--- Hey Declan, It turns out the company that supplied the Victorian speed cameras that were returning false readings was Poltech International (http://www.poltech.com.au). Poltech has systems installed in Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil, The Netherlands, Britain (the first digital device approved by the Home Office), and the US. In several related developments today: * Victoria Police has suspended issuing speeding fines until all the state's 47 fixed speed cameras have been checked for accuracy (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/11/13/1068674295970.html). This is in response to the revelation yesterday that a third camera has provided a false reading (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/11/12/1068329631374.html). * Poltech today appointed voluntary administrators.
