He isn't the first, they keep all the pictures to spot patterns, like if its always the same time of day etc.

Copper accross the road told me they review them on a weekly basis and anyone 'takin the piss' will be prosecuted. They also use the new vans with the automated reg plate reader next to some cameras, then they review the logs for that day and any descriptions of vehicles that match the forward facing cameras picture. uh oh Thumbs Down

Is this just Truvelo front facing cameras?

RFID is a joke for number plates , if you suspect your number plate of having an RFID chip in it , remove it , pop the plate (good thing bike plates are square) into a microwave over and give it a good 5 second blast @ 800watts , the RFID chip will die since by design they cannot be sheilded.

which if/when ID cards with RFID chips come in tin foil wallets will actually work (for once)

How can they prove that another red 1150RT from somewhere else in the country perhaps even europe with extra spots and a sticker wasn't traveling past that speed camera? It's a long distance tourer, not a sports bike so long distances aren't out of the question. Therefore there would be nothing unusual about seeing a foreign bike in the country, let alone one from another part of the country, maybe even Scotland Exclamation

In short, speed cameras are a national affair not area specific only - anyone can be caught. You must ask for them to submit hard evidence that your's is the ONLY bike in the COUNTRY like those photo's before you admit anything.

maybe you should buy a different coloured helmet and leathers (off ebay and not with credit cards of course) , to confuse them a bit ,

I'm often seen with red and black textiles but due to having to clean them now and again am sometimes seen in blue leathers.

I have to agree with EX3D they cant just go "there are only 3 bikes of this decription in the area" they have to have proof as to whose bike it was. Im going to uni in october, but im not going to change my V5, and countless others might not have. I think if they really are starting to do this, then whenever you arent in your area, give them some more photos to thumb through.

As for the RFID thing I heard they were planning to implement it with serious penalties for removing or tampering with the chip. Evil or Very Mad

bastards.

Would sticking it in a deep-freeze kill it? You could claim that you left the bike parked out in chilly weather.

I went though one the other day just to see what happens.

I was nearly blinded (I thought they weren't supposed to flash being forward facing)

safety camera my arse!!!

I wouldn't go through the same one (or for that matter, any in the same constabulary) repeatedly though as that's asking for trouble.
