looks like it came out of the ark. Just gave my Holden ute a bit of a touch and away we went out around the old ford and off down the road.

Bloody hell you wouldn’t believe it, a damn police car and here I am doing 117 so I could pass that old bag of shit. Cops  do a screaming u turn put on the lights and sirens and come after me going at a great rate of knots. They would have to be doing 170 klm per hour to catch up so fast. They are just back behind me with their lights and sirens going so I move to the left to let them pass if they so desire.

Have travelled about ten kilometres now with the cops still back their waving their hands about. I am afraid I just can not hear what they are saying. Cop just pulled up beside me and told me to pull over. I will just have to find a place that I consider that is safe to stop. Drove another seven kilometres and found a place to stop, pull off the road. Cop ( Passenger ) has got out of car wearing his jack boots and little poofter hat. He comes up to the side of my car and gets a little excited, asks me why I didn’t stop when I saw the lights and heard the sirens. I asked him when a set of lights and sirens where a lawful command. He looked stupid and asked me what I meant. I told him that lights and sirens are warning devices and not lawful commands and until he had told me to pull over I had not received a lawful command.

He walked away. He came back with a bit of a smug look on his ugly face. He said “why didn’t you stop when I gave you a lawful command?”  He thought he had got me , I said “I did, when I found a place I considered safe.” Now what the hell do you want? I was starting to get a bit pissed off by now they were wasting my time. He finely asked me if I had a reason for speeding and I replied what when was I speeding. “No sorry mate I don’t think I was speeding.” He is starting to get really pissed off by no . He said you were doing 117 kilometres an hour. I said “I was, hell can you prove that?” He went all red in the face and mumbled some thing I couldn’t understand.

After a few more words and grunts coming from constable smart arse, he walked back to the police car and spoke to his mate. Within a few minutes he was back handing back my licence . Never said another word just hopped back in the car and they drove off. Bit of a bastard really I was not finished with them. My next thing would have been section 23 of the criminal code and after that I would have had a go with section 24 – Mistake of fact. Any way it has been over six months now and no fine has arrived.

Peter

Now, to our way of thinking, that is pretty much the ultimate testimonial. This Member clearly understands his rights and stood his ground and made is clear to the cops that he knew what he was talking about and avoided having them even issue a fine, right from the outset.

And finally, the following isn’t really a testimonial, as such, although this Member did successfully get the Sheriff off his property without having any action taken against him, however, what really made our day was the bit about the Aussie Speeding Fines bumper sticker on the Sheriff’s car.

Yes, sheriff was here talking to me about unpaid fines but told him I was on workcare, meaning no community based orders. While he was here, I  put one of your bumper stickers on his car as he drove off –  lol – wonder how long it will stay on for?

David

Now, before we get a hundred aggressive e-mails back about this Testimonial, please note that we do not and cannot condone this sort of behaviour – after all, no-one has a right to put a sticker on your vehicle – such as sticking a parking ticket to your windscreen, for example – so please don’t think that we endorse this in any way. We simply found it to be very amusing and we thought that many of you reading this would too. So, if you did, please read the next section entitled Great new “competition” for our Members. If you didn’t find it humorous then it’s probably best to just skip the next section.

Please note that we have now had so many Members e-mail us with stories of success over the past few years that we have had to split our Testimonials into two separate pages now.  You can view the latest ones at – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/

– Great new “competition” for our Members

Now, first and foremost, we have to be upfront and honest, this is not a competition, as such – hence why we referred to it as a “competition”. We do not want to get caught up in any controversy over competition rules and regulations so it may simply be best to refer to it as a bit of a game that we thought some of our Members and Subscribers might like to play – there are no real prizes at the end of the day, just the satisfaction that your feedback or photo was the best.

As many of you know, we now provide bumper stickers and business cards to our Members and Subscribers, at no cost, so they can help us spread the word about our website and our e-book – there are further details of this in the following section for those of you who are interested.

Over the past few years, since we have made these available, we have heard all sorts of stories from people who have noticed some of these stickers in some pretty interesting places – such as the back of the Sheriff’s car, as detailed in the section above. We have heard that our stickers have been placed on speed limit signs, stop signs and other prominent signs out on the roads.

Again, we must re-iterate that our stickers are only designed to be placed on the bumper bar or rear windscreen of your car or truck and/or handed out to friends, family and co-workers to do the same. We certainly cannot condone the placement of these stickers in public places or on another person’s vehicle, without their consent.

Now, having said that, we, of course, have no control over what people do with our stickers and where they place them once they get them so we thought it might be fun to see who found one of our stickers or business cards that had, perhaps, not just been placed on a bumper bar or rear windscreen and had, maybe, made it’s way to a more interesting place.

So, we thought we might throw it open to our Members to either e-mail us with a description or, even better, send a photo of an unusual, interesting or fun place that they came across one of our stickers or cards and send it in to us and we will try and get our web guys to create a new page and put some of these photos up there. Again, we certainly wouldn’t want people to place a sticker somewhere illegal themselves and then just take a photo, this is only if you happen to “stumble across one” – as we know that there are quite a few thousand of them out there now.

We look forward to your feedback on this new idea as well as some interesting e-mails and photos.

Stay safe out there,

– Speed camera weapon of mass destruction

There’s a new speed camera in town and it can catch 8 motorists a minute – which equates to $72,000 an hour in revenue! The good news is there are already loopholes that you can exploit – just like with all other unjust and unlawful traffic fines – to beat it.

Check out the following story for further details – https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/9132701/consumer/speed-camera-weapon-mass-destruction  You can also use this link – https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13638606/ASF%20-%20Speed%20Cameras%20-%20Weapons%20of%20Mass%20Destruction%20-%20TT.flv

Please note that this camera is already being used in Victoria and New South Wales and is now being introduced into Western Australia – as this report states, fines are set to triple across the country!

Please keep an ear out – about a third of the way through this story – for a statement that suggests that current speed cameras can only detect one speeding motorists at a time, however, it has been proven that on many of the 3 and 4 lane freeways and highways that fixed cameras currently operate the reality is that one vehicle sets off the camera but all vehicles in the photo are actually sent a fine! This can mean that 3 or 4 vehicles can actually receive the same fine for just one car that actually set off the camera due to speeding.

You will also note that about half way through this story, they show one of these new cameras operating from a bridge over a freeway in WA where the limit drops from 100 to 80, however, their own training manuals state that they cannot use these devices within 300 metres of a change of speed sign.

This is just one of the many ways to defeat unjust and unlawful fines from speed detection devices such as this. The section 10 defence that is mentioned in this story is yet another way to defeat an unjust and unlawful fine. There are obviously many more detailed strategies in our e-book.

The most important quote from this entire story, however, comes right at the end where Philip Stewart states that “The time has probably never been better for a motorist to attempt to get out of a traffic infringement notice ….” He further states that “too many motorists are unaware that they have a right to fight” and this is proven by the number of Aussie Speeding Fines Members that are now successfully defeating fines such as this – please see our Latest Testimonials section below. Armed with our simple, step-by-step- strategies – that have been tried and tested for well over 7 years now – the chance of defeating an unjust fine is increased considerably.

So, if you’re not yet a Member then we would urge you to please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now. And please remember that, as a Member, you not only get a copy of our licence saving e-book but you also get unlimited access to e-mail support for life as well as updates for life at absolutely no additional cost!

Furthermore, you have a full 30 days to read over our information and try it out for yourself and, if you don’t believe that it is everything we say it is, and more, then we will simply give you your money back. So, with these new “super cameras” coming to an area near you, on top of the horrendous number of flawed and faulty cameras already stealing your hard earned money, just think how much you’ll have to gain by becoming a Member today and having our information at the ready, before you get a fine, for the rest of your motoring years!

– Speed cameras under scrutiny by Auditor-General

Naturally, the introduction of the new “super cameras” referred to in the previous story has caused great concern for many motorists so, what are the “powers that be” doing to help people feel a little better about the inevitable increase in revenue raising? They release stories like this – https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/speed-cameras-under-scrutiny-by-auditor-general/story-e6freuy9-1226035388225 – so that people are fooled into believing that the government is listening to them.

About the only true statement we could find in this story is “Motorists have genuine concerns speed cameras have become cash cows.” As for the ridiculous line that “This audit will provide motorists with the assurance that speed cameras are in places where they improve road safety – not just raise revenue,” – we will leave that to the intelligent and informed readers of this e-mail to see straight through!

– The Truth about Parking Fines

We have received a number of e-mails this past week with people questioning parking tickets and the strategies that we use to successfully defeat them. One Member even suggested that there was a case from Victoria that disproved our statement that local councils are not recognized under the Constitution and therefore have no authority to issue parking fines at all.

So, let’s break this down into sections so that it becomes crystal clear for everyone and is stated in irrefutable terms. First and foremost, if you go to our About Parking Fines page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/truth-about-fines/about-parking-fines/ – you can read some general information about parking fines and how to defeat them and you will note that we have an entire chapter in our e-book dedicated to defeating parking fines.

On of the key points in that chapter relates to question 3 of the 1988 Referendum – which asked The People of Australia if they would like the Constitution to be amended to allow for the establishment and continuance of local government. The People voted a resounding “No” and, as is confirmed by a recent letter from the Attorney General’s Office – which can be downloaded here – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/attachments/3/Attorney%20General%201988%20referendum%20letter%20K%20T.JPG – this motion was not carried and therefore, local governments were banned from being established or allowed to “continue”. The Constitution of this country is written in clear and imperative terms and that which is not granted by it is automatically denied.

Accordingly, local councils have no lawful authority. So, to try and get around this, various States around the country unlawfully attempted to enact a number of Local Government Acts. Now, the first issue is that none of these acts contain the preamble, ”Be it enacted by the Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty” – which they are required to and secondly, you will note that, no matter which state you live in, the Local Government Act that they refer to was enacted after 1988, contrary to the will of The People, making it entirely invalid.

Remember what we wrote in one of our recent e-mail updates below:

Please understand the following – “Common expressions such as: ‘The Courts have declared a statute invalid’,” says Chief Justice Latham, “sometime lead to misunderstanding. A pretend law made in excess of power is not and never has been a law at all. Anybody in the country is entitled to disregard it. Naturally, he will feel safer if he has a decision of a court in his favour, but such a decision is not an element that produces invalidity in any law. The law is not valid until a court pronounces against it – and thereafter invalid. If it is beyond power it is void ab initio” – Uniform Tax Case HCA (High Court of Australia) 1942 (65 CLR 373 at 408).

So, a pretend law or Act, such as any so-called Local Government Act, can be completely and lawfully ignored!

And finally, reference has been made to a case in Victoria “Smart v City of Greater Geelong” as somehow being proof that this argument doesn’t work. Now, firstly, this case was not argued with all the information from the Aussie Speeding Fines e-book – in fact, the case is from 2005, some 2 years before we even existed – and Mr Smart was not privy to the additional information that has been uncovered since then.

And, finally, if you still have any doubt about this, we would direct you to the following web page and the Minutes of Meeting of that very same council – https://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/common/Public/Documents/8cdb8f9c572ecde-Council%20Minutes%20-%2022%20March%202011.pdf  Specifically, scroll down to Section B – Reports, Sub-Section 10, pages 42 – 44 where that very same council, The Greater Geelong City Council, by their own discussions and minutes of those discussions, admit that they are not recognized under the constitution and that this is clearly an issue and two separate attempts to rectify this have failed!

Furthermore, nothing will be addressed on this issue until 2013 so there are still at least a few more years that our current strategies for successful defeating unjust and unlawful parking fines will continue to be effective.
– Latest Testimonials

Finally, this week, we have received yet another testimonial from a member who has successfully used our information to defeat an unjust and unlawful speeding fine.  Please see below:

Hi Folks,

I had a court preliminary hearing today having pleaded not guilty to the Gatsometer Radar 24 reading of an alleged speed of 64 in a 60 zone with no previous recorded offences and with a driving experience of 52 years. I had done all my preparation for the case and had a Summary Case Conference in the prosecutor’s office on the day of the case.

I stood my ground and said I was happy to go to court because I had enough evidence for reasonable doubt. The officer suggested that we have a predetermination hearing before the Magistrate as it was not recorded and anything said could not be used in evidence later so I agreed. She also said that a previous case involving a higher speed had been dismissed. The evidence was presented by the prosecution and the Magistrate said that he would dismiss the case but I would have to plead guilty so that the case could be dismissed.

I said I accepted his recommendation and the case was dismissed . No fine and no record, no points lost.

Follow the E Book and stand up for your rights

Jeff, Vic.

Stay safe out there,

– Intro

Well, last week’s e-mail certainly put things into perspective for a lot of people. It seems as though people have managed to justify not fighting back against unjust and unlawful fines in the past because it was “too hard” or they were “too busy” and, after all, it was only a “few hundred dollars”.

However, when not fighting back against a fine becomes a life and death matter, it seems as though a lot more people are waking up to the truth, getting angry and doing something about it – which is great to hear. In case you missed our lead story last week, which detailed how not fighting back against your unjust and unlawful fines can actually kill you, please see read the following article from NSW – https://www.smh.com.au/nsw/rta-bungle-blamed-for-death-20110319-1c1d0.html

– Speed Camera Controversy

Our leading story this week is an all too familiar topic of even more controversy over speed cameras. In fact, as the presenter says as he introduces the story, “It seems a day barely goes by without some new controversy over speed cameras” and today’s story is that they want to introduce a zero tolerance policy “which would make us the most heavily penalized drivers in the world”.

Go to https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video# and scroll down to “Speed Camera Controversy” – near the bottom – and check out this appalling story for yourself. If this isn’t enough to make you livid and compel you to take action and fight every fine you get then we really don’t know what will.

– Stoner bring back room for error on speeding

Following on from the story above, our next story shows that when enough people make it clear to the government that they simply will not accept these ridiculous policies, then the Government representatives are forced to make changes.

This story – https://smh.drive.com.au/roads-and-traffic/stoner-brings-back-room-for-error-on-speeding-20110330-1cgdb.html – proves that we can get these governments to take notice of the “Will of The People” and take action accordingly.

All we need now is for them to understand that they would “earn the trust of motorists” far more quickly if they brought the tolerances at least into line with Commonwealth legislation – which dictates a 10% leeway for error on speedometers.

Furthermore, if they understood that the statistics prove that most fatal crashes occur on rural roads where single cars are veering off the road and hitting solid objects, such as trees and poles, because the driver has fallen asleep because they are driving so slowly, they would see the stupidity of their second last paragraph. Also, research from around the world has shown that if the speed limits in these rural areas are lifted it will most assuredly reduce fatalities in these areas and will not mean “more deaths” as they mistakenly claim.

– Please help put an end to the Revenue Raising

Here at Aussie Speeding Fines, we are doing everything we can think of – short of giving our information away for free, which we simply can’t do because of the on-going cost of our website, updates, personalised e-mail support, continuing research etc. – to try and put an end to this ridiculous and completely ineffective system. We spend thousands of dollars through our affiliate program and our Google advertising, each and every month, to try and get our licence saving information into the hands of motorists. Unfortunately, we can’t do it all and, if you scroll down to the Facebook group, bumper stickers and business cards section below, you can see what steps you can take to help us in this endeavour.

However, having said that, this is still not enough. You see, just because people are aware of our information and what we are trying to do, this is only the first part. What we ultimately need to achieve is every person fighting back against every unjust and unlawful fine they receive. Only then, by sending a massive, united message to the government, that we have “had enough”, will they be forced to take any notice – as we just detailed in the previous section.

Please, we urge you, ensure that everyone you know gets a copy of our e-book, by going to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and then, make sure they actually use that information to fight back against every fine they get!

Also, please ask everyone you know to quickly visit our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – and to add their signature.

– Drivers dodge $57 million in fines

As our final story shows, it’s not all bad news this week. The reality is that more and more people are finding out about our website and successfully using our information to fight back against these unjust and unlawful fines. More and more people are being let of with warnings and more and more people are choosing to take a stand for their rights and fight these fines in court, if necessary.

Check out the following story for more details – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/ipad/leadfoot-drivers-dodge-57m-in-fines/story-fn6bfm6w-1226024672772 – and remember that, even when requesting to be let off with a warning, there are specific steps – which are detailed in our e-book – that can greatly increase your chances of this happening. As with most things in life, the difference between success and failure is usually in the details and our e-book details, step-by-step, exactly what you need to do from the moment you receive a ticket to have the best chance of defeating it.

To find out more specific details of how our Members have successfully used our information to defeat their fines, please see the following section.

– Latest Testimonials

Our Testimonials section is going to be a little bit different this week. First up, we have a fairly “standard” testimonial – similar to the ones we are now receiving every week or so – from one of our Members who successfully had a fine dropped by using one of our letters – just as our previous stories shows that more and more people are doing.

Hi Guys at Aussie Speeding Fines,

I recently incurred a speeding fine and decided to use your letters to object as my Husband had done so a few months back and the day before it went to trial the officer phoned him to tell him he had dropped the case FANTASTIC thanks to all your information he won!

Giselle (QLD)

Our second Testimonial though, is a little bit different. Although it does actually detail how this Member successfully avoided an unjust and unlawful fine, it shows the importance of having our information before you get a fine because, as he says in his own words, if you have our information before the fine is issued, you know exactly what to say – and what not to say – so that often a fine won’t even be issued in the first place – even for something  as “serious” as your vehicle being “un-registered”. The following is this Member’s word for word account of his recent interaction with a couple of police officers. It’s a little long but is well worth the read.

On the way to work at stupid-o-clock this morning, I drove through an amber light that went red just after my rear wheels crossed the line. About 400m later was pulled over by the constabulary for my hideous, infanticidal crime. We both alighted.

COP: [in an unusually friendly manner] Morning.. You know what I pulled you over for?

ME: Umm.. Nope.

COP: OK. Just sit back in your car a minute.

Got back in the car and just knew things were going to get interesting. Constable alights again. Seems a decent guy so far, so I won’t be too tough on him.

COP: The reason you got our attention was that you went through a red light back there.

ME: Nup. It was amber when I crossed the line and I don’t do emergency stops for amber lights.

COP: Ok.. Your car’s also unregistered.

ME: No it’s not. You got all my details by punching in the plate number, right?

COP: [suspicious] Yes..

ME: That means it’s still registered. I haven’t formally disposed of it and handed in the plates.

Cop riding shotgun (literally covered in weaponry that’s illegal in most countries) alights, tries to remove plates from car.

ME: Hey – don’t break anything. You don’t have permission to touch and trespass..

COP: It says your registration’s cancelled.

SHOTGUN COP: [still trying to steal] The plates are fake..

ME: The car’s still registered with VicRoads. So I didn’t pay the renewal fee. No law against not paying a fee..

COP: [straining] You know what I’m talking about, right?

ME: Sure, but I just didn’t pay the renewal – an extortionate 180 bucks a year for a VicRoads computer to automatically “manage” my rego. Not value for money..

SHOTGUN COP: But the plates are fake..

ME: Still the right rego number. Ever pulled anyone over for having their plates covered by pushbikes where they’ve done the right thing and written their rego on a piece of cardboard? And rego numbers painted on the back of unregisterable trailers?

COP: No, we don’t see any..

ME: [wry smile] Geez, look harder mate. The reason these plates were printed on paper is because Dandenong police thought the car was unregistered a while back and stole them, while it was parked and they still haven’t notified me. Plain and simple theft since I paid for those plates.

COP: But what about insurance?

ME: [laughing] Another form of gambling. I’ve dutifully participated in that rort for decades and never needed to use it. That’s 10 grand down the drain. Besides, rego and insurance don’t stop crashes. I’m done with the fraud guys [rolling a smoke]..

BOTH COPS: It’s not fraud..

COP: I pay rego for for my own car..

ME: Feel silly now? VicRoads has nothing to do with the law, they’re just a corporation.

COP: But they’re only trying to make a profit.

ME: Oh sure. Hardly value for money though.

Speaking amongst themselves, they quietly noted they couldn’t take my printed plates because they were my property.

COP: Ok. I still have to fine you for unregistered..

This is where I unleashed a taste of your Great Wall of Aussie Speeding Fines, having memorised it for such occasions..

ME: That’s ok, but you should understand that the Imperial Acts Application Act, Section 8 Clause 12 states that all promises of fines and forfeitures before conviction of any person are illegal and void..

COP: [trying to interject] Umm.. but..

ME: ..a Commonwealth law, which ensures that by fining me for anything will mean you’ve committed a Federal offence, and STILL have to prove a I committed a crime and then provide a victim. Then again if I have to pay any fine, I’d still have to drive to work for the money.

COP: But you really can’t drive your car. Just wait here..

They get back in their car. Less than a minute later and handing back my licence..

COP: Here.. You can’t drive your car though..

They get in their car and drive away. No fines, cavity searches, backup calls or arrests. Not even a mention of the many (9 at last count) warrants for unpaid fines. I wait ’til they’re outta sight and drive to work. Nice. Maybe just luck? In any case, I had a blast by the results. If I see a fine in the mail, a simple “Return to sender. Please remove from mailing list” which I’ve been doing for years now.

Thanks for the great work guys. You may use the above any way you like.

Olaf

Stay safe out there,

– Intro

Now, we realise that for those of you who have even bothered to open this e-mail must be thinking that we have finally lost the plot and can’t possibly be serious about the title to this e-mail – unfortunately, we’re deadly serious!

You see, any of you who are regular readers of our e-mail updates will know that our honesty and integrity are of paramount importance to us and, unlike the media, there is simply no point in us sending out sensational headlines that can’t be backed up with fact.

So, as you will see for yourself, when you read our opening story this week, not only is the information in our e-book and on our website “licence saving” but it can – admittedly, in fairly extreme situations – also be “life saving”. To find out how and why, please read on …..

– RTA bungle blamed for death

Our first story is the most extreme case of what can happen when people don’t have our information and either blindly pay a fine, or, in some other way, simply accept it. Please read this most disturbing article to find out more – https://www.smh.com.au/nsw/rta-bungle-blamed-for-death-20110319-1c1d0.html

Now, this is obviously a fairly extreme example but just stop for a minute and ask yourself how extreme it really is. You see, there are more people losing their licences every day than ever before – because more and more unjust and unlawful fines are being issued and “entities” such as the RTA, are illegally taking people’s licences off them. Therefore, being forced to ride a bicycle because you have wrongly and unjustly had your licence suspended is really not that extreme a concept at all.

And, when you look at the true road toll statistics and see how many pushbike accidents there are, you will realise that the chances of being killed or injured are again, very high. So, whilst it has been simple for us to show people how their insurance is affected when they blindly pay a fine and we have also been able to show how easy it is to lose your job because of a number of unjust fines, this is the most extreme example where, if you don’t have our information and know how to fight back against an unjust and unlawful fine, it could literally kill you.

You see, if this person had our e-book, he would have known that there were numerous steps he could have taken to easily and successfully defeat those unjust fines that were issued to him incorrectly. And, even if he hadn’t used our information to fight those fines, he would have known that, pursuant to Section 8, Sub-section 12 of the Imperial Acts Application Act, “That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction, are illegal and void”, so the fact that the RTA – or any other similar agency – had no lawful right to suspend his licence and any such suspension was of no legal force or effect.

Please understand the following – “Common expressions such as: ‘The Courts have declared a statute invalid’,” says Chief Justice Latham, “sometime lead to misunderstanding. A pretend law made in excess of power is not and never has been a law at all. Anybody in the country is entitled to disregard it. Naturally, he will feel safer if he has a decision of a court in his favour, but such a decision is not an element that produces invalidity in any law. The law is not valid until a court pronounces against it – and thereafter invalid. If it is beyond power it is void ab initio” – Uniform Tax Case HCA (High Court of Australia) 1942 (65 CLR 373 at 408).

In exactly the same way as councils have no lawful authority to issue parking fines and the like – please download a copy of the letter form the Attorney general’s office confirming this from the top of our About Parking Fines page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/truth-about-fines/about-parking-fines/ – the RTA, QLD Transport, VicRoads etc. have no lawful right to suspend your licence until a court of competent jurisdiction has first determined the matter.

In every sense of the word, this story is an absolute tragedy, but, what makes it worse is that it was a completely avoidable tragedy. Our hearts go out to this family and we urge you to please make sure that everyone you know gets a copy of our e-book, by going to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – straight away so that this never happens to anyone in Australia ever again!

– Latest speed camera video

Whilst we certainly admit that the specific scenario detailed above is fairly unique and rare, what is not unique or rare is the number of new unjust and unlawful speed camera that are being installed to fleece the innocent motorists of this country of even more of their hard earned dollars.

Please check out the video entitled “Speed Camera Flashpoint” which can be found here – https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/9062809/consumer/speed-camera-flashpoint – or may be moved to the Videos page – https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video if you don’t find it there in the next day or so.

Please understand the significance of the opening statement – the number of speed cameras will be increased by 20 times! Currently, Governments earn about $1 Billion from unjust, unlawful, inaccurate and ineffective speed camera fines, according this article that will potentially rise to $20 Billion of your hard earned money!!!

As you watch this video, listen out for some key phrases, such as:
“Speed camera errors are becoming as common as drivers complaining that cameras are simply revenue raisers.”
“Even the Magistrate hearing the case has warned, the Prosecution better not lose. The ramifications would cause a flood of other drivers to contest their own tickets.”
“The study has found that speed cameras aren’t targeting the areas that crashes occur.”
“We need to follow the UK, where the removal of speed cameras has had no effect on the road toll – and crashes have actually fallen.”

And, last, but certainly not least, the closing line of this report which sums it all up in a nutshell “The only conclusion that you can gain from that is that not only haven’t  speed cameras worked, they are quite possibly causing accidents” – which is, of course, exactly what we have been saying on our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – for some time now.

– Cameras are just Revenue Raisers

Our final story, this week, is about the study that is referred to in the previous video, from South Australia which simply states what we have known and been saying for the past 4 years that we have been operating – speed cameras are purely there to raise revenue and they have nothing  to do with road safety.

You can read more about the report from the University of Adelaide here – https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/cameras-are-just-revenue-raisers/story-fn6bqphm-1226020692021 – and you will see many similarities to the facts, statistics and suggestions that we have had on our website for years now.

In fact, if you go to our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – you will note that the majority of the recommendations that are made in this report coincide very closely with the details we are trying to achieve ourselves.

Also, be sure to add your vote and check out the results of the poll on the left hand side of the article which, when we checked it, shows that over 90% of people believe that main purpose of speed cameras is simply to “boost the Government’s bottom line.”

So, the obvious question, at this point is, if 90% of people believe that these cameras are just there for revenue raising then why haven’t we received hundreds of thousands more signatures on our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – and why isn’t 90% of the Australian motoring public fighting their fines like the Members below?

– Latest Testimonials

As regular readers of these e-mail updates – which are now sent on an almost weekly basis – would know, we receive new Testimonials from members who have successfully used our information to defeat unjust and unlawful fines, with pretty much every e-mail update we send it.

As any of you in any kind of business would know, Testimonials are one of the greatest accolades/rewards a business can receive – other than a direct referral, which we’ll get to shortly. The fact that so many of our Members have taken the time to sit down and write a few lines detailing how they have successfully defeated an unjust fine and then send that to us, rather than just being happy that they beat their fine and just get on with their lives, speaks volumes. And, the fact that our Members do this basically every week should be all you need to know that our information works exactly as we say it does, week in and week out.

Here are some of the latest testimonials we have received in the past week:

Hi Aussiespeeding fines,

After being booked for alleged exceeding the speed limit and after I said that I would challenge it in court I received a telephone call from the officer that I considered most unusual. She stated that she had run the incident past the board and it was said that they would not win against me as the officer had not recorded her speed even though she was stationary.

It appears that the police vehicle has to record its speed at 0 to be able to make an accurate calculation. If this is definitely the case then all speeding fines where the measuring vehicles speed is not recorded should be cancelled.

This is likely to be another win in the fight against illegal speeding fines.

Kind regards

George

And here’s another similar story of success with our 3 step process:

Hi Team,

I successfully used the three letter process and then court election letter and a couple of other letters recommended by the Aussie Speeding Fines team to defeat two speeding fines – both for 68 km/h – by fixed speed cameras.

The court orders illegally took away my licence and prevented me from dealing with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. In SA if you go to the Magistrates court and submit a Form 51 that takes the whole process back to the people who issued the fine in the first place ie the Police. This delays the process so 12 months can be used up and then they gave up. I submitted a Form 51 today for a second alleged offence.

Just be persistent have some fun and you will win, thanks to the Aussie Speeding Fines team.

Thank You,

Yours Sincerely

Terry (S.A.)

– Ultimate Speed Camera Showdown

Our leading story this week is one of the biggest since we’ve been operating – which, by the way, will be four years next month! The following story really does say it all.

Please take 3 minutes to watch the following video – https://au.video.yahoo.com/watch/8773582/24459604 – and take note of the start where they state that “The Magistrate hearing the case has warned authorities it’s one challenge they can’t afford to lose”. They also go onto say that it is “a case so big it could alter the fate of speed cameras in this country forever!”

If you have trouble accessing the video for any reason, you can also read the details of the case here – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/hope-for-fined-drivers-as-speed-camera-in-the-gun/story-e6frf7kx-1226018034109  Be sure to add your vote to the little poll on the left hand side which, when we checked it, showed that 96% of people no longer have faith in the accuracy of speed cameras.

It seems as though the truth – that we have been telling our Members for nigh on 4 years now – about these blatant revenue raising devices is finally about to come out. What is really surprising is that it is actually a police officer that is about to expose the truth and, even more surprisingly, everyone – including the courts and the media – is listening!

We will certainly keep all our Members and Subscribers up to date with this matter, as it unfolds. In the meantime, we would urge you all to go to our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – and add your signature so that we, The People, can also make it clear to the Government that we have had enough of this blatant revenue raising and we want to see an end to these ridiculous and completely ineffective cameras.

Also, if you want to find out more about the inherent flaws with these cameras and how you can effectively fight any current speed camera fine – or any other traffic fine, for that matter – until this case is resolved, then please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and grab a copy of our e-book which explains, step-by-step, precisely how to fight these unjust and unlawful fines.

– Drivers caught in fine mess

Speaking of inherent flaws with cameras, check out this next story from NSW, where “Thousands of innocent motorists have been caught by faulty RTA cameras and sent fines for offences they have never committed.” – https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sunday-telegraph/drivers-caught-in-fine-mess/story-e6frewt0-1226016418259

As we keep saying, one of the fundamental flaws with the whole camera system is that there is no human involvement. Scientific devices can only be used in conjunction with human involvement, not instead of. For example, you walk through a metal detector at an airport and it goes off to signify that a closer inspection is warranted, by a human. Or, the other way around, a police officer visually notices your car speeding and he estimates the speed and then uses a speed detection device to confirm that estimation. There has to be a two part process of both mechanical device and human interaction to ensure correctness. As this story clearly shows, when cameras are used, there is no human involvement and therefore, it is very easy for errors and mistakes to occur.

– Some other “must read” articles/reports

We have had a couple of very interesting articles sent to us by Members and Subscribers this week that we believe everyone should take the time to read. Although they are not “mainstream” media articles, they contain some very useful and important information.

The first report follows on from the two stories above, which show that these cameras are simply being used to raise revenue and have nothing to do with safety at all. Although this report is quite lengthy, it is well worth a read if you are interested in finding out the truth, in detail, about what really causes accidents and why the current system is actually making things worse! See the full report here – https://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/doesspeedkillrevenuebeforesafety.pdf

You will quickly see that this report mirrors most of what we say in our e-book and on our website and, in particular, backs up the statistics and suggestions that we include on our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/

The second article we were sent this week also mirrors the information in our e-book and on our website – obviously in a very abbreviated form. We have no idea who the author is but his comments are worth taking note of and we certainly appreciate his recommendation at the conclusion of the article. You can read this brief, one page article, here -https://www.flightoffire.com.au/articles/2-leading-edge-research/66-addressing-speeding-fines

As always, our thanks and appreciation go out to the Members and Subscribers who have sent us these media articles and reports.

– Latest Testimonials

Our first testimonial, this week, is from a Member who successfully defeated a speeding fine on behalf of his son, just by speaking to the Prosecution, before the matter was actually heard in court.

Hi Aussie

Just to let you guys know, we had a win today, we had a meeting with the prosecution before court which I was able to be in on with Lachlan. 

We were able to have the fine dismissed by having a fair and reasonable discussion over the matter with the valid point in our case being the red car in the foreground producing reasonable doubt.  They came back to us with an offer of plead guilty, case proven then it was dismissed, no fine no record and as yet no points.

I think Lachlan’s good record and the way in which we presented ourselves helped a lot also.  So thank you for your help with this matter.

Kind regards

Greig (Vic.)

Here’s a testimonial from another Member who defeated an unjust speeding fine without even mentioning court – all he did was ask for a photo! Clearly, as we detailed in the articles at the start of this e-mail, someone realised that the fine was not correct. However, imagine, as Les says below, how many people – who don’t yet know about us – would have just blindly paid the fine as soon as they received it.

Dear Aussie Speeding Fines

Just letting you know I received a speeding fine from the SA police on the 18/01/11. I knew I wasn’t driving at the time so I requested a photograph the day after I received the fine. I never received the photograph and thought I would either have to fight it or pay the late fee. But to my surprise I received a letter withdrawing my expiation notice. Just shows you a simple request for a photograph can get you off.

Thanks to Aussie Speeding Fines, as if I received a fine before I would just have automatically payed it.

Keep up the good work

Les (S.A.)

And finally, here’s a short one from yet another Member who has successfully beaten an unjust and unlawful parking fine.

Hi aussiespeedingfines,

My case today was withdrawn by the council.

Your help was quick, accurate and understanding.

Yes, we can have our day in court with little if not any cost to yourself.

Thank you, I was amazed, yes aussiespeedingfines works!

Andrew

We would urge everyone to fight every parking fine they receive because, as per the letter from the Attorney General’s Office, which you can download from the top of our About Parking Fines page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/truth-about-fines/about-parking-fines/ – no local council in this country is recognized under our Constitution. Therefore, they cannot lawfully issue any fines!

And please remember, it’s not just speeding fines and parking fines that our e-book can help you defeat, it is all unjust and unlawful traffic fines. In fact, if you take the time to read through our two full pages of testimonials –
https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – you will see that we have even helped people avoid unjust fines for failure to wear a bike helmet, unjust fines for failing to have a tram ticket and even an unjust fine for un-registered dogs!

Once you understand the Aussie Speeding Fines principles, you can apply them to many different types of fines. At the end of the day, our goal is to educate people and empower them to stand up for their rights and to fight for justice – without spending thousands of dollars on lawyers.

As they say, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for life.” This is why you only ever pay a  very minimal once off fee and that entitles you to free updates for life as well as unlimited e-mail support for life as well. As the testimonial above states “Your help was quick, accurate an understanding” – that’s what we’re here for!

– Facebook group, bumper stickers and business cards

So, if you’re not yet a Member or you know someone who isn’t then please go to our Memberships page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.

Then, once you’ve done that, please be sure to add your signature to our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to have these ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising devices removed from our roads and pass this link onto everyone in your contact list so they too can add their signature.

More Info From Dr Brittain and More Important Videos!

– Latest responses from Dr Brittain regarding speed detection devices

Well, it’s been another busy week here at Aussie Speeding Fines. We have had a number of new media articles sent to us – which we will get to shortly – but we have also had a number of updated e-mails from Dr Brittain, which again confirm that no speed measuring device currently in use anywhere in Australia has received pattern approval or complies with Section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960. Please see the latest responses from Dr Brittain below.

Dear Mr Pinschof,

I refer to your e-mail of 22 February 2011 and I confirm as follows:

1. The abovementioned device(ROBOT TRAFFIXPAX TraffiPhot III SR with SGS certificate dated 14/10/2008 SGS ) is not exempt from the provisions of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth) including section 10;
2. There are currently no pattern approved vehicle speed measuring instruments in Australia; and
3. Any enquiry about the requirements for calibration and testing of vehicle speed measuring instruments would be best directed to the Police service using the instrument in question or the manufacture or agent of that instrument in Australia.
This e-mail is entirely without prejudice and nothing in it constitutes legal advice either express or implied.

I trust that this information satisfies your enquiry.

Yours sincerely

Richard Brittain

Dr Richard Brittain LLB
Senior Legal Metrology Policy Officer
Legal Metrology Branch
National Measurement Institute
Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research

And here’s another one:

Dear Mr D’Ambrosio,

I refer to your e-mail of 24 February 2011 sent to our NMI Pattern Approval e-mail address.  This has come to me for a response and I confirm that to date the NMI’s Chief Metrologist has not approval the pattern of any speed measuring instrument.

This e-mail is entirely without prejudice and nothing in it is intended to constitute legal advice express or implied.

I trust that this information satisfies your enquiry.

Yours sincerely

Richard

Dr Richard Brittain LLB
Senior Legal Metrology Policy Officer
Legal Metrology Branch
National Measurement Institute
Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research

Please keep in mind that, as per the WA Fisheries case that we provide in our e-book, as Justice Owen of the WA Supreme Court stated – “In my opinion, Section 10 of the National Measurement Act must be complied with when measurements are being taken for any legal purpose. The language of the section is in clear and imperative terms.”

The simple fact is that these devices do not comply with Commonwealth legislation and are therefore being used to illegally fine motorists. So, if you do not fully understand the ramifications of this information or you not sure of the exact steps to follow to use it to defeat an unjust and unlawful fine then please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now and get a copy of our e-book which explains all this in great detail.

– Video proving further camera faults

And, if the fact that none of these speed detection devices comply with Commonwealth legislative requirements wasn’t bad enough, here is yet another video exposing further speed camera faults – https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13638606/ASF%20-%20Speed%20Camera%20Faults%20-%20TT.flv – if you can’t get this link to work then please go to – https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video# – and scroll down to the video entitled “Speed Camera Faults”.
While you’re there, you may also want to look at another video – further up the list – entitled “Speed signs overwhelming drivers” which shows just how out of control and confusing the current situation is with constantly changing speed signs.

So, in summary, you have cameras that don’t comply with Commonwealth legislation, they are also clearly faulty in their operation and finally, you have constantly changing speed signs that are set up to confuse you and increase the likelihood that you will be stung with an unjust and unlawful fine. So, what can you do?

Well, the first thing you can do is go to our on-line petition page now – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to have these ridiculous revenue raising devices removed form our roads and add your signature to it. Then, you can pass this e-mail and/or our details onto everyone you know and get them to add their signature too. Then, if you really want to help make a difference and make some changes to this clearly ineffective and corrupt system, then please scroll down to the Facebook Group, Bumper Stickers and Business Cards section below.

– Traffic Cop beats fine due to confusing speed signs

As we just detailed in the section above, the constantly changing speed signs are causing confusion to motorists on a daily basis. In fact, it’s not only everyday motorists that are confused and being unjustly fines but even traffic cops themselves.

Here is s story of a traffic cop who took his fine to court and won – https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/police-officer-challenges-speeding-fine-in-county-court/story-fn6t2xlc-1226004162245

Now, this officer obviously didn’t use the Aussie Speeding Fines system, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to pay $3,000 – $4,000 but the key is that he knew the fine was unjust so he fought back and beat it and, the simple fact is, you too can do the same.

It is, of course, interesting to note – at the end of that article – that the Judge wouldn’t allow him to raise evidence that the government sees these cameras as “revenue raisers rather than life savers”. However, the good news is that if the cops themselves know this then it makes it a lot easier to defeat on-the-spot fines issued by cops.

– Brilliant report on speed cameras

One of our more active members sent us the following report entitled “Speed Traps – saving lives or raising revenue?” and, for those of you who have the time and are interested in reading an article that exposes the truth about these devices then we can highly recommend this article – https://www.carr.org.au/d-buckingham.pdf

In this article, you will read the truth about all the “Arrive Alive”, “Speed Kills” and other similar false and misleading advertising campaigns that are simply there to justify the constant fleecing of motorists under the non-existent guise of “road safety”.

Please, if you didn’t see the link in the previous section or you didn’t click it, we urge you to visit our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – and add your signature.

There is simply no getting away from one of the key points that this report makes – “The whole point of speed cameras is to increase the rate of reduction in the number of serious and fatal accidents, but the data shows the reverse.”

You will also note that at the end of this report it covers the topic of “What Can Be Done?” –to truly make our roads safer – and the answers to that question mirrors what we have been saying on our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – for nearly 4 years now.

– Coalition promises fewer speed cameras if elected

Finally, we had an interesting article that was sent to us by another Member that suggests that, in NSW, if a colation government were elected later this month, the problem with the confusing speed limits – that were referred to earlier – would be rectified, and some sped limits would even be increased in some areas, and there would be fewer speed cameras.

It sounds like pre-election hype to us but it’s certainly worth a look and you can read the full article for yourself here – https://au.news.yahoo.com/local/nsw/a/-/local/8913650/nsw-nats-vow-fewer-speed-cameras/  We would certainly commend them if they followed through with this but, as has been proven in the past, the lure of the almighty dollar always seems to win out in the end.

Speaking of which, this is why we continue to say – and are saying here again – that the only real way of putting an end to the current system is by getting everyone to fight every unjust and unlawful fine they receive because, quite simply, whilst these governments continue to rake in collectively a billion dollars a year, there is just no incentive for them to stop.

So, if you would like to help put an end to this blatant revenue raising then please take note of the information in our next section.

– Facebook group, bumper stickers and business cards

So, first and foremost, if you’re not yet a Member or you know someone who isn’t then please go to our Memberships page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.

Then, once you’ve done that, please be sure to add your signature to our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to have these ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising devices removed from our roads.

Stay safe out there,

– Problems with our server

First up this week, we would like to apologise for a few server issues we have been having. Our web guys upgraded a couple of servers and this caused a few problems with our website being down for a couple of days as well as losing our Contact Us page. Everything is back up and running again and hopefully we haven’t missed any e-mails so our apologies again for the disruption. If you e-mailed us in the past week and we haven’t replied please just send it through again and we will get onto it straight away for you.

– MacQuarie Bank takes over speed camera program

Our leading story for this week is about MacQuarie bank taking over the speed camera program. Now, if this isn’t the most crystal clear proof that speed cameras are plain and simply about revenue raising then we don’t know what is. Banks exist to make money – period. Anyone who has had any dealings with banks will know that they screw people over wherever and whenever they can with no care or concern for the consequences. If you think that the speed camera program is going to be any different then you are, quite simply, dreaming! Please read the full article for yourself here – https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw-act/macquarie-banks-new-speed-camera-deal/story-e6freuzi-1226009702557

Now, we don’t mean to be rude or offensive to anyone but the 5th line of this article says it all – “Revenue is rapidly increasing in line with the new additions, with $1.75 million worth of infringement notices sent out during the month of January, compared to $27,716 in January last year”. If you can’t see the writing on the wall and can’t see how completely out of control this revenue raising system is going to become with MacQuarie in control then you are blind and should get off the road! And, if you do see it then you need to do something about it – as the old saying goes “If you’re not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem”. So please, don’t waste another minute, get everyone you know to go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – right now.

– So-called “Safety Cameras” rake in cash

The following article has very similar figures, showing that “the revenue raked in monthly by the State Government leaping from just $40,000 to more than $1.8 million.”  You can read the full article here – https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw-act/safety-camera-snaps-rake-in-cash/story-e6freuzi-1226010350020

You will note that the article goes onto say that “old-fashioned policing was still the most effective way to keep motorists safe” which is, of course, one of the many strategies that we mention on our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/

Of greatest concern though, is the blatant lies that they spout in their closing paragraph that suggests that “Red light cameras have been shown to reduce casualty crashes at intersections by [about] 30 per cent,” yet, as any of you who have read our on-line petition page will know – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – red light cameras have been shown in studies the world over to actually increase accidents! The longer people keep buying into these lies and deceptions and continue to blindly just pay their fines, the worse things will get. Please understand that the only way to put an end to this corrupt and ineffective system – especially now that a bank is in charge – is to simply stop the money rolling in.

– Another video detailing flaws with speed cameras

It is usually at this point that we get someone saying “Well, if everyone just slowed down then they wouldn’t get fined and the bank wouldn’t make any money” and our reply is always the same, “That would only work if the cameras weren’t fundamentally flawed which, unfortunately, they are. Please see the following video, which also backs up our first story about MacQuarie Bank, for further details of some of these flaws – https://aca.ninemsn.com.au/video.aspx?vq=speed%20cameras#de39a4da-7367-4852-b6b6-83213d00c843

For those of you who are interested in investigating a little further, you will see a number of other pertinent videos listed down the right hand side that are also worth a look.

– Speed Camera Revolt

Thankfully, it’s not all bad news this week, in fact, we have a couple of stories that should again encourage people to continue fighting back. The first is a story from Melbourne and the notorious Eastlink cameras – there are so many people fighting back against these clearly faulty cameras that they have actually set up a special court just to hear all the cases!

As you can see in this article – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/great-eastlink-speed-camera-revolt/story-e6frf7kx-1226007197080 – people are sick to death of being fines for less than the 10% allowed for by Australian Design Rules and are fighting back and the system is so overwhelmed that they have had to set up a special court just to deal with all the people who are fighting back. Just imagine what would happen if we finally got every person to fight back against every unjust and unlawful fine – the system would be completely overloaded in a matter of weeks with no chance of recovery!

Here is a video that explains this story in further detail – https://au.video.search.yahoo.com/video/play?ei=UTF-8&fr=ush-video&fr2=tab-web&p=speed+camera+revolt&vid=676627743339&dt=1297931919&l=265&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fvideos%2Fthumbnail.aspx%3Fq%3D676627743339%26id%3D7f71bdf76cfe37fd72dbf0f0439cf342%26bid%3DvStQ%252b3z4xIZofQ%26bn%3DThumb%26url%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fvideo.yahoo.com%252fwatch%252f8743565&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.yahoo.com%2Fwatch%2F8743565%2F24219941&tit=Speed+camera+revolt&sigr=11dua8hg2&newfp=1  If you can’t get this lengthy link to work, just go to https://au.video.search.yahoo.com/ click “video” and search for “speed camera revolt”.

The key point to note from this video is that you do not need thousands of dollars to fight an unjust and unlawful fine, in fact, for as little as $67, you can become a Member – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and successfully fight your fines completely on your own.

– Parking Cameras turned off because of “People Power” protests

And our final article this week proves what we have been saying all along, that if enough people send a united message to the “powers that be” that “enough is enough” we can break through. As this article shows – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/great-eastlink-speed-camera-revolt/story-e6frf7kx-1226007197080 – the much maligned parking cameras in Footscray have now been turned off as a result “People Power”.

The reality is that if the people of Footscray can band together and have these ridiculous parking cameras removed then the same applies to the people of Australia and having ridiculous, ineffective, revenue raising cameras removed as well – just as they have successfully done in Canada, Hawaii and other states of the US!

– Latest Testimonials

Just a very short and sweet testimonial this week.

Hi Guys,

I’m no legal professional, just a scientific mind. I argued a friend’s case in court the other day, stating that there’s no instrument on the dashboard of any vehicle built today that will foretell of impending doom or when an accident will occur, and that staring at the dashboard instead of the road was the riskiest behaviour, similar to mobile phone use while driving. The case was chucked out for a couple of reasons, but the magistrate said that was the most compelling argument she’d ever heard.

Yet another victory – thanks to you guys.

Olaf.

– Important Safety Video

As you know, here at Aussie Speeding Fines, we are committed to implementing strategies that will truly make our roads safer for all motorists, rather than the continued revenue raising strategies that are currently being used. On that note, we had an important video sent through to us from a Member this week about tyres and we thought we would close this week’s e-mail by passing it onto everyone and urging you, in turn, to pass it onto to all the motorists that you know.

This short video, although made in the US, is obviously also relevant here in Australia and the few minutes it takes to watch could well save your life or the life of someone you know – https://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897

Stay safe out there,

We appreciate that last week’s e-mail was fairly lengthy, extensive and detailed so we’re committed to keeping this week’s e-mail at least a little bit shorter with a bit less reading to do.  In fact, as you will see, this week’s e-mail actually consists primarily of video links.

Having said that, if you didn’t have time to read through last week’s e-mail in it’s entirety, we would urge you to go to our News/Updates page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/news-updates/ – and finish reading it now because it really is worth the time it will take you.

– Speed Camera Blitz

In fact, our first story, this week, actually follows on from last week’s e-mail – about the speed camera reforms in the most heavily fined state in Australia, Victoria. After admitting to speeding himself, the Victorian Police Minister is honoring his election promise to “reveal the location of previously secret speed camera sites.” Of course, this is a pathetic attempt at some kind of transparency and to “boost confidence” in the clearly failing speed camera program, however, given the number of people that are now fighting back against unjust and unlawful fines, we don’t think he will fool too many people.

You can read the full story here – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/ipad/speed-camera-blitz-in-the-suburbs/story-fn6bfkm6-1226001079960 – and note that we will be keeping a close eye on the proposed “Cameras Save Lives” website that is mentioned in this article. Again, we would encourage anyone with the courage and ability to do so, to start a lawsuit – possibly even a class action – against these so-called “safety cameras” to put an end to this continuous false and misleading advertising that these revenue raising devices have anything to do with “saving lives”.

– Video showing faults with speed cameras

Our first video is actually an old video from a few years back that one of our early Members had made after she successfully challenged an unjust speeding fine in Adelaide. Although it was filmed a couple of years ago, the points and issues raised in this video are just as relevant today as they were back then and hopefully you will see just how fundamentally flawed these speed cameras really are.

You can view the video here – https://www.todaytonightadelaide.com.au/?page=Story&StoryID=352 – and be sure to note the comments of the expert witness who is interviewed first up. “Revenue raising”, “the equipment is unreliable” and also, “operators don’t know how to use them.” He then goes onto to say that “these cameras are not set up correctly”, “they are not accurate enough” and “people should fight them (fines) because we have to change this unfair system” – we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Please note that we have copies of the speed camera operator’s manuals and site selection criteria and we have included all of the relevant sections – that the expert refers to – in our e-book so you can access them directly to fight your own fines.

One final point on this video – we recently contacted NATA to see if the SA Police had their accreditation re-instated and despite a thorough search on their system, they could find no record of that re-instatement. Please feel free to contact NATA yourself and, if you live in SA, be sure to add this little gem to all the other valuable, licence saving information contained in our e-book when you fight your unjust and unlawful speeding fines. And, for everyone else out there, please note the final statement of this interview “I know it’s not easy but the only way to change this unfair and unjust system is to fight it. Our system is flawed and very unjust.”

– Videos showing faults with hand held devices

Although the video above showed, to a small degree, how easy it is for a hand held speed detection device – in this case, a radar gun – to register an incorrect reading, the following three videos go one step further and show how simple, and common, it is for Police to deliberately create false readings with hand held devices, including the so-called “more accurate” laser guns.

Now, this first video is a bit “hit and miss” in respect to the results but you can clearly get an idea of the concept and any ex-traffic cop will tell you that they certainly know how to produce these erroneous readings with much greater regularity – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XinL5Dv_i3w

The second video is lot more consistent and not only shows and extremely high false reading but goes into detail as to what a “sweep reading” is and how it works, again, something that any traffic cop who has been trained in the use of this device will know and understand – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyMjtq3IodU&feature=related

The final video is very short but, in case anyone was thinking the other models in the other videos weren’t the same ones they use here in Australia – mind you, they all work on exactly the same principle – this final video is of a Kustom Pro III Laser which is exactly what they use here in Australia – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHSBo3rwyFU&feature=related – and again, clearly false readings are simple to “create”.

Be sure to ask any officer, if you are ever pulled over for an on-the-spot fine, if he can prove that the reading he obtained was not the result of a sweep or panning error.

– Best article on speeding fines ever!

One of our Members sent us through a link to probably the most complete, logical and practical article we have read in the 3 and a half plus years that we have existed. We don’t know the author and we haven’t made contact with him yet as we only just recently received this but we think it is something that all of you who are regular readers of our e-mail updates will enjoy.

We urge you to take the time to read through this article –
https://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=11611 – making sure to get the 2nd page as well and just see how much sense this approach makes compared to the one currently adopted by “those in charge”.

You will also quickly come to realise that his ideas and solutions very closely mirror the points we raise on our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/

– Ridiculous fines handed out in QLD flood areas

We’re going to take a quick break from tradition this week and, instead of listing our recent testimonials, which you can always find on our Testimonials pages anyway – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – we instead decided to share with you an e-mail that we have received a few times this past week in regards to absolutely senseless fines that were handed out in QLD during the recent flood period. We trust you will be as disgusted with the following, purely revenue raising tactics, as we were when we read this.

There has been some amazing great story’s come out of the floods.  But there are also the ones that will never be told because in this country we tolerate idiots in government jobs and no one wants to point the finger in case it somehow blows up in their face.

Sorry, but at my age, I have become totally disenchanted and someone needs to tell it like it is, so I will start the ball rolling.  Please join with me to lift the lid on idiots with uniforms.

Take Qld transport.  In Dalby district.

Dalby hit the news with a record flood in the Condamine River that damaged the water treatment plant.  And water needed to be trucked in in the middle of floods.  Truck drivers worked hard to get us water.

Officers from Qld Transport booked drivers for so called over loading……….   what Idiots.    Who pays?  It’ll get squashed and probably has already, but what a waste of resources at a time when manpower was critical.

Farmers crossing a road with a tractor to feed starving, flooded stock were pulled up, the tractor measured, and they were booked because it was slightly wide.  Not only that, they were forced to leave the tractor and go to town to get an over wide permit before they could move it back into the farm.  And this happened on an already closed road where the farmer was the only person around.  Except for the idiots.

These are not rumors.  They are facts.   This morning, I was booked for driving down a closed road to check livestock that were reported out on the road and, at the same time, pick up my employee who had walked over the bridge to come to work.  My house happens to be 50 m past the road closed sign, so apparently I cannot even go in and out my gate.  I tried to reason amicably with 2 idiots.  Of course I got more than a little agitated when they refused to let me down the road to my farm.  As a result they pulled a tape recorder, so I made sure that it recorded their stupidity. I even had to insist that they returned my driver’s license.  I’ll definitely win the court battle
as my employee witnessed the whole affair.  But what a waste of time
and resources.

Over the last 3 weeks, there have been Qld Transport officers stationed outside our farm booking innocent locals for about 8 days.  2 guys sit in a vehicle with the engine idling and hazard lights on 24/7.  That would be 3 shifts, plus motel and other costs.  Now most of these guys were reasonable people.  I had to chat with them every time I went out my gate.  Some were idiots like my experience this morning.  But the real idiots in this case are the people who sent them out here to guard an obviously flooded and closed road.  And never bothered to check when the water went down, and left them there.  We, the taxpayers, pay them to be there and also pay fines for trying to get on with our lives in tough times.

Wrote the above in the hour before I went to Brisbane to help clean up the mess in our flooded premises there.  While in  Brisbane I was told a true story about the truck drivers delivering food to Gympie.  As happens in times of desperate need, trucks rolled out of the Brisbane warehouses stacked with as much as they could get in.  After all, the media was screaming for food for Gympie.  Queensland Transport then intercepted the trucks and fined the drivers for overloading.

What Senior Idiot in Qld Transport decided that he could solve Queensland’s financial crisis by fining drivers?  And sent dozens of men out to embarrass the Government when they could have been helping people in need.

And did you hear about the farmer who was ferrying food and other essentials for himself and neighbors across the flooded Condamine.

Well, the SES and Police decided that was their job.  Apparently it is illegal for us farmers to even launch our boats to help ourselves or rescue our livestock.  So they sent him home after warning him that if he continued to help, they would prosecute.  As he was putting his boat back on his trailer on the other side of the river, he heard horns blowing and looked back to where he had been sent away from.  There were the professional idiots, in the middle of the river, sinking.  And, as we normal citizens are stupid, he had to re-launch his boat and go back and rescue them.

Apparently they had forgotten to put the plugs in the bottom of the boat and their training had not taught them how to simply put them in after they discovered it and then how to bail the boat out.  He should have let them drown.  That would be called “natural selection”.  But again, they had been sent out with an attitude rather than real training.  So who is at fault?  Need I answer that?

As I said at the start, there have been many, many great deeds by the vast majority of people, but when a society gets to the point that ordinary people are stopped from helping each other and are forced into submission by bureaucrats, Where are we going?

Please add your story’s and keep this going. Somehow, we have to reverse the stupidity that makes our nation the dumbest in the modern world.

Our great grandfathers would be appalled. And if any of you have the personal emails of any Politician, or Media people, please make sure they get a copy.

Gary Briggs, Dalby.

– Feedback on the new format First up this week, we would like to extend a big “Thank You” to those who took the time to e-mail us with feedback on the new e-mail format. There was an overwhelming number of Members and Subscribers who supported the change and the general feedback is that people acknowledge our challenge – of providing just the right amount of information to current Members and Subscribers as well as those who have been with us for a number of years – and appreciate the clear overview at the start of the e-mails now and the ability to jump straight to the sections that interest them the most.

So, on that basis, we will continue with the new format and, as always we will continue to develop our website and the ways in which we get important information to all our Members and Subscribers. In addition to the new format, many of you have now noticed that we are sending out a new e-mail update pretty much every week and that is simply because of the number of relevant media stories that cross our desk, as well as the feedback and successes that people are reporting with our system. As the information comes to us we will continue to pass it on – and we welcome you all to continue sending through relevant media articles as well as your stories of success with our system.

And, on that point, we are going to give everyone a heads up that this week’s e-mail is going to be a long one because we have been absolutely inundated with media articles this week and they are all extremely important. So, please bare with us and feel free to select the headlines that grab your attention the mot because they are all good this week.

– Landmark victory by cop in Victoria

Our first and most important story this week is about a landmark victory by a police officer who has been fighting his fine for 8 years and finally won. Not only did he win his fight against his own specific fine but it also cast doubt on thousands of other fines as well. You can see the full story by clicking the following link – https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video# – and selecting the video entitled “Landmark speed camera case”, it is currently the 3rd one down but it will be removed in a few days again so please get onto it quickly.

Be sure to keep an ear out for the opening line of this report – “The revolt against speed cameras is getting bigger.” People are finally getting the message that these devices are solely used for revenue raising and more and more people are using our information to fight back against unjust and unlawful fines and winning! The obvious question that comes out of this video though is, if this officer won his case on the grounds stated then it would prove that those other 1200 fines were invalid, unlawful and un-enforceable so they should all be immediately refunded and we would encourage everyone who got a fine in that area to force them to refund any payments.

– All fines in NT to be refunded

Speaking of having fines refunded, we received a fantastic media article this week entitled “Can we get a refund?” The following story comes from the Northern Territory and if the case is successful, it would mean that all fines issued over the past 7 years would need to be refunded. You can read the full story here – https://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2011/02/10/211621_ntnews.html

Please be sure to note this important line – about half way through the article – as it applies to all motorists in all states of Australia – “Most people just take the cheap way out and pay the fine,” he said. “But I decided to do something about it.” The reality is that no speed detection device in Australia has been properly calibrated and no device complies with Section 10 of the National Measurement Act, as it is required to. Please see the following page – https://www.science.org.au/nova/060/060print.htm – for further details on this point, specifically the section about half way down, entitled “The National Measurement System” which specifically states “And if the court asks for proof of this, the measurements are traceable to a reliable source.” As Dr Brittain of the National Measurement Institute explained in a number of letters to our Members, no speed detection device complies with this important Commonwealth legislation.

– Another letter from Dr Brittain of the National Measurement Institute

In fact, we got another one of these letters from one our Members again this week:

Dear Mr Strong,

I refer to your e-mail of 25 June 2009 to our Calibration Coordinator regarding the above which has come to me for a response.  Further to you enquiry I confirm as follows:

1.     The devices to which you refer are not exempt from the provisions of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth) including section 10.

2.     I am not sure to what your reference to ‘Guidelines’ alludes, however, the only measuring instruments which would have an NSC number would be pattern approved measuring instruments.  Since 1 July 2004 when the former National Standards Commission (NSC) merged with the former Australian Government Analytical Laboratories and the former National Measurement Laboratory to form the National Measurement Institute these pattern approval numbers have become NMI numbers. However, I confirm that there are currently no pattern approved vehicle speed measuring instruments in Australia.

3.     Your enquiry about the requirements for calibration and testing of vehicle speed measuring instruments would be best directed to the Police service using the instrument in question or the manufacture or agent of that instrument in Australia.

4.     This e-mail is entirely without prejudice and nothing in it constitutes legal advice either express or implied.

I trust that this information satisfies your enquiry.

Yours sincerely

Richard Brittain

– Cameras turned off and road toll DECREASES

Our next important story this week is a crystal clear explanation of what we here, at Aussie Speeding Fines, are ultimately trying to achieve – the removal of ineffective speed cameras that simple exist to raise revenue by way of issuing unjust and unlawful fines and instead, see a reduction in the road toll simply because drivers pay more attention.

The previous articles show the sort of victories we are finally starting to achieve here in Australia but the following two stories out of England show that, when enough people band together and send a united message to those in charge that they no longer believe in these devices and the facts show that they are ineffective, then these cameras can and will be removed.

The first article – https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1353829/Axing-speed-cameras-caused-road-deaths-FALL.html – details very specific numbers – in this case, a 21% reduction in road fatalities since the removal of speed cameras – yet this is something that the reports in Australia almost never have because the figures are contrary to the crap they keep shoving down our throats!

Just have a look at the facts – “Road deaths dropped 14 per cent in three months while speed cameras were being axed or switched off” and “Fatalities over a year fell 21 per cent to a record low.” How much clearer does it need to be before people, here in Australia, stop buying into the “Speed Cameras Save Lives” garbage?  As this article states “Road safety experts say this shows that more than two decades of obsession with the devices (speed cameras) has been misplaced.”

A similar article – https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/8296497/More-speed-cameras-to-be-switched-off.html – also from the UK, that confirms that more cameras will be switched off – in direct opposition to the more cameras that are being installed each day in Australia – it also raises some other very important points. Look for the following statements towards the end of the article – “We are extremely encouraged that councils are deciding to consider better engineering solutions than speed cameras” and “It will assist drivers to concentrate on the road rather than their speedometer. We need to always ensure that motorists should always think about the task of driving as this is crucial to recognising hazards which cause accidents.”

And, as any of you who have spent any time at all reading our website will know, these are the exact same points we raise on our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – that we want to see implemented here in Australia.
– Cameras under accuracy investigation in Victoria

A number of very interesting articles came from the Herald Sun in Melbourne this week, the first one detailing how many drivers have “magically” been booked for exactly the same speed – 108 km/h – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/many-booked-at-exactly-108kmh-says-former-police-officer/story-e6frf7kx-1225997706533  Please note that not only is it the number of people being booked at that speed but also the type of people – both current and veteran police officers and, more importantly, look at the number of people that are now successfully fighting these unjust and unlawful fines and winning!

And how’s this for a “do what I say and not what I do” story – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/police-minister-peter-ryan-speeds-again/story-e6frf7kx-1225997714715 – the new police minister was caught “speeding” within days of being sworn in as Police Minister. Now, that obviously doesn’t set a very good example but the bigger question is, if he has been “caught speeding … on numerous occasions over the year” then where is the report of all the people he’s killed. After all, don’t they keep telling us that “Every K Over is a Killer”? Are you starting to see the truth now???

So, if you’re sick to death of the hypocrisy, as well and forking out good dollar after bad for unjust, unlawful and ineffective fines, then please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now!

– Mandatory additional “road tax” for all motorists

One of our Members sent through the following article regarding the number of fines issued in the Northern Territory – https://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2011/02/06/210761_ntnews.html – and did some calculations that suggested that, given the population in NT, this figure equated to an additional tax on every man, woman and child to the tune of $35. However, we then did the figures for Victoria – the most heavily fined state in the country – and given the number of fines issued there and their population – they are being forced to wear an additional tax of around $100 per person. But, when you break it down to the fact that only motorists pay this extra “tax” it works about to be about $150 that every motorist ends up paying each year as a result of these blatant revenue raising devices.

The other interesting point to note about this story is that the opening line states that “Territory drivers paid more than $7 million in fines last year for doing the wrong thing on the road”, however, if you go back to our early story on “Can we get a refund? It is actually the government that has been doing the wrong thing and fining completely innocent drivers!

– Parking fines refunded in Adelaide

And our last story of the week shows even more unjust and invalid fines being issued, this time, parking fines in Adelaide –
https://city-north-messenger.whereilive.com.au/news/story/a-fine-debacle/  Again, we find  their statement that there was no “legal obligation” to refund fines absolutely disgusting, given that they clearly stated that  “parking laws in question cannot be enforced because current signs restricting parking at specified times do not comply with the Australian Road Rules.”

– Facebook group, bumper stickers and business cards

So, if you find all this blatant revenue raising as disgusting as we do then please do something about it. First and foremost, if you’re not yet a Member or you know someone who isn’t then please go to our Memberships page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.  Please be sure to skip down to the next section and read our first testimonial to see the sort of service you get as part of your membership with us.
Then, once you’ve done that, please be sure to add your signature to our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to have these ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising devices removed from our roads.

And finally, if you really want to help make a difference, just e-mail us your postal address and we will send you out some business cards and/or bumper stickers – completely free of charge – that you can then hand out.
– Latest Testimonials

And last, but not least, this week, we have our latest testimonials. You will note that we have finally broken our Testimonials page into two pages now because we simply have too many to fit on just one page. You can view the newest Testimonials page here – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – and below are some of the latest testimonials we received in the past week or so.

Our first testimonial isn’t about an actual “win” per se but it does go a long way to showing the sort of support you will get from us as a Member and we believe that is a very important part of your Membership with us.

Hi Guys

Wow can’t get much clearer than that!

When I purchased your e-book midway through last year I wondered if there would be any back up support. Not only have you responded to every email I’ve sent you have taken the time to clearly address my specific situation/s. That’s a level of support of was not expecting.

I have to fly down to Sydney specifically for the hearing this Friday and thanks to the service you guys offer I will do so with far more confidence than I would could ever have had without it!

In gratitude

Rob (NSW)

Our next one definitely details a number of success with our system and, as you can see, is extremely comprehensive and well worth the read.

Hi Guys.

About time I gave you some of my story.

About 3 years ago I got 2 tickets for the unforgivable sin of going past
cameras up on poles. I was so cranky as I guess I was going at least 5K over some turkey’s stupid idea as to what was deemed safe at that particular 200 Metre stretch of road. As you appreciate the speed limit changes every  couple K’s!!  So I did a google on “beat speeding fines”  Well among all the know alls and liars there was one site that seemed above board!!….. and that is why you are reading this.

Aussie Speeding Fines has been sooooooooo HELPFUL!!

After getting the Ebook online, and putting into practice all the teaching
re the 1st 2 fines, Blow me away if I don’t get another from some Cop in
Rosedale Vic. Population of at least 300 people. Such a crime to be doing 54
in a 50 zone!! Worthy of a suspended licence, one would expect!! So back to the Ebook and do what is suggested, except this time I have an
officer of the law to deal with.

Now just last year in NSW where I live on the beautiful Sapphire Coast. My
wife and I are hooting along on a perfect day in our old 65 Chev. When I say
old I don’t mean it’s clapped out. Far from it. I still get asked by couples
to use it for their wedding!! So it looks good, but it also goes OK with a
worked 353 Cubic Inch [5.8L] V8 under the bonnet. Now I very rarely open the throttle and do spin outs, but on this perfect driving day cruising along at 99K on cruise control, we come up behind a caravan struggling up a hill.

So without thinking too much about it, as I could see a couple of K up the
highway I put the foot down.  Well it’s a few K’s down the road when the sky
lights up with flashing red and blue lights, and there is this terrifying
siren screaming, disturbing all the pleasant surroundings for miles.  Well
this officer is very happy as he thinks he is in for a bonus for such a
great catch!!… He recorded me at 143 according to his dodgy radar gun in a100K zone!!!

Well now things are really getting exciting! Please don’t get the idea that I’m some young hoon out of control. I’m actually an old bloke of 65 years. I have been driving for 48 years, and have never had an accident. I can remember driving at high speed in the days when there were no restrictions on the open roads out of town. The roads were no where near as well made as today, and there were a lot of fatalities. But from experience I still feel comfortable driving at 160K/H on our freeways in the right vehicle, in the right conditions…. weather, light, wind etc.

Now, back to the matter on hand. Well you will be glad to hear that the 3 Infringement notices issued in Victoria were all dropped as I followed the Ebook instructions, and sent out the letters as required. None of those cases even got to the stage or requesting my case be heard in court.

Now in NSW these guys thought they had a case for me to answer. So over a
period of 12 months I finally had my day in court. I am a little saddened
actually as I will never know how all my study and preparation for my case
pointing out how all these unlawful laws were being used on us motorists. As well as the facts that the radar guns and cameras were all illegal. Not one
of them has been passed as OK to use by our National Authority. And I have a personal letter from the top man saying so!!

For some reason the officer who booked me, and who was unable to reply to
any of my requests and questions sent to him as per the Aussie Speeding
Fines Ebook letters, just didn’t turn up at court…. He had a training
session which was more important that he should attend!!… The Judge /
Magistrate, was not impressed.!! So he threw the case out, before I even got
a chance to present anything.

So although I am a little sad, it is certainly a win for me, and proof that
ASF and the Ebook is worth a fortune!! The guys at ASF answered every Email and question I had within a day ever ytime!!

Truly a great team of guys.  All I can say is a BIG thank-you.

Cheers.

Howard (NSW)

As always, we thank you all for your continued support. We thank you all for these fantastic media articles and testimonials so be sure to keep them coming!

Stay safe out there,

– Backlash from last week’s e-mail

Well, last week’s e-mail caused quite a stir. We had a number of people unsubscribing from our service for reasons that no-one has yet been able to explain – because none of the suggestions related directly to that particular e-mail, just e-mails in general. Thankfully, we also received 10 times more people giving us feedback and support than those who complained and many of you reading this were kind enough to give us some new ideas to help improve our service. In fact, one of the comments that we received most last week was that, although people enjoyed and appreciated the quality of our e-mail updates, many felt that they were a bit too long and, for Members who have been with us a while now, they became a little repetitive in places.

Our difficulty is that we have to cater to Members who have been with us for the full 3 and a half years that we have been operating, right through to fresh Members and Subscribers who just signed up today – and everyone in between – so there is still a certain amount of information that we need to convey each week.

– New e-mail format

Accordingly, you will have noted the slightly different format this week and the highlighted point form outline that gives a quick overview of what is contained in this e-mail. Whilst we will never apologise for our passion on this topic, we do apologise for the length of some of our e-mails and, as this is something that a number of people have noted, we have trialed this new format to try and keep all Members and subscribers happy, up to date and informed.

By introducing this new point form format at the start of each e-mail and the breakdown of these e-mails into sections, we hope to make it easier for veteran readers to jump to the sections that are most relevant to them directly and, for people who don’t have the time to digest our entire e-mail at once, you can go the sections of greatest importance or relevance first and work your way through everything else later. So, before we jump into the actual real content of this week’s e-mail, we would encourage everyone to let us know if they like the new format, if it’s better worse than the old one as well as any other ideas or comments you may have.

So, just to recap, in case any of you missed last week’s e-mail, couldn’t view the video, didn’t get the follow up e-mail with the new link to the video or, for any other reason missed what we believe is the single most important video on speed cameras in the past year or so, you can view that video here – https://news.yahoo.com/video/tech-15749651/all-about-the-money-23872350

Please note that there will be a short commercial before the video starts and you can read our important comments on this video, as well as look back through any past e-mail updates – right back to 2008 – by clicking on our News/Updates page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/news-updates/

– NSW $8 million speed cameras

Our first story this week comes from the Newcastle Herald and details how the speed and red light cameras in that area have raked in over $8 million a year over the past 4 years. You can read the article here – https://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/news/general/our-8m-speed-cameras/2054493.aspx?storypage=0

Now, there’s all the usual rubbish in that article that they spout from time to time including a ridiculous statement that “There’s no such thing as safe speeding, as even slightly exceeding the speed limit increased the chances of a crash.” Seriously, who actually reads statements like that and believes them? This article is quite long yet, despite its length, there is not a single statistic about the number of accidents in the area. So, if “even slightly exceeding the speed limit” was as dangerous and as likely to cause an accident as they say and they have issued $10.5 million in fines, then why aren’t there reports of accidents in that area every day? The simple fact is that “speed” has almost nothing to do with accidents and, as we explain on our Vision for the future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – it is actually only a factor in 5% of accidents! In fact, they proudly state in that article that 652 fines were issued for exceeding the speed limit by 10km/h or more. Now, we certainly don’t condone speeding but again, the obvious question is, if “Every K over is a Killer” – as they would have us believe – then where are all the reports of those 652 fatal accidents? Again, it’s all media hype that has absolutely no basis in reality!

Everyone reading this article should pay very close attention to “Related Coverage Poll” on the right hand side which shows that almost 80% of people believe that these cameras are about nothing more than revenue raising! So, if you believe that too, our question to you is, what are you going to do about it?

– New Truthful red light camera statistics

Now, before you jump down our throats and say “But this article is about both speed and red light cameras and we believe that red light cameras work” – please have a look at the following article our of the US last year – https://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2010/05/austin-red-light-camera-results-minimal.html  Make sure you look at the statistics carefully before buying into any more media hype stating that these devices prevent accidents.

We actually had a fairly lengthy e-mail discussion with one of our Members a few weeks back about this very point and would ask you to consider these very fundamental facts. Like speeding, going through a red light is not actually a problem unless someone is coming the other way. Now, in this day and age, that is very likely and we certainly don’t recommend that you go through one but please just get that first fundamental fact right from the outset. If you go through a red light and have checked and there is no-one coming the other way – like they do in the US, for example – then there is no problem.

The fact is that most people stop at red lights. Yes, there are a number of people that speed through on orange but A) a red light camera is not going to stop that and B) there shouldn’t be anyone coming the other way yet if the light is still orange.  The next relevant category is the people that push through just as the light has gone red, again, the traffic shouldn’t have started moving yet because the opposing light doesn’t turn green at the instant that the other light turns red, there is a further delay for this very reason. So, the only people that are going to cause accidents by going through a red light are those who go through after it has been red for at least a few seconds.

We would argue that someone who goes through a red light after it has been red for a few seconds has either A) not seen that it is red – for whatever reason (not paying attention etc.) – and a red light camera will not assist one iota in this case or B) They don’t care that it is red – they are drunk, on drugs etc. – again, a red light camera will be of no use in the is situation. So, please explain to us, how exactly do red light cameras prevent accidents? The fact is that they don’t. The reality is, as we explain on our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – that they actually cause more accidents than they prevent because people end up slamming on their brakes at the last minute because they are so concerned about getting a fine, rather than driving to the conditions – something that is far more important than obeying arbitrary “rules” that simply exist for the improved flow of traffic – this concept is detailed and explained in our e-book considerably more than we can do here.

– Latest Testimonials

Unfortunately, it has taken us a little longer than expected to get our new Testimonial’s page updated and organized but we will endeavour to get that completed over the course of the next week. We would encourage you to check back at – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – towards the end of next week and you should see all the latest testimonials updated then. In the meantime, here is some of the latest feedback that we have received over the last few weeks.

Our first one is very short and sweet and to the point but the message is crystal clear – the Aussie Speeding Fines system works!

ASF,

I have just had another speeding fine withdrawn after sending your letters off. You have now saved me over $600 & 5 points

Roland

The next is from a Member who went back and forth with a council over a parking ticket for a while and eventually elected to have the matter heard in court and eventually had the case dismissed there. The important thing to note from this e-mail is that just by electing to go to court it gives you yet another chance of having the fine dropped. Remember, once you pay a fine, you are guaranteed to lose but, the longer you fight – by sending our letters, electing to go to court and even fighting them in court – all gives extra chances to defeat your unjust and unlawful fines. As they say, it’s not over til it’s over so never give in beforehand.

Hi Guys

Just wanted to let you know I went to court the other day with my parking fine, armed to the teeth with various arguments (eg. 1988 referendum, letter from attorny general, Traffic Commission’s quote that Road Rules have no legal effect, and the most interesting one I found about loading zones not being allowed to be near trees or cafes with street dining) and though the Magistrate was impressed with my research and the amount of work I had done, he wasn’t interested.

However the interesting thing is that in the time I was waiting for my case to be heard, he was dismissing without charges every case including mine. Basically he would say “you have taken the time to come here today…..”.  So the upshot of this is the message to everyone to simply take their case to court and there is a very good chance it will be dismissed. I certainly found the exercise to be profitable in my favour – the councils must be well pissed off!

Cheers and Merry Xmas

Stefan (Vic.)

The following e-mail is a follow up from one we covered a few months back, where one of our Members has now placed a sign in the front windscreen of his car warning potential parking officers not to issue him a ticket. As you can see, this is a great strategy for defeating a ticket before you even get one. This is also why it’s so important to have our information before you get a fine!

Hi ASF,

Peter T here from Sydney,
Some more progress  with my Notice to Council rangers/officers that states I am very willing to spend the day in court if they even think of putting a ticket on my car.

I am a Tradesman and I have been working with another Tradie that was amazed that I didnt get a ticket when he did and I was parked only a couple of cars away from him. And I told hi it was because of the Notice and the ASF methods, he didnt believe me.

Well since then I have had the balls to approach the ranger when he put his chalk mark on my tyre, I said to him. “Did you read the notice on the front of my car?”   ”I did” he replied, then I said ” please be aware that I know the Law and my rights and that you work for a company and you or your company do not have any lawful right to issue any fines to me – do you understand this?”…then he said  “I am not really sure if it would stand up in court, why do the Police give us the authority and a Badge that we are licenced to use?”  then I said …”Look if you really want to know then you do a simple Google search, Question 3 1988 Referendum and then go to Australian Parliment’s website and find out how much authority Council has”…

Well he took out his pen and paper and noted down the above details….and then yesterday he was in the street where I was parked and he waved hello to me and then …..he walked right past my car….no chalk….no ticket…he didn’t even go near my car. Then, ( when he was leaving the street after booking 3 cars) he yelled out  “see ya mate, hope the weekend is good for you!”  

Thank you Aussie Speeding Fines …you have given me back my rights and some extra power I never thought I had.

Yeah!

Peter (NSW)

And our final testimonial this week involves a lady you stood her ground and successfully fought an unjust fine for going through an amber light. Unfortunately, as she points out, you often have to force these agencies to acknowledge your rights because they often won’t take notice otherwise.

Hi ASF,

Thank you for sending the link to us again.  I clicked on it immediately and didn’t find it there the first time but didn’t get the opportunity to write to you and also I didn’t want to bother you.  You had warned us it wouldn’t be there for long and I thought I had missed out, so thank you again for going through all the trouble.  It’s great we have members who contribute as well.

I am contesting a red light fine.  I wrote to you about it.  I went through a yellow light and received an on the spot fine by a traffic cop for going through a red light after arguing with me that going through a yellow light was illegal.  Anyway after writing my letter saying that I was contesting and filling out the appropriate section at the back, I received a reply saying they are withdrawing the Infringement Notice, refunding any monies paid and cancelling the demerit points incurred. This leaves me absolutely appalled.  If you don’t tell them you are contesting, you are automatically slammed with a verdict of “guilty” without having the chance to prove yourself, fined in more ways than one, but the moment you tell them you are contesting, everything is automatically erased.  I can’t believe it.

Regards

Jeanne

January 21, 2011 – updated link
New link to the video that was taken down within 2 hours of our last e-mail.

Well, we knew that once we told everyone about that all important video, it wouldn’t stay up for very long but we didn’t expect it to be gone within just 2 hours! Thankfully, one of our industrious Members found another link to it so hopefully this one will be up for a little longer. If you were one of the many Members and Subscribers who e-mailed us over the past few hours and didn’t get to see that video before it was taken down, you can view it here instead – https://news.yahoo.com/video/tech-15749651/all-about-the-money-23872350

One of the things that really shocked us after we sent out that last e-mail was the number of people that asked to be unsubscribed from our e-mails. Now, we understand that with a database as large as ours, we’re not going to be able to please everyone with every e-mail we send out and we’re going to upset or offend a few people here and there but the thing that we couldn’t understand was, of all the e-mails that we send out, why would anyone want to be removed after receiving that particular e-mail?

The video that is in both this and the last e-mail we sent is one of the most important and powerful videos that we have seen in the 3 and a half years that we have been operating and it will affect virtually every driver in this country. All we were trying to do was urge people to watch it as quickly as they could because we knew it would be taken down soon – which, is exactly what happened. So, maybe it’s us and we can’t see it because we were so busy rushing around on a Friday evening, to try and get this into everyone’s e-mail box before they left for the weekend but why would anyone object to us trying to inform them of something so important, that is going to affect their own lives, as well as those of their friends, family and workmates and we are offering a simple, step-by-step solution as well? If anyone can explain this to us, please do because it makes no sense to us at all.

It’s now after 11.0ppm and we’ve been frantically answering e-mails from Member and Subscribers who have been trying to watch the video, only to find it has been removed. We have, thanks to a Member who went above and beyond the call of duty to find another link to the video, been able to get this video out to everyone again and, instead of the thanks and support that we would have thought we would receive for doing such a good job and working so late to inform people about what is happening, we get e-mails from people saying outlandish things like we’re wasting their time!

So please, spend just 5 minutes to watch this video – https://news.yahoo.com/video/tech-15749651/all-about-the-money-23872350 – and note the key phrases they use that are detailed below for anyone who is still unable to watch this video or if this one too is quickly taken down.

The intro refers to “High tech, hard to spot revenue raisers.”
This is followed by the following statement – “When you approach one of these signs (safety camera ahead) you’re approaching a modern day, money making machine….. And now, we’re on the verge of the boldest expansion this country has ever seen. State government has big plans for its star recruit.”

Then, there’s the all important statistics and these are the very reason we urged everyone to watch this video in the first place and why we believe it will have a direct impact on almost every motorist in this country. Keep an ear out for this statement in the midst of them – “This revenue is budgeted in, it’s keeping State governments afloat and its milking motorists even harder.” It just doesn’t get any clearer than that!

NSW – currently 50 cameras, going to be 100 by end of 2011, 200 by end of 2012
Vic – 32 new cameras on top of the 175 already
SA – Adelaide is spending 3.5 million to have 88 cameras by end of 2011
WA – Currently 30, going to be another 16
QLD – 88 in 2011 – has tripled since 2008

And then, to finish it off, they interview a guy who was booked for driving through a red light that didn’t even exist! He then lost his licence and lost his job. People don’t realise, this happens every day and it is getting worse!

So, we’re very sorry if we’re not “politically correct”, we’re sorry if you feel like we’re “on a soapbox” or if you feel that we’re too pushy. Look what has happened in this country so far because people did not push enough! How long do you honestly think it will be – especially with the introduction of all these new cameras – before you, or someone you know, ends up like that last guy who was interviewed – no licence and no job all because of a ridiculous, unjust fine?

It’s obviously your call but the closing comment of that video speaks volumes – “The aggressive roll out of safety cameras IS happening”. Thankfully though, his last words are not correct when he says “there is nothing you can do about it” That is why we exist, because unjust, unfair and unlawful fines are issued every day and there is definitely something you can do about it. In fact, there is a lot you can do about it and our e-book shows you step-by-step exactly what to do to fight back against this incredible speed camera madness. So, please, if this sort of information is a waste of your time, if you don’t value your licence and your job or you incorrectly think that you can’t be a victim of any of this then fine, use the un-subscribe link at the bottom and we won’t send you any more e-mails.

However, if you understand how quickly you can lose your licence in this day and age, if you understand how drastically your life would be affected to be without your licence for even 1 month and if you understand how more and more unjust and unlawful fines are being issued each and every day and, how its now simply a matter of “when”, not “if” you will receive one yourself, then please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now.

And finally, as even further proof of the effectiveness of our system against this very problem – should you require anything over and above the already numerous success stories on our Testimonial’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – we actually just received the latest testimonial below an hour or so ago.

Hi Guys,

Another success story for me, I was charged in the Magistrates Court, appealed and in the County Court the case was dismissed 19 Wednesday 2011.

That makes 5 infringements I have won, another one to go.

I would like to thank you guys again, I still have my license thanks to your system.

I am a serviceman always on the road, I could not believe I received 5 tickets in less than one month in 2009. I will say again Your System works great.

Cheers,

Enzo.

We assure you, we’re not making any of this up. All our testimonials are real. This impending speed camera problem is real. The “system” is out of control and getting worse and our information is the best way of protecting yourselves against the inevitable. Please keep in mind, you have a full 30 days to read through our information and if for any reason you don’t think it is everything we say it is, and much more, then simply let us know and we will give you a full refund. We simply can’t be any fairer or more open and honest that that!

We apologise again for intruding on your “inbox” but we really do believe this video and our information is that important and, if you do too, then please help us spread the word, send this e-mail onto all your contacts, get some bumper stickers or business cards – which we provide completely free of charge – and help us get this invaluable, licence saving information into the hands of every motorist in this country.

Thanks again and, as always, stay safe out there,

URGENT video, watch it NOW, before it goes off-line!

This is going to be a very short and to the point e-mail update this week because the following video is just that important to watch – we will return to our more standardized format next week. Please get onto this ASAP.

One of our Members sent through the following video this week and it is plain and simply a must to watch right now, before it goes off-line. It is on the Today Tonight website, which you can access here – https://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video#  You will need to scroll down to the video entitled “All About the Money” – it’s right near the bottom – but please do this ASAP as this video will only be up for another day or two at the most because as they add new videos, the old ones drop off the end and cannot be accessed anymore. If you get this e-mail and go to the bottom of that list and it’s not there, it means it has already dropped off and we are too late. As we write this, it’s third from the bottom so please hurry!

This video is only 5 minutes long but will affect almost every motorist in Australia so please watch it and pass it on as quickly as you can. Not only are these cameras clearly about nothing more than revenue raising, but they are actually causing more accidents than they are preventing. Please have a look at our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – to find out more and be sure to add your signature.

The government is going insane with these cameras! They are simply there to extract every last dollar possible from every motorist and keep the motoring population under control. Seriously, this is not some weird “conspiracy theory” or anything like that. The revenue raised from these devices is budgeted into the Revenue Forecast for each State because they have no money and they want to control the motorists of this country simply to erode a little bit more of our freedom!

If we don’t wake up now and put an end to this it will plain and simply be too late! The only way to stop this insanity is for motorists to stop paying their fines – they can’t keep installing new cameras if they don’t have the money to pay for them. The only way to stop paying a fine is to fight it and the best way to fight a fine is if you are armed with our information.

Please, our system works – period. Just spend a few minuets reading over our Testimonial’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – and you will see that clearly for yourselves.

You have no excuse. You have been warned about what is happening, you can see it for yourselves very clearly and we simply must act collectively to send a united message to these governments agencies that we have had enough and we will not tolerate these revenue raising devices any longer. As was correctly stated in this report, cameras have been switched off and removed in the US and we can do it here too!

Please, if you’re not yet a Member or know someone who is still not armed with our information and ready to tackle this new wave of revenue raising cameras head on, then go to our Memberships page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and join up now

Please make sure you pass this video around and, some of you may want to request a copy directly from Channel 7 and upload it somewhere so that we can direct people to it, even if they take it off their site. In the meantime, don’t forget about our Facebook group – https://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=19117918208&v=info – and please feel free to confirm your postal address and we will continue to send business cards and bumper stickers out to anyone who wasn’t to help us spread the word.

Okay, we’re gonna let you go and watch that video now and we’ll get some more info to you next week.

As always, stay safe out there,

January 13, 2011
As an Australian motorist, you simply MUST read this!

First and foremost this week, our hearts go out to all those affected by the devastating Queensland floods, our thoughts and prayers are with you and we would urge every motorist to please check the following website for road conditions in those areas before traveling there – www.131940.qld.gov.au – and please remember that our number one priority is the safety of all motorists. Please be careful out there.

Now, onto the heading of this week’s e-mail. We’re obviously a little bit biased and, after 3 and a half years of very hard work – on-going research, answering e-mails 7 days a week, often at 1.00, 2.00 and even 3.00 in the morning etc. – so we believe we have earned a right to be somewhat biased but, it’s almost like 2011 has been earmarked to be the year for Aussie Speeding Fines. You see, in just the first week of this year, the media articles that have come across our desk explain, almost to the letter, exactly what we are about, what we are trying to achieve and how our Members are now successfully helping us make real changes.

Yes, we have had some great success stories already this year but the content of this e-mail is so important and so detailed that we’re not actually going to have room to include them thsi week. You see, we still receive e-mails every now and again – thankfully, not too often anymore – from people who question or doubt our motives or don’t really understand what we’re all about. So, if you’ve read our Vision for the Future page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/vision-for-the-future/ – but don’t still get the big picture, let us try and simplify it for you.

The current “system” of road rules simply does not work. The road toll continues to increase – as last year’s figures show – despite more and more innocent motorists being booked, each and every year. Quite simply, the wrong people are being punished – instead of the actions of a few stupid, ignorant drivers that should be punished – simply to raise as much revenue as possible for the government. We want these ignorant drivers punished and we want all other drivers to be left alone, to get on with their travel on our roads, safely and enjoyably.

Somehow, despite all the information to the contrary on our Home page – including a statement in bright red saying “This e-book is NOT designed so everyone can go around speeding lawlessly and just get away with it.”, some still seem to think that’s what we’re about. Let us assure you, that is simply not the case.

In fact, the first article we want to share with you this week, covers this point precisely and, as we said above, it’s almost like the media articles that came across our desk this first week of the year were tailor made to verify the true intentions of our website for all motorists. So, our first article this week is a story about one of the very “ignorant” motorists that we just mentioned. This “idiot” was caught doing 160 km/h in a 70 km/h zone after holding his licence for just 3 weeks! Please understand, this is precisely the type of person we want punished and taken off our roads!

You can read the full story here – https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/teen-hoon-loses-license-after-just-three-weeks-for-doing-160kmh/story-e6frf7kx-1225981429633 – including his admission that he was “just stupid”. Now, there are two very important points that we would like to make regarding this article and it’s inclusion as the first article we mention in our first e-mail of 2011.  A) We wouldn’t be including an article like this and, we certainly wouldn’t be including it as the first article of the year, if our sole aim was to get every motorist “off” every fine they got no matter what the circumstances. We would have either not included it at all or, buried it somewhere and put one of our success stories first and foremost, instead of the other way around. And B), and this is very important – this motorist would not have been caught and taken off the road at the actual time he was endangering lives if he wasn’t pulled over by an officer on the spot. A speed camera would not have been any use!

Please, take a moment to read through our Vision for the Future page and the first Chapter of our e-book – these are both completely free. You can access the first chapter, free of charge, by subscribing to our e-mail newsletter, which, if you’re reading this, you’ve probably already done. If not, please do so now. You see, we believe that there are two keys to making our roads safer. The first, is to educate motorists, before they are given a licence, on how to drive safely – please understand that has little or nothing to do with sticking to arbitrary speed limits and has everything to do with learning how to drive at speeds appropriate for the conditions and your level of experience. And secondly, we need more police out on the roads monitoring and adjusting the behavior of motorists at the time that they are doing the “wrong” thing – sending them a ticket 2 – 3 weeks after an event is useless! In fact, as has been detailed on our on-line petition page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/about-asf/petition-to-remove-cameras/ – speed and red light cameras actually cause more accidents than they save and should be immediately removed from use on our roads.

Just understand, for a moment, the whole principle of the speed camera sytem. These agencies would have us believe that “Speed Kills”, “Every K over is a Killer” or “There’s no such thing as safe speeding”, however, they then issue you a fine for 5 or 6 k’s over and expect you to A) make it home safely and B) continue driving the same way – because you haven’t been pulled over and notified that you were doing somethign “wrong” – for the 2 or 3 weeks that it takes for the fine to turn up in the mail so you can then pay it! Can someone please explain how or why we are still expeced to be alive 2 to 3 weeks after the fact and then pay the fine if the aforementioned 3 statements – and the many similar ones they constantly shove down our throats – have any measure of truth to them.

Hopefully, that part of our message is now loud and clear – educate drivers properly before you give them a licence and then monitor them with real human beings and stop them and adjust their behavior, on the road, whilst they are actually doing the “wrong” thing – not weeks later.

The next important point is to ensure these agencies only adjust the behavior of, and/or punish people, who are doing the “wrong” thing– notice the distinction between the two. Not every “wrong” behavior actually needs to be punished, some don’t – in some instances, people just need to be notified and have their behavior corrected on the spot – whilst other actions – such as the extreme one in the story above, need to be punished most severely. Another important distinction that everyone needs to understand, especially the those enforcing these policies – policy enforcers – ie. police – is that every time you punish an innocent motorist, it detracts from integrity of the overall purpose of the “system” just as much as failing to punish someone who is doing the wrong thing. We all know the story of the boy who cried “wolf” – he cried foul so many times when he didn’t need to that no-one took any notice when the problem was real.

And that is the fundamental problem with the completely flawed speed camera system that is currently in place – booking completely innocent motorists, more often than not – and also, the practice of punishing people who have clearly done nothing wrong, just to raise a few extra dollars and yet the truly dangerous drivers are still out there. The average motorist no longer believes in the integrity of the speed camera program – we have reported on this in previous e-mails, which you can read on our News/Updates page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/news-updates/ – and this is another reason it needs to be stopped/pulled/removed and new, true “road safety” strategies need to be implemented

Yet another example of this blanket punishment, that did absolutely nothing to improve road safety at the time and succeed only in punishing a completely innocent motorist, far more than the actual guilty one, can be found in the following story – https://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8193831/man-drives-mums-car-241km-h-in-100-zone  Here you have another stupid, ignorant driver who was clearly doing the “wrong” thing. However, there were no police on the street to stop this hoon from doing insane speeds, at the time he was actually doing them. Instead, someone noticed a speed camera photo – presumably some time after the person was no longer driving at those speeds – and turned up to his mother’s house and took her car away! Now, clearly, this guy’s mother had absolutely no control over what he did in her car if she wasn’t there, she clearly wasn’t speeding or doing anything wrong so why on earth should she be punished for something she clearly did not do and had no control over? Beign punished for a criem you did not commit goes against our most basic common law rights. How long are you going to let these agencies keep eating away at our basic, human rights? The system is ineffective, people no longer believe in it and it is, quite simply, a joke – however, not a very funny one for people, like this poor lady, who get caught up in it through no fault of their own. And it is these completely innocent drivers that we want to help.

So, now you hopefully have a better understanding of what we are trying to achieve and who we are trying to help. So, the next step is, how do we do that adn how do we effect those changes? Well, through our website and our e-book, we inform and educate motorists in respect to the truth about the effectiveness, or otherwise, of the current system; the fundamental flaws and faults with the devices they currently use and with the reasons why the current so-called “laws” are unjust and are not actually law at all. We then guide our Members, step-by-step, through exactly what they need to do apply our information to any unjust and unlawful fine they receive – not fines received by the above mentioned “idiots/hoons” – to defeat such fines and protect themselves when they know they have done nothing wrong but are being punished anyway.

Before we move on from this point, we get comments from time to time from people saying things like “But couldn’t anyone use your information to get off a fine whether they were doing the wrong thing or not?” and, the answer to that question is obviously yes, they could. However, please keep in mind that in almost any situation in life – we’re not just talking about traffic fines here – if you have done the wrong thing but you have enough money then you can pretty much “get off” anything – look at O.J. Simpson! Unfortunately, due to the fundamental flaws and faults with the current system and with the actual devices that are being used, far more innocent people are being booked than guilty ones.  So, we are doing our best to make our information affordable – you don’t need thousands and thousands of dollars to pay a lawyer – and accessible – you can download it in a few minutes – for all those innocent motorists that would otherwise simply become victims of an unfair and unjust system.

So, our final point this week is that our system works and, let us clarify what we mean by that. When we say it “works”, we mean that people who didn’t even know they could challenge a fine now know that they can. People who have no idea how to challenge a fine are now doing it quickly, simply and easily without any help from lawyers or the like. And, most importantly, people are fighting back against their fines and winning! In fact, we were blown away when we read the following article because it details not just one, not two but how three motorists, in the space of just one month, have successfully challenged their traffic fines. Please understand that for a mainstream media publication, such as the Brisbane Times, to publish a story like this is huge. Just cosider how many other people, each and every month, across each and every state of Australia, are successfully challenging their fines that the media is not reporting.

You can read the full story for yourself here – https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/drivers-3-police-0-in-court-speeding-challenges-20110104-19exc.html – and please note that all three of these people represented themselves in court – just like we show people how to confidently do in our e-book. Furthermore, not a single one of them actually had to prove they weren’t doing what they were accused of – unlike what these agencies keep trying to falsely tell people – all they had to do was show reasonable doubt in their specific cases – again, something we show you how to do, step-by-step, in our e-book. Please, read that last bit again because so often we hear back from Members saying they turned up to court and the Prosecutor, or worse still, the Magistrate, told them that the only way they could defeat a fine was to prove they weren’t speeding or that they have “heard of Aussie Speeding Fines and their information doesn’t work”. Yet, as this article shows, if you can show that there is doubt as to the reading that the police took, doubt as to whether the reading was accurate or even doubt as to whether a particular officer had the authorisation to use a specific device – all of which, and much more, we detail in our e-book – you most assuredly can beat your unjust and unlawful fine! And remember, these were all speeding fines – we also cover parking fines, red light camera fines – just like the one referred to at the end of that same article – un-registered vehicle fines, talking on a mobile phone etc. etc.

And finally, to come full circle – at the end of the day, all the current systems in place are plain and simply about revenue raising and, as we stated at the beginning of this e-mail, we are trying to have these blatant revenue raising strategies replaced with truly life saving strategies instead. To show you exactly what we mean by that, have a look at the following story – https://www.theage.com.au/national/pplate-scheme-stuck-in-low-gear-20110107-19iwo.html  Here was the first truly positive project, that we knew of, that would have had the best chance yet of making the biggest difference to the newest and youngest drivers on our roads. This would have been the first time, since we’ve been around, that all this revenue that has been raised under the false and misleading guise of “road safety” would have actually been used for that purpose. But, what has been the end result so far? Absolutely nothing. Why? Because this project actually costs money and doesn’t make them any and, the plain and simple fact is that these agencies simply don’t care about road safety whilst they are making around a billion dollars a year for the government.

Now, we’ve said it a thousand times already and we will say it thousand times more, if necessary, the only way the government and their corrupt agencies will take any notice of the truly life saving, road safety strategies that we detail on our Vision for the Future page and in our e-book, is when the billion dollars a year that is currently rolling into their coffers stops. And, the only way to stop that money rolling in is if people stop paying their fines. Clearly, you can’t just “not pay” a fine and expect there to be no repercussions, you need to “not pay” them by fighting them intelligently, as an informed and educated motorist – which is precisely what our e-book helps you do.

So please, if you’re not yet a Member or know someone who hasn’t joined us yet, please go to our Membership’s page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/memberships/ – and grab a copy of our information now, before it’s too late, before you or someone you knows contribures even one more cent to the government coffers and spend some time reading through our invaluable, licence saving information before the inevitable happens and you actually get an unjust and unlawful fine.

As always, in closing this week, we would urge you all to join our Facebook group – https://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=19117918208&v=info – and help us spread the word by requesting some of our business cards and/or bumper stickers, which we will send out to you completely free of charge. Please keep the media articles and stories of success coming in and we will do our best to launch our new Testimonials page – https://aussiespeedingfines.com/testimonials/ – in the next week or so.

In 2011, please stay safe out there,
