WOW, the truth has reared it's ugly head
Police focus on speed questioned - National - NZ Herald News
Unfortunately it seems the police just aren't willing to acknowledge the facts. It's interesting to hear the facts from Stu Kearns, a former police officer who spent many years working in the serious crash unit.
It seems that the article does demonstrate the police mentality of easy ticketing for speeding (aka revenue gathering) rather then doing more intensive police work for acts that involve smaller fines (stopping for a stop sign and red light running etc).
I for one, would be happy to see a red light camera at every major intersection in the country with much larger fines imposed. Red light running is a chronic problem ( I see it occur almost on a daily basis), worse than speeding in my book. Of course, more cops patrolling intersections would be even better.
