ACC radar ruse aims to fool motorists (http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10625027&ref=rss)


ACC has been buying old police radar gear in a covert plan to thwart speeding motorists.
The radars have been mounted on power poles at up to 70 sites nationally, and are intended to fool drivers with detectors in their cars into thinking police are nearby.
Five radars have also been bought by school bus companies to slow motorists around children, and another six have been requested.

when you hear it go off,simply look around on poles until it keeps going off then you know where it is,then land mark it for the next time.. the novelty will soon wear off once detectors keep going off in the same area tho??

Lol, that's actually pretty damn smart, but seeing as all the new police radars cannot be detected by any of the radar detectors on the market people are just going to stop using them anyway. Once they realise this of course.
