Specifically of interest is the vendor they chose.

Undetectable by 97% of U.S. RDs & has both IR & White flash capabilities.

This was on the local (Albany/Schenectady) TV news last night. The politicians were all crying the blues about the loss of anticipated revenue, and nothing else.

It'll be a real money maker !
It uses T-Series cabinet for the electronics & a planar antenna w/ very low power K-band FM radar.

Time for a Stinger ...with lottery help :smiley-laughing:Well, I'm not sure about it's capabilities just yet,for sure !
Having read all their technical filing documentation before it could be sold in the EU & what they filed here in U.S.A. for FCC "Type Acceptance" approval, I would say it probably has the best chance of it being successful. It does have built-in discriminator electronics, however- I'm not on board until an owner of one can show us video that it indeed does detect (at a good distance) the Gatso.

As this system is designed to be a revenue generator, I'm suspecting every effort has been made by Gatso to prevent early detection of this damn thing.

Why the drama ... It's only a RLC. How many red lights do you guys run??There are to many "No Turn On Red Light" signs where I drive (& in NY,too). These signs came about b/c of the morons who somehow got a drivers license when they are not qualified to walk & chew gum at the same time.

When exercising good judgement on my part & it's perfectly safe to do so....need I say more ?

These evil units are also great at fining multiple vehcials at once traveling in different directions.
Imagine, speed fine and red light fine at once, and 3 other cars doing the same.

It also can do point to point.

Overtaken and I are currently working with Stinger to create algorithms for long range detection of these beasts.

But USA welcome to some of our pain with low powered flashers. ):

Good luck to Oz, sure hope Stinger can throw you guys a safety line.

I like how local Counsel(woman) says they stop accident's and it's not about revenue.... Why Ms. Counselperson did Albany write $2,000,000 into their budget then? Or does the accident's somehow produce revenue that "do not happen" as a result of these RLC's....

Watch out if headed to the hospital's from out of town... funny how they hit this intersection... Central Ave. & Henry Johnson Blvd.

Hahah $50 fines.
That's cute.
It's $400 here and 3 points.
That's 1/4 of your points.

Americans get it so easy.
