"After the islands' first speed traps were installed two months ago, drivers showed their outrage by directing abuse and obscene gestures at staff operating the cameras from unmarked vans"
And I thought it was all surfing and floral shirts ...

When speed cameras were abolished in Ontario, the incoming Premier, Michael Harris, called photo-radar "a Government cash grab" and "an Orwellian cash machine".

As long as we put up with it, the more you'll see!!!! If we rebelled like them then they'd do something about it pronto.
