On the Northwestern Motorway this afternoon in the other lane I noticed a dark blue speed-camera van. Complete with magnetic orange light above the drivers door to fit in with the surrounding construction cars. I applaud the marked van they use, and can understand the need for unmarked vans but feel a step too far has happened when the camera vehicles are "disguised"

This makes me feel the police are being less than fully honest and does reduce my respect, re-enforcing the revenue concept.
I have no bias, never having had a camera speeding ticket , but do think the "contract" between police and public is stretched by this behavior

What do you folks think

Something just occured to me : it might be a OSH requirement for the Speed Camera Van to be fitted with a orange flashing light when in a "work zone" as a opposed to any attempt to disguise the van.

Thats kinda funny really if thats the case.
