  1. How to fight them? on Traffic Cameras in D.C. · · Score: 1

    in Brazil the cameras on traffic lights and photo-radars are spread all over the cities and interstates - infested describes it very well. You guys know of any counteract to these pest ( besides vandalizing - not uncommon ) ? www.hackertronics.com ??? Maybe a Anti-Radar website? http://www.geocities.com/Pipeline/Dropzone/6760/in tern.html They helped a lot reducing accidents (24% in the first year?) BUT everybody has a bad feeling about how the "citation businnes" is handled. Guilt until proven innocent//Are you sure they have all the radars calibrated?//The contractors must show results, right?????// The money they get from it ( a LOT ) is not improving the quality of the roads, or the traffic, or the police, or anything, so they say it is all about safety and education ( yeah, right, how many tickets/day?) ( if you understand portuguese, see the site of the contractor that manages the radars in the city of Sao Paulo) Dersa They have some "mobile" units that are placed randomly everyday! but they are kind enough to give a list of the "fixed" ones: ( The site of Sao Paulo state traffic authority ) DER-SP

Very worth reading, he's a man who can make dreams come true. If you can read portuguese, go to: http://www.amyrklink.com.br and take a look at his newest boats and projects.
