[Warning: I am the original poster] I am sorry for not being clear enough: what I want is a government sanctioned system, with a revenue sharing agreement. Vigilantism can't work.
[Warning: I am the original poster] I don't want a vigilante thing, I want a revenue sharing agreement with the city government (equivalent of the city hall in the US).
The government doesn't have enough money to subsidize the basic food for more than half of the population, and goes to extremes to solve water and electricity shortages. And it's way too bureaucratic to hand them any money.
So ONE speed radar which can generate speeding tickets will pay for itself then for a second radar. And so forth.
[Warning: I am the original poster] You're talking about a developed society with rule of law, civil rights and an army of lawyers.
I'm talking about a developing country with a semi-democratical regime without money for fancy radars when water is scarce and more than half of the population need food subventions.
So I want *ONE* radar that can pay for itself and then for new radars. Two radars then will pay faster for a 3rd one. And so forth.
The government is poor, and busy with more basic necessities: water, electricity and food for an ever growing population. Hint: the policemen did not have radio stations.
What I envision is a revenue sharing agreement with the government, where the radars pay for themselves and any profits are being reinvested in more radars.
Yes, I want to work WITHIN the existing legal framework, by bootstrapping its enforcing. The radars are not some Charles Bronson vigilante tech toys, but should be installed with government consent under a revenue sharing agreement.
[Warning: I am the original poster] I don't want anything private. I want the system to be installed with government consent, as a revenue sharing system, with our share being reinvested in installing new radars.
[Warning: I am the original poster] People here do not use lights at night, never signal left or right, cross even 4 lanes if they want to turn. People don't use safety belts and very often they drive with their 3-yo in their lap. There are no traffic lights in the country (maybe 100, maybe 200).
So the only thing that will stop them from killing pedestrians and other traffic participants is to aim at their wallets.
The country is not a democratic one, so any attempt to do grassroots activity will end up in jail (for locals) and being send abroad (for me). The government has much bigger issues to care (for example providing electricity and water to an ever increasing population, or finding subventions for the basic food for more than half the population).
I don't need a movement, sorry. I need tech toys which will cost nothing for the government to accept, and which will bring money to self-replicate.
[Warning: I am the original poster] The motorcycle hit a couple who was crossing the street. Once the man hit the ground, he was also hit by a taxi. All traffic stopped and in the confusion, with everyone running to help the victims, the motorcycle guys just sneaked out and run away. The policemen had no radio stations to alert anyone.
[Warning: I am the original poster] I have no will to become a local Charles Bronson:-)
My idea is to offer the government a revenue-sharing system, with the government taking a part of the fines and our share being reinvested in new radars.
[Warning: I am the original poster] Once drivers understand speeding is gonna them money, they will slow down (thus reducing car accidents and fatalities). If it works like this everywhere in this world, it will also work in my city.
[Warning: I am the original poster] All I want is to make it easy and FREE for the government to start enforcing the traffic laws. They just do not have the money for these equipments. What I wants it a self-replicating system of such traffic radars, with a revenue sharing system where the government pays nothing, earns part of the generated fines, and our share goes toward installing new radars.
[Warning: I am the original poster] 100% true, I can't dream of changing anything. But I think I can persuade them to enforce existing laws, as long as this won't require any money from the government (on the contrary, it's supposed to bring them revenues, since it's a revenue sharing model, with our share going to finance new radars, thus making the system self-replicating).
The goal is to spend your money on catching speeders rather than installing traffic lights?
[Warning: I am the original poster] The goal is to start a "pay for itself" infrastructure of radars (and later on traffic lights) in order to reduce the accidents and the fatalities.
The traffic lights won't be respected (they are virtually unknown, and whenever they are installed nobody cares about them. SO the only practical solution is to have "something" which will make drivers pay if speeding. Sooner or later their own wallets will slow them down.
Yes, from the point of the view of the planet and every other living thing, we are the disease. [...] We have to stop destroying our food and ecosystems on which we rely and undo the damage we've done.
Sweetheart, if you have such harsh view of the current problems imposed by humanity over our planet and every other living thing, why don't you just suicide?
Really, if anyone feels so frickin' bad about us (the humans) as a whole, please feel free to remove yourself from the gene pool. The sooner, the better.
Assange is employing a multi-layered defense strategy and he seems to be quite smart in his plans and execution.
However, this is just bidding for time: through his actions Assange made himself an enemy of the USA and also of the NATO coalition on the ground in Afghanistan. While I don't believe Poland will actively pursue his arse throughout the world, I am pretty sure the Americans will get a benevolent help from almost all NATO partners. Ouh, did I mention Sweden is part of the Partnership for Peace framework since 1994?
I'm a journalist by trade and education and I can assure you his revealings were not of the Woodward & Bernstein kind. A responsible journalist is always protecting the sources and editing sensitive data (be it sensitive for national security ofr for the safety of innocents). Assange did nothing like this, and people are currently dying in Afghanistan because of that.
For all I can see, he's just a narcissistic enemy of the United States, and he'll be soon meeting his fate (which I assume involves some Gitmo holidays).
I recently visited Dubai and Flickr was already blocked there. I assume the rule is countrywide in the whole of the United Arab Emirates, nut just Dubai alone.
A proper advertisement agency will provide a complete package about how to present a given product and will organize a campaign for you. Google by no means does that.
You seem to ignore the fact that we (the users) are the real product of Google, which truly makes it an ad company.
As for organizing the campaign, they automated that part for AdWords customers.

[Warning: I am the original poster] I can't afford the best system, because it's not within my reach. But I can afford machines.
[Warning: I am the original poster] They have no means to enforce the laws.
By agreeing on a profit sharing system, the government will have an enticement to go after the speeders.

Some people go through life without ever reading Homer or listening to Bach
But I *watch* Homer (and Bart), you insensitive clod!
Just curious, but how can a non-US citizen be a traitor to the US?
Given his citizenship and actions, Assange is an enemy of the US.
