Huge New Breakthrough that Declares all Parking Fines Unlawful!
Wow! We have been well and truly swamped with e-mails from Members and Subscribers since our last e-mail update – which was only 1 week ago! We are amazed at how many media articles have been forwarded to us and, even more amazing, is the content of those articles.
However, what blew us away even more this week was the confirmation that we received - on letterhead from the Attorney General’s Office – that confirms what we have been saying for the last three and a half years – local councils have no lawful authority under the Australian Constitution.
Unfortunately, the particular e-mail system that we use to send out these regular updates does not allow us to attach anything to our e-mails so the best we can do for now is to provide the wording of that particular letter for you below. We will endeavour to get this breakthrough letter uploaded to our website in the next few days, in a way that makes it accessible and downloadable to all Members and Subscribers.
In the meantime, you can read the exact wording below and you are more than welcome to confirm this for yourself with the Attorney General’s Office:
From: Attorney General – The Hon Robert McClelland MP
08 July 2010
Dear Mr Thompson,
I refer to your letter received on 10 June 2010 regarding the 1988 Referendum.
In 1988, four proposals to amend the Constitution were put to voters in accordance with section 128 of the Constitution. One of those proposals sought to give constitutional recognition to local government but the proposal was not carried.
The Constitution does not currently recognize local government. Any change to the Constitution to recognize local government would need to be approved by voters at a referendum. The Government will continue to explore reform, including constitutional recognition, to facilitate cooperation with local government.
Yours sincerely
Robert McClelland

Now, if you do not understand the huge significance of this letter, or you’re not sure how to apply to any and every parking fine you ever get, then please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now to find out, as it is all explained in great details in Chapter 9 of our e-book.
We are slowly but surely mounting a collection of similar breakthrough letters and e-mails, from other powerful and prominent levels of government, that are confirming all the things that we have been saying in our e-book for many years now. In fact, if you haven’t yet read over the correspondence from Dr Brittain – of the National Measurement Institute – and his numerous letters and e-mails that confirm that no speed detection device currently in use in Australia conforms to the requisite Commonwealth legislation, then we suggest that you spend some time reading over our past e-mail updates – which are all available on our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html
Every week, we receive some kind of confirmation that we are on the right track and that all the strategies and techniques that we explain in our e-book are valid. This confirmation comes in many forms, sometimes it is e-mails of support like the one we included from an ex-police officer in last week’s e-mail update, sometimes it is feedback by way of testimonials from Members who have successfully used our information to fight back against an unjust fine and win and, sometimes, it is from various media articles that prove the very points we have been making.
So, let’s have a closer look at some of this week’s media articles and see exactly what they are saying on the topic of speed cameras and see how closely that mirrors the very points we have been making.
Our first article this week is actually a segment from Today Tonight in Adelaide where an ex-cop fought back against an utterly ridiculous, unjust and unlawful fine and won. We’re sure you won’t be too shocked to note that, just as he was about to create a major precedent that others could rely on, his case was withdrawn – watch right to the end of the clip and listen to the insane excuse they gave for doing so.
To watch the clip you will need to go to the following page and scroll down the left hand side until you get to the video entitled “Speed Camera Madness” - http://www.todaytonightadelaide.com.au/ It’s currently the 7th one down but may be further down the list depending on when you check.
Please note this ex-cop’s words when describing the so-called “Road Safety Camera” that he was caught by – “There is no such thing” - and he finds the reference to be “offensive”. And this is one of the major points we have been making in respect to cameras all along, they are Revenue Raising Cameras, they are not Safety Cameras at all.
Now, apart from all our own research into speed cameras and the fact they actually increase accidents, which we have uploaded to our on-line petition page – http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - there is also a lot of other, independent research out there.
For example, check out the following page which categorically shows that, despite the enormous increase in the number of speed cameras being used, the road toll is not going down - http://www.caradvice.com.au/2852/road-toll-statistics-australia-getting-worse/ So where do they get off making wild and baseless claims that these devices “save lives” or that they are “Road Safety Cameras” – when the evidence clearly dictates otherwise!
The figures mentioned in this article speak volumes and, as the author states, “there was a seven per cent fall in the developed nations median road death rate per 100,000 population, but Australian’s rate rose two per cent …. it all goes to show the current road safety policy is failing.”
The fact that the increase in the number of speed cameras has had nothing to do with lowering the road toll is also clearly stated in this article from the UK - http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=22254 – the opening line says it all “Speed cameras do not have a major impact on road safety”. The article goes on to state that “Since the installation of the camera on Burton Road, for example, you look at the accident statistics and the number of incidents have gone up.” How many times do we have to say the same thing - “speed cameras cause more accidents than they stop.
Thankfully, in the UK, at least, they are doing something about this fact and, as the following article states, the government there is at least being honest by referring to speed cameras as the “war on motorists” and they are actually axing thousands of cameras across the country - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3067998/1000s-of-speed-cams-face-axe.html
Now, without getting too political, like most wars, the war that is raging against the motorist in this country is a complete waste of time that will achieve nothing except raising a hell of a lot of money for the corrupt people who started the war.
We have now shown all of you who have read through our website and receive our regular e-mail updates that speed cameras have been removed in Hawaii, in Canada, in a number of States across the US and now, they’re about to be removed in the UK as well. The simple fact is that if they can remove them there then they can remove them here – we just have to make them!
The difficulty is that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, there are still people out there who have been so badly lied to and deceived – in essence, brainwashed – that they actually still believe in the speed camera program.
As we have said all along, there are two major issues that need to be looked at in respect to speed cameras – firstly, do they actually cause people to slow down and secondly, is “speed” and slowing down a relevant factor in accidents anyway?
Now, we don’t know how many more articles, research papers or studies we need to show you that prove, categorically, that there are no statistics in existence that show that speed cameras actually make people slow down. So, let’s just accept that they don’t and move onto the next point.
If you have taken the time to read over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - you will note the research and studies that show that speed is just A factor – not the single factor – in just 5% of accidents. And, as we explained in last week’s e-mail, there are no statistics that can break this 5% down and show the number of accidents where “excessive speed” was the factor. Speed itself is never the problem it is speed linked to another factor or it is excessive speed for the conditions that is the problem
In fact, whilst trying to make a completely separate point, the following media article makes our point perfectly - http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/secret-traffic-survey-reveals-90000-a-week-bust-110kmh-limit/story-e6frea83-1225895813686 - because despite their statement that - “almost 90,000 motorists in a period of one week were recorded speeding in 110km/h zones on country roads.” - you will note the distinct lack of reporting of a single accident!
Please note, we’re not going to make any comment on whether exceeding the speed limit is “wrong”, we are simply making that point that if 90,000 motorists were detected exceeding the speed limit and, as they claim - "For every 5km/h over the speed limit, you double your chances of being in a casualty crash.” – why wasn’t there a single accident? No fatalities, no “casualties” not even a minor fender bender was recorded. The fact is that “speed” has little or nothing to do with accidents and there are no statistics on the planet that can prove otherwise.
So, if you have had enough of being taken for a ride by these agencies and their media rubbish, if you are ready to fight back and have these ridiculous revenue raising cameras removed from our roads then please help us spread the word and get a copy of our valuable, licence saving information into the hands of every motorist in Australia.
We still have plenty of bumper stickers and business cards available – completely free of charge – for those who would like to help hand them out. Just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some your way.
We are really starting to get some momentum now and make some real headway but we need your help to keep moving forwards and strike while the iron is hot. There is a Federal Election looming and we want as many signatures on our on-line petition as possible so we can send those that hope to have power, a strong and clear message - that the current so-called “road safety” system is not working and we want changes implemented that really will make our roads safer for all.
In the meantime, we will have to be content with fighting the current system using the information in our e-book. Once again, we have had a number of new testimonials through this week and, not including the few below – which we’re yet to upload to our website – we currently have over fifty testimonials from Members who have successfully used our information to fight back and win against unjust and unlawful fines. You can read them here - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - and we look forward to adding one from every one of you reading this in the very near future.
In the meantime, have a quick look at the latest feedback from some of our Members:
Hi guys!
An update!
I elected to go to court and entered a plea of 'Not guilty" on the basis that while I had been pulled over for 'an improper U-turn' the infringement notice read "an improper right turn" - something I definitely did not do...and I had witnesses.
Yesterday I got a letter telling me that (I quote):
"I have considered the circumstances surrounding the issue of this infringement and taking into account all information available to me I have decided to use my discretion in this instance and waive this infringement notice."
So...thanks very much for giving me the encouragement to challenge this blatant revenue gathering ploy. I appreciate all your help.
Kind regards, Chris
The next testimonial is actually two e-mails received a day apart where the Member successfully used our information to avoid paying two unjust and unlawful fines.
yeah ha ha,
well it has taken all day, and I only got a result, on one of them. I think the prosecutor thought he was having a easy run TODAY, I caught him having a laugh with the court reporter as I walked in to register. He didnt know I was the one he was laughing at, he was pretty down in the mouth by the end of the day when the judge said CASE DISMISSED.
It took all day just to run a statute of Limitations argument, he wasnt real well prepared for me to be a bit organised and Im exhausted. So it ran overtime and now I have to go back tomorrow for the second. Im, going to run the same argument, I expect the prosecutor wont be so ill prepared this time, but it is the same judge and he has the same issues in his head, hopefully I can be better prepared and he will not take so long.
You are right, they dont work a lot on the stand do they. Wish I could get a job like that, 18 hour days suck.
wish me luck
Hi guys,
well the matter was withdrawn the next day by the prosecution under the same stat of lim argument I put forward the day before.
Once again thanks very much for your help, keep up the great work, hope my info is helpful
David
As always, we thank you all for your continued support.

New Speed Cameras Coming to an Area Near You - Watch Out!
We have been absolutely inundated with e-mails from Members this past week or so, forwarding us articles about new speed cameras that have either been installed or are earmarked for installation. Then, on top of that, there are all the new mobile revenue raising cameras that are coming on-line.
Now, we appreciate that we keep saying it again and again but we will continue to say it until the message gets through to everyone – these cameras have nothing to do with road safety and everything to do with raising revenue. And, if we don’t all band together and fight back against these ridiculous and unjust fines then, very soon, it will all be too late, as the country will simply be saturated with them.
We don’t mean to be rude but, if this happens then we will have no-one to blame but ourselves. We need every motorist in Australia to fight back against every unjust and unlawful fine they receive. Hopefully some of the following articles will shock you, and those you know, into action.
Our first story this week is the one we have had forwarded to us the most, the new mobile speed cameras that are being deployed across NSW that can steal money from 6 innocent motorists a second!
The title of the story, “New Speed Cameras Deliver a Fast Buck” says it all - http://www.news.com.au/national/new-speed-cameras-deliver-a-fast-buck/story-e6frfkwi-1225890292548
The telling fact that should be of most concern to everyone reading this is that Macquarie Bank is involved in these cameras and, as we all know, banks are plain and simply in the business of making money – and a lot of it – so is there anyone reading this who is in any doubt as to the true purpose of these new cameras?
Once again, we know we’ve said it a thousand times before but people still don’t get it so we’ll say it one more time – if speed cameras really do work as a deterrent and cause people to slow down, as these agencies continue to falsely claim, then how on earth can they predict or forecast any amount of revenue from speed cameras, let alone such a ridiculously high one? The only way they can do that is if they know the cameras are inaccurate and/or deliberately set to give false readings and the speed limits are set artificially low.
About the only sensible line in the whole article is the last one – let’s see if the NRMA actually manage to get any such review!
And here is a follow up article that suggests that only 6 of these cameras will be operating, despite the fact that the numbers to support such a claim simply do not add up - http://www.smh.com.au/drive/motor-news/just-six-mobile-speed-cameras-for-the-state-20100719-10hzi.html
Remember how we mentioned that Macquarie Bank was involved in these cameras? Who honestly thinks for a second that once these devices start raking in tens of millions of dollars each that they are not going to push for tens, if not hundreds, to be rolled out across the country?
Of greatest concern to us though, is the absolutely false line that suggests “Mobile speed cameras had reduced the road toll by 25 per cent in Queensland and 34 per cent in Victoria”. This is an out and out blatant lie and we challenge anyone out there to prove otherwise. Now, the issue is that every one of you reading this understands this fact but how many others out there will read that garbage and actually believe it? The media should be held to account and, if they can’t produce verifiable facts to back up this outlandish statement then they should be forced to retract it and apologise to all the gullable people who read it and believed it.
In fact, as the following article proves, no-one can substantiate these figures because they don’t exist - http://smh.drive.com.au/roads-and-traffic/speed-rules-make-money-but-not-safer-roads-20100710-104t2.html
Finally, a truthful, informative and sensible media article on the subject, which just so happens to arise, at the end of the article, the very same points that we have had on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - for over 3 years now!
Unfortunately, it’s not just NSW that is about to get an influx of unjust and unlawful fines, Victoria has again been earmarked for new cameras, as if they don’t; already have enough. We read a saying once that said something along the lines of “Victoria – if you come here with a licence, we’ll make sure you leave without one” and the following page shows precisely how they are going about that. Here is a list of all the new cameras, in addition to all the existing ones, that are coming - http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/d3175c00430c1b9d8f4ddf4f501887b2/precommissioned_cameras_20100720.xls?MOD=AJPERES&CACHEID=d3175c00430c1b9d8f4ddf4f501887b2
The fact is that speed cameras, whether fixed or mobile, do not save lives, they do not reduce the road toll and, in fact, research and studies have shown that they actually increase the number of accidents. If you haven’t yet done so, please take a few moments to read over our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and find out the truth about these ridiculous revenue raising devices and add your signature to our page to help bring about an end to this corrupt and ineffective system.
Unfortunately though, it doesn’t stop there, we also received the following article which is now proposing a tolerance as low as just 4 km/h over the posted speed limit which, apart from being absolutely ludicrous is also totally unlawful, given the specifications of the Australian Design Rules.
Remember, the ADR’s are Commonwealth legislation and, at best, these new so-called “laws” are only State and, as per Section 109 of the Australian Constitution – “When a law of a State is inconsistent with a law of the Commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be invalid.”
You can read the article for yourself here - http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/7564793/fines-for-4km-h-over-speed-limit/
Now, just go back for a minute and combine this article with the other points we have raised in this week’s e-mail update: You have Maquarie Bank, as part owner of 6 new cameras – wholly and solely so they can earn more money – there has already been discussion of more cameras being released – that can fine 6 drivers per second – and now they’re talking about reducing the tolerances to just 4 km/h over the limit.
We have just one question for you – how long do you honestly think you are going to keep your licence for, no matter what state you are in, if you don’t have our information?
So, on that note, if you are not yet a Member or you know someone who isn’t and if you think your Driver’s Licence might be of some value to either yourself or someone that you know, then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now. Remember, you have a full 30 days to read over our information and if you don’t think it provides you with everything you need to know to protect yourself against the outlandish new practices being brought in then simply let us know and we will give you a full refund – we can’t be any fairer than that!
Now, it’s not all doom and gloom this week. We know that this week’s e-mail update has been a little disheartening to many of you – after all, we supposedly elected these people to look after us and look what they’re doing.
However, as the following article shows, there is some light at the end of the tunnel -
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/7895310/Arizona-turns-off-speed-cameras.html
The key fact in this article is that only 16% of people just blindly “paid up” when they got their fines and that’s what an impact. We know that if we can get enough people to band together and start sending a united message to these agencies that “enough is enough” by fighting back against any and every unjust and unlawful fine they receive, then we can make a difference.
The only thing holding us back right now is the apathetic attitude of the general Australian motoring population who complain that “it’s too hard to fight back against fines”. That is absolute rubbish and, as the following testimonials show, armed with our e-book, you can fight back and win very easily.
This first e-mail is from a Member who fought back against the very type of fine we have been discussing in this e-mail update – a mobile speed camera fine in Queensland:
Hi Aussie Speeding Fines,
I received a speeding fine in the post from a mobile speed camera on the Gold Coast in Queensland Jan 2009, I elected to go to court as I was sure that I wasn't speeding. I tried writing a letter to the Queensland Police Services but they declined to let me off, so I had to go to court after receiving a summons from them. I pleaded not guilty on my first attendance at court and over the next year I went to court on 3 separate occasions but did not get a chance to state my case. After nearly 1 and a half years I received a letter and then a phone call from Queensland Police Services to say that they would be withdrawing the charge. A loss for them and a win for me. I would recommend to anyone in Queensland who is sure that they were not speeding, to go ahead and fight all the way.
Regards,
Polly
The second relates to a parking fine in NSW:
Testimonial for Aussie Speeding Fines
I have a residential parking permit. Because I work out of home I don’t check up on my car every day.
I parked my car in the designated parking zone and left it there for a week. When I returned to my car I was shocked to find that I had received 2 parking fines. During the middle of the week the council had decided to change the residential parking zone to a construction zone.
My initial response was to contact the council and explain what had happened. Their response was
“We have examined the details of the penalties and considered the issues you raised. Based on the circumstances you described we cannot, under our guidelines, cancel or offer leniency for these offences. We confirm the penalty notices were legally issued and conclude that the penalties still apply.
The issuing officer reported the restrictions and were clearly signposted as Works Zone. Unfortunately, there is not period of grace when new restrictions are introduced or existing restrictions are varied. They take effect immediately….”
As you can imagine, I was upset at the prospect of having to fight this in court, this was till I came across your material.
I applied it step by step. Not only did I get both fines cancelled, I got a written apology of the inconvenience and a verbal one via phone.
Thanks to Aussie Speeding Fines for sharing their information.
Paul W.
These are obviously only a small selection of the many new testimonials we received over the past week or so. If you would like to read them all then please go directly to our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - but make sure you have some time up your sleeve because there’s a hell of a lot there now.
Now, we know that we’re on the right track with what we’re doing – the following e-mail we got from an ex-police officer this past week tells us so:
Hi guys,
Another fantastic email. Keep up the great work. As an ex-cop I can only be amazed at your guts and tenacity.
These ‘toadying’ cops who provide this illegitimate money to their corrupt politician mates should all be jailed for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice!! Could you please send me some business cards and bumper stickers. I will gladly hand them out and display them.
Warm Regards,
Owen
But we can’t do it all ourselves, we need your help. So, any of you who would like to take a pro-active approach and would like to help spread the word and get the message out there, we still have bumper stickers and business cards available – completely free of charge – so if you would like us to mail you some, please just send us your postal address and we will get some out to you.
Now, as a final note, we mentioned a few weeks back that we had a very special e-mail coming your way which shows you some new and exciting steps you can take – over and above the ASF system – to take a stand for your rights. We note that this e-mail is getting a bit long and the special offer that we have coming for you deserves your undivided attention anyway so we will send it as a separate e-mail in the next day or so - keep a keen eye out for it.
As always, we thank you all for your continued support. We appreciate all the Members who have taken the time to e-mail us with stories of their success so please, keep them coming!
Stay safe out there,
July 8, 2010
This is why we need to fight EVERY fine we get!
We have been horrified at some of the media articles that have been forwarded onto us by ever diligent Members this past week or so. If the following stories don’t shock you into action then we really don’t know what will.
The first is a story of absolute blatant corruption regarding the red light camera program in Texas - http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/31/3189.asp
The free cars are bad enough but it is all corrupt dealings inside “the system” that allows the program to continue even though they know it was implemented corruptly and even though members voted 3-1 to remove the wording, they got around that too!
Now, although this story comes out of the US, it would be a very naïve person indeed who doubted that very similar things are happening here in Australia.
Next we have a very telling story of double standards from Victoria. The good old Victoria Police are up to their corrupt antics yet again - http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/police-speed-warnings-20100707-100nz.html
The opening line really says it all, “Victorian police 25 times more likely to escape a fine when they are caught speeding than members of the public.” Seriously, whatever you say after that, no matter how you try and explain away this fact or excuse it is, quite simply, a joke.
If the police were really there to serve and protect us, as they are supposed to be, if they were truly transparent in their actions then there would be absolutely no need for Aussie Speeding Fines to even exist.
But, as we well know, the police and similar agencies operate corruptly, deceitfully and try and hide as much as possible from the very people that they are supposed to be serving. This is why it is so important to get a copy of our e-book before you get a fine, so that you know all your options and legal rights.
Do, you know the requirements to request leniency in your state? Do you know the correct format for requesting it? Do you know which laws are actually law and which are just “rules” and the important difference that makes to you?
Do you know the Commonwealth laws that all speed detection devices must comply with, yet they don’t? Do you know the site selection criteria that must be followed for mobile speed detection devices? Do you know and understand the guidelines for use - and how easy it is to “create” a false reading - when using a radar or laser gun?
Are you certain that you weren’t speeding but received a fine anyway and want to know the quickest and easiest way to stand up for your rights and fight back to prove your innocence? If you are unsure of the answer to any of these questions then you need to read our e-book now! These are your rights, how can you possibly stand up for them and fight for them if you don’t even know what they are?
So, if you’re not yet a Member then please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
The next bit of blatant lies and deception comes direct from the NSW RTA site on speed cameras and their complete and utter lies as to why these purely revenue raising devices are required - http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/speedandspeedcameras/mobilespeedcameras/mobile_speed_camera_faqs.html
There are so many lies, errors and blatantly deceptive statements on that one web page that we couldn’t possibly mention them all but you need to understand the main ones. Firstly, the opening lines are complete and utter garbage that cannot be substantiated in any way – “Speed is the greatest contributor to road trauma. Mobile speed cameras are being re-introduced to reduce the road toll. Sadly, last year 213 people were killed in speed-related crashes on NSW roads and speeding was the largest contributor to the increase in the 2009 road toll.”
Please spend some time looking over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html – and check out the statistics that are there. Speed is not the greatest contributor to road trauma at all, in fact, speed is only a factor in 5% of accidents!
Where is the data to substantiate the completely baseless claim that 213 people were killed in speed related crashes? The data simply does not exist yet they will keep using outlandish statements such as this to try and justify the need to extract more and more money from innocent motorists under the completely false guise of “road safety”
The next line is complete rubbish too – “The NSW Government recognises that mobile speed cameras are effective in reducing speeding leading to a reduction in crashes. The introduction of mobile speed camera programs in Queensland and Victoria has reduced casualty crashes in those states by at least 25 per cent.” Again, where is the data to back up these ridiculous claims? Everyone of you reading this must surely understand that if they had any data that could substantiate any of this they would plaster it all over their website – just like we provide substantiated data and proof of all of our claims on ours. The fact is that the data doesn’t exist and yet people will read these statements and actually believe them.
Please, we urge every one of you reading this who is based in NSW, to please let us know which of you the next line applies to – “Recent RTA research indicates strong support for enforcement amongst NSW drivers, with a large number of drivers supporting an increase in enforcement.” What “research”? Where are the results of this so-called “research” and who are the people that actually believe in these ridiculous revenue raising tactics, let alone “support” them?
Finally – because if we mention every point, this e-mail will never end – we have this line – “Mobile speed cameras, like fixed speed cameras, are subject to rigorous regular testing, certification and calibration in accordance with legislated requirements. This testing is conducted routinely to ensure that the accuracy of cameras is maintained.”
It is this line that concerns us the most because firstly, this is a total and utter lie and secondly, because people will read this and think that these devices are accurate and therefore they can’t be challenged and nothing is further from the truth. Please, spend a few minutes reading over our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html – and, in particular, note the numerous e-mails from Dr Brittain, of the National Measurement Institute, that confirm that no speed detection device currently complies with the requisite Commonwealth legislation as they suggest in this statement.
There is only so much we can do ourselves, we need people to get together and collectively send a message to these agencies that these types of blatant lies and deception will not be tolerated. Someone out there needs to take on agencies like the NSW RTA and ask them to either “put up” or “shut up” – either provide the statistics and data to substantiate these statements or remove them – now.
So, what else can you do to help put an end to this on-going corruption, lies and deception?
Well, firstly, you can become a Member and get a copy of our e-book. Then, once you have all our information, strategies and techniques at your fingertips, you can fight back. You can read articles such as the one below, which again explain the problems and major flaws with the current system, that try and subvert our common law rights to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/court-20120-red-light.html Once again, although this article comes out of the US, the principles are the same here. A photograph from a speed or red light camera is just here-say. Who is making the actual complaint? Who is the informant? Will you be able to cross examine the camera to see if the camera saw you speeding?
We all need to understand our rights fully so that hopefully the next media article will be a report of the raise in general members of the public – and not just the police – that have successfully fought back and defeated unjust and unlawful traffic fines.
We would ask you all, if you haven’t yet done so, to look over the additional information on speed and red light cameras that show how they actually increase accidents. This information can be found on our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and we ask you all to add your signature to that on-line petition and ask others to do the same.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind you all that we still have business cards and bumpers stickers available, completely free of charge – we even post them out at no cost to you – so if you would like to help us spread the word then just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some your way.
As always, we thank you all for your continued support. We appreciate all the Members who have taken the time to forward these, and many other, media articles onto us and we also enjoy receiving all the wonderful testimonials from the Members who have had success with our system and have taken the time to write to us. If you haven’t yet seen all the various types of fines that can be beaten using our information then please take a few moments to read over our ever lengthening Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
We will leave you this week with just a few of the new testimonials that we received in the last week:
Hi there Aussie Speeding Fines Team,
My case (stopping in a bus zone during school time) was heard after 11 months of letters and electing to go to court, the fine was dropped and no points lost.
I will continue to encourage family and friends to take up your membership and save themselves in the long term.
Keep up the good work.
Joe
Thank you for all the information in the E-book.
I got a fixed camera speed fine (69 in 60 zone) and objected. Police just sent a court date notice, since I disputed the fine, warning that court costs could be added if I did not pay the fine.
I got all my information together since I had your e-book instructions. It was no deal at the first time in court only me saying " not guilty" and setting a day for my court appearance. Again I had all the information and felt confident ( a truck in line with my car on all pictures ). The prosecuter presented his information with papers on the operator ,appointment of Authorised Persons, test certificate of the camera, photo of "offence" and some other from a delegate of RTA.
The Magistrate started to look at the papers and started to ask what an Authorised person was authorised to do. The prosecutor did not know and I would not tell him ( I had worked it out). Then the Magistrate asked how the various papers related to each other, one did not mention the date and time, another did not mention my registration number and the test certificate did not mention the camera or where it was installed only the measuring device.
The Magistrate just told the prosecuter that this is just not good enough, there is no case. Then he turned to me and asked "and by the way what was your objection to the fine?" I just said that I do not speed along that road I know it too well and that the truck in the picture must have interferred with the measurement. I had lots of other information but as you recommend just thank them and walk away.
But it reinforces your notes to check all the information provided very carefully. I had not made the connection because I knew how the documents fitted together but the Magistrate did not and wanted to get the whole picture fortunately enough.
Best regards and thanks again
Jens
Stay safe out there,

Further proof from Dr Brittain of unlawful speed measuring devices being used!
It’s been another very busy week here at ASF with a number of new testimonials coming in from Members who have successfully used our information to defeat the growing number of unjust and unlawful fines being issued each day.
And, speaking of fines, there have been a number of new media articles that have come across our desk that highlight the need to be ever vigilant and stay up to date with our information so that you are fully informed, educated and prepared for when the inevitable happens and you, or someone close to you, receives an unjust and unlawful fine.
However, of most significance this week, is that we have another confirmation from Dr Brittain – from the National Measurement Institute – that no speed detection devices currently in use in Australia meet the Federal requirements that they need to, in order to comply with Commonwealth legislation. Please see Dr Brittain’s latest e-mail below:
Dear Mr H,
I refer to your phone call of earlier today on the above. Further to this, I confirm that some measuring instruments in use for certain purposes are exempt from the trade measurement provisions of the Act. These exclusions are detailed in section 4B of the Act and do not include vehicle speed measuring instruments.
This e-mail is entirely without prejudice and nothing in it is intended to constitute legal advice express or implied.
I trust that this information satisfies your enquiry
Yours sincerely
Dr Richard Brittain LLB
Acting Manager, Legal Metrology Policy
Legal Metrology Branch
National Measurement Institute
Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research
It really doesn’t get any clearer than that “These exclusions ….. do not include vehicle speed measuring devices”. So, no matter what rubbish the police try and tell you by way of their reply letters and the like, not a single speed measurement device in this country is legal – period.
Obviously, knowing this fact is a very important first step but knowing how to apply this information to defeat an unjust and unlawful fine is the next task and that is obviously where our step-by-step instructional e-book comes into play.
So, now that you know for certain that the principles we explain in our e-book are rock solid, the next step is to put that information into practice and fight every unjust and unlawful traffic fine – not just speeding fines – that you receive. And, if you’re not yet a Member, or you know someone who isn’t, then please go to our Membership’s page now - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join the ever growing team of informed and educated motorists of this great country.
We mentioned a little earlier about some of the latest testimonials we received this past week and we have included a sample of those for you below. Should you still have any doubts as to the guaranteed effectiveness of our information, these should help clear that up.
More importantly, what we hope the following testimonials will do is show you how easy it really can be to defeat all manner of traffic fines using our information. Most importantly though, you will note that these Members mention the fact that they didn’t lose demerit points.
Whilst most people aren’t necessarily concerned by the monetary fine, almost everyone is – or at least should be – worried about the loss of demerit points. Remember, once demerit points are lost it take three years to get them back and, with the increasing number of unjust and unlawful fines being issued each and every week across every state of Australia, it is just far too simple to your licence now. This is why it is so important to fight every fine and we trust that the testimonials below will really show you how easy it is to do that. Please excuse the spelling/grammar in these testimonials but we forward them on and add them to our testimonials page just as we receive them so that there can be no suggestion that they are anything but 100% authentic.
So, the first testimonial is a very simple e-mail that shows that, whilst it can sometimes take a little bit of time to defeat a fine, it is rarely as difficult as you think it might be and it is always worth it. Just stop for a minute and think what demerit points and, ultimately, your licence are really worth to you!
Hi the team at aussie speeding fines,
I was driving on the western ring road in a Coach that was speed limited at 100 KM per hour and was detected with a speed camera at 108km per hour
Well thanks to your E-Book and after12 months of letters and electing to go to court we finely had the fine dropped and lost no points
I can not thank you enough for your E- Book and the updates
Regards
John
The next one is a short and sweet one that again shows how simple it is to use our information to save your demerit points and your licence.
Hi,
Thanks for your continued advice. About a month ago I received a speeding ticket for doing 72 in a 60 zone. I followed the advice in the book and requested leniency.
Success!! I got off with a warning. Saved myself about $250 and three points.
Thanks again.
Phil.
Our final one shows how important it is to be armed with our information before you get a fine because this way you can often avoid it being issued in the first place or, defeat it straight once you receive it.
Hi there,
First of all I’d like to tell you how much I really love this ebook, it has saved me a high range speeding fine already by going and questioning the operator of the speed camera to find that the operator was using out of date calibration devices to measure my speed on a road that was flanked by metal guard rails over a crest on uneven ground !!!
When I questioned the operator he become very defensive and started to verbally abuse me, lucky I had it all recorded on my iphone !!
Ii have just recieved a infringement notice from a police officer whos radar said I was doing 76 in an 80 zone then he estimated my speed at 98 ???? go figure, I will definately fight this one too, he also become abusive when he seen that I knew what I was talking about and that I would not admit to speeding,
Thanks aussie speeding fines !!!!! you guys are awesome.
Regards, Heath
Please keep in mind that we receive new testimonials every week and we can’t fill every e-mail update with them because you would get sick of reading them all. However, if you have a specific fine that you are concerned about or you are wondering whether our information will work for your particular situation then please spend some time reading through our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html – and you will almost certainly find a Member who was in an identical situation to you and has successfully used our information to defeat the very same fine you may be faced with.
Remember to also to take some time to read over our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html - which is also updated every week or two. Some of you reading this have been Members or Subscribers for many years now and some of you will just be new to our site. Our News/Updates page contains every e-mail update that we have ever sent out so, even if you’re only relatively new to our information then you can check back through the updates and bring yourself up to speed very quickly. Also, if you are a prospective Member, you will also get an idea of both the quality and quantity of completely free update information that we provide to our Members and we do that ate absolutely no cost for life!
We also mentioned that we received, or heard about, a few media articles this past week as well. We can’t include every one because this e-mail would never end but the one below really struck a chord with us on a number of levels and we’re confident that it will give you an idea of how completely out of control this current corrupt and ineffective system is and why it is so important for us all the stand together and send a united message to the people in charge that enough is enough.
The story out of Adelaide that shows that the South Australian government clearly isn’t making enough by fining innocent motorists through the use of faulty speed detection device that do not comply with Commonwealth legislation so they have now decided to increase speeding fines across the board.
Seriously, we know that some people out there still believe that the issuing of speeding fines is a good thing. Now, the fact is that more speeding fines are issued each and every year, than the year before and, as a whole, the road toll still continues to climb so how on earth can speeding fines “be a deterrent to speeding” or “save lives” or any of the other ridiculous claims that they make. But, put that fact aside for a moment and consider the following:
Possibly, if they made speeding fines $2,000 each or something along those lines, then people might be deterred – although they would have to prove that A) issuing fines was lawful – which, pursuant to Section 92 of our Constitution, it is not and B) that the speed detection devices they rely on for issuing these fines are accurate – which they are not. However, raising fines by $10 - $15 is going to have absolutely zero effect on whether they are more of a deterrent or not and it is simply a mathematical calculation designed to bring X amount of dollars worth of extra revenue in each year.
Please, we ask every single one of you reading this – over 12,500 Members and Subscribes now – who honestly signed up for, agreed to or voted for this?????
Now, if this frustrates, upsets or infuriates you, as it does us, then we would urge you to please do your part to help put an end to this ridiculous revenue raising system and to bring in some of the truly life saving and road toll reducing strategies that we mention on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
The first thing you can do is go to our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and find out even more information as to why all speed cameras should be removed from our roads and why they have been shown to actually cause more accidents then they save. We would invite you to add your signature to that page and then urge everyone you know to do the same.
Finally, if you really want to help make a difference then please e-mail us your postal address and we will send you out some business cards and/or bumper stickers so that you can help get the word out to as many people as possible, about our licence saving information, before they get a fine.
As always, we would like to thank you all for your continued support, for sending us all those wonderful testimonials and for keeping us abreast of the relevant media articles in your part of the country.
We have a very special e-mail coming out in the next week or so, which should be of interest to all of you, as we will show you some new and exciting steps that you can take – that are completely separate from any of the information in our e-book – that will really help make some positive changes in this country, on a number of different levels. So, keep your eyes out for that one.
In the meantime, stay safe out there!

Proof that the ASF system works on ALL traffic fines – just in time for the long weekend!
Well, the long weekend is just a few hours away which means the revenue raisers will be out in force as this is the last long weekend – and therefore last chance for them to grab as much cash as possible – for a good 3 – 4 months, in most states.
But, fear not, once again, Aussie Speeding Fines is here to save the day. You see, since our last e-mail we have received a heap of new e-mails from Members who have successfully used the ASF information and techniques to effectively defeat a number of unjust and unlawful fines.
We will do our best to get all of these new Testimonials up on our website over the course of the next few days but, for those of you who can’t wait, or if anyone still has any doubts about our information and system, please have a read over the following. Keep in mind, the ones we have included here are just a small selection of what we will be putting up over the next few days and simply provide a cross-section of different ways our information has been used to defeat unjust and unlawful fines of all types.
Our first testimonial is very short and sweet and was tacked onto the bottom of a quick question – please note, that, despite having over 12,500 Members and Subscribers now and receiving in the vicinity of 300 – 500 e-mails a day – we still personally answer every e-mail we receive and we never charge a cent for this personalized service.
Here was the feedback from this particular Member - please excuse the English but we pass on all Testimonials just as we receive them so there can be no doubt as to their authenticity. This one relates to a toll fine:
Hi there,
Thanks for saving me the $150 I save though! Just for an unpaid toll!!! And I wasn't even the driver!
Regards,
Mick.
Next, we have some feedback from a Member that just recently purchased our e-book and defeated a minimal speeding fine:
Withdrawal of Infringement Notice.
Hello.
I would like to let you all know that after ordering your book, I used it to contest a camera ticket of 6km over the 60 km speed limit on the road I was on. I pleaded that my good driving record, and the low amount over the limit, was grounds for withdrawing the fine. I sent the letter when I wanted to take the case to court. I have been issued with a warning, but have lost no points or money to the bandits. Thanks for your book which has helped me considerably and has repaid its investment 3 times over.
Joseph
Here is another short but sweet one we recently received about a parking fine:
Hallo to the fantastic Team of ASF,
Thanks again for the unbelievable fast reply. (You must be working whilst I'm sleeping.) I'll let you know how the case turns out.
By the way I took your advice about the parking ticket and hubby was let of with a warning. Good result. Hope everyone has a great weekend,
Sonja
And another short but powerful one, this time relating to a red light camera fine –
Just dropping you a quick note.
I recently won my case at the county court (turning right on red arrow). I argued that both images from the camera showed me "in" the intersection, where is the image showing me "outside" the intersection on the red arrow that proves I entered the intersection on the red.
The case was dismissed on these grounds. Keep up the good work. If it wasn't for sites like yours I would not have contested the case :)
Steve
The next testimonial shows another typical and deliberate “error” that the police use to fine motorists unjustly and unlawfully – they stand near a change of speed sign and point the device into the higher zone and get your reading there and then state that you were doing that speed in the lower zone but again, using our information, even this can be defeated.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your encouraging letters regarding speed cameras and going to court.
I was booked for speeding in a 40km zone, when in actual fact, the policeman lazered me in the 50km zone.
I went to court and explained to the Judge that the road has both 40km and 50km zones in this small stretch of road, I admitted being over in the 50km zone but was adament I was doing 40km in the 40km zone and that the policeman must have made a mistake.
The Judge said "Due to my good driving record, I am cancelling this offence".
Thanks again and keep up the good work for fighting against revenue raising cameras and our greedy governments which are hooked on revenue raised for trivial speeding fines.
Yours sincerely,
Heather
The following testimonial has a lot more detail and explains how simply an unjust and unlawful fine can be defeated using our system:
Hi ASF Team,
I reside in Sydney but on 2nd Jan this year I was driving back to Syd with my wife from the Victorian West Coast up the Princes Fwy. In Feb we received a speeding camera ticket for Hoppers Crossing on the Princes Fwy.
Our normal response would have been for me to bleat with some excuse and then pay it.
This time, being aware of your nomination process, we wrote the 1st letter stating that we could not recollect who was driving at the time as we changed drivers in that area but could not remember where it was in relation to the camera site. That was a harrowing morning as it was heavy Saturday morning traffic, an unfamiliar stretch of road and never ending speed camera sites. In all good consciousness, we could not sign a declaration nominating a driver as it could have been either one of us.
They sent back another letter stating that we had to use the nomination form so I sent back a similar letter to the first along with Civic's Nomination form filled out with similar reason and not signed as I could not make that sort of a statement.
Well, you wouldn't believe it, last week we received or notice of them dropping the matter. We saved ourselves $146 and one demerit point.
This would not have happened if I didn't educate myself thru you and the eBook.
Many thanks,
Love your work,
Wolfgang
As you’ve probably noticed by now, these Testimonials are getting more and more detailed, this final one actually included the printout from the NSW Local Court at Raymond Terrace stating the matter had been dismissed so it can be verified in an instant – it relates to non-payment of a licence fee, yet another traffic fine the ASF system can help you with.
You guys may recall I sent a message a while ago about being fined for not renewing my licence on time.
I followed your advise and thought I would stall it by writing to SDRO initially and asking for lenience. They didn’t really care, so I elected to take it to court.
I sent in the sheet where you plead guilty or not guilt a few days prior to the plea appearance.
Two days ago I received a letter from the local court in Raymond Terrace, NSW, where the case is or was to be heard.
It showed plea as NO PLEA, so obviously the letter I sent in was either not added at all or not received / opened and dealt with quick enough.
After that it showed case WITHDRAWN / DISMISSED.
So that saved me $422 and time off to attend court. Not sure why this was the case but glad it was and a nice outcome. Maybe they thought it was not worth the courts time to pursue as it was a first offence, as well as stating in writing that I had not received the renewal notice.
cheers guys.
Mat
This last Testimonial makes a vital point that far too many overlook. Way too many people say something along the lines of “Oh, I could never go to court, that’s way too scary” but the reality is that, for a variety of different reasons, just because you fight a fine and ultimately end up electing to have it heard in court does not mean you will actually have to go. We receive feedback all the time from Members who fought a fine, decided to take it to court and it was either dropped before they went to court or was dismissed very quickly on the day – our e-book expands on a number of reasons why this can happen. Furthermore, as you can see from these testimonials alone, in many cases these fines can simply defeated by using one of the 25 form letters that come with our e-book without ever needing to worry about court.
Now, we didn’t include all these testimonials so we could boast about how effective our system is or anything like that – we included them so that you can see that average, everyday people just like you can, and do, fight back against unjust and unlawful fines every day and win!
So, you now know that you have absolutely nothing to fear and everything to gain by using our information to fight back against every unjust and unlawful fine you receive. We couldn’t possibly make up this many Testimonials and, with the detailed information that many of our Members provide, many of them can be easily verified.
The fact is that our information does work – period.
So, if you are not yet a Member then please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html – and join up now and then please, pass our details onto everyone you know so they too can start fighting back against these ridiculous and ineffective fines.
So, you can now be certain that our information really works but why do you really need it?
Please take a few minutes to read over some of the latest media articles which show, in no uncertain terms, that every driver is now at a serious risk of receiving an unjust and unlawful fine – purely for the purposes of raising extra revenue – in the not too distant future.
The following article, referring to speed cameras in QLD, contains statements like "There is not a shred of evidence that they have had any positive impact in reducing fatalities on our roads," and “many police officers believed covert speed cameras were "like poker machines on wheels" which really speak volumes about these deceptive tactics simply aimed at sourcing more revenue from completely innocent drivers. http://www.news.com.au/national/covert-cameras-not-saving-driver-lives/story-e6frfkvr-1225874581910
Please be warned, although not graphic, the following article is entirely offensive to any and every motorists who has been deceived into believing that these so-called “law enforcement entities” were there for our protection and/or that speed cameras have anything to do with road safety – you have been warned! http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/editorials/is-this-the-smoking-gun/story-e6frfhqo-1225871291852
Seriously, we don’t even know where to begin making comments on this article and, if we did, this e-mail would go on for 10 pages. Suffice to say that if someone, with a position as senior as Assistant Chief Commissioner of Police, is prepared to go as far as putting this information in an affidavit then there is a serious issue that is going to affect all motorists, no matter what state you’re in.
Please understand, this article proves that the government is aware that the cameras are faulty – which means that entirely innocent motorists will ultimately receive unjust and unlawful fines – and furthermore, these agencies will only do something about it if enough people complain!
So, how do we make it any clearer – our information works, you need our information because the second top cop in the state of Victoria has admitted, by way of affidavit, that the cameras are faulty and motorists are receiving unjust fines and finally, the government will only do something if you complain.
Please, it is crystal clear, every single motorist in this country needs to get our e-book and use our information to fight (complain against in physical terms) every single fine they receive. That is the best way to put an end to this blatant corruption as well as this clearly ineffective system of so-called “road safety”.
So, obviously you need to become a Member, you need to get our e-book and you need to start fighting back against your unjust and unlawful fines. But, let’s say you’re already a Member and you are currently fighting or about to start – what else can you do?
Firstly, you can go to our on-line petition page- http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and find out even more reasons why all speed cameras should be removed from our roads and you can add your name to our petition, to help further send a message to these agencies that this blatant financial raping of Australian motorists will no longer be tolerated.
Also, we have been contacted by a gentleman by the name of Greg Orfanidis, who has gone to the trouble of actually organizing a rally against these ridiculous revenue raising speed cameras on the Monday of this coming long weekend in Melbourne. He has asked us to pass on the following details so if you are going to be in Melbourne this long weekend then please take some additional action and join in.
The Australian Sovereignty Party Association, in conjunction with AussieSpeedingFines.com, is calling all concerned with liberty and justice to stand with us in opposition to the criminal use of speeding/red-light/safety cameras, more appropriately known as “revenue raising cameras!”
According to section 80 of our constitution which upholds the right of trial by jury, and according to common law, which requires that at least 2 living witnesses are necessary to testify against a defendant in order that guilt may be established, the use of often faulty and entirely unaccountable speeding cameras, which cannot be cross examined in a court of law, to determine guilt of a traffic offence is illegitimate and unlawful.
If you are fed up with a government that is prepared to trample on our highest laws to squeeze the public for more money, if you are concerned that this same big brother camera system is being used to track and trace every motorist, removing our privacy and freedom and if you want to make your voice heard demanding that this fraud will no longer be accepted by the public, then come along and stand with us. Bring your friends and family along and let us send a message to the government.
We will be holding the rally on Monday 14th June (Queen's birthday holiday) to commence at 12pm. The event will be held at Flagstaff Gardens, closest to the corner of Williams St and Latrobe St, Melbourne CDB. We will discuss the unlawful use of cameras to issue speeding tickets and other traffic infringement notices, and educate you on your rights concerning these matters. We will then be marching a short distance down William St. to the headquarters of TENEX (speed camera operator) which is also the same location as the Infringements court (not a court of competent jurisdiction), and demand an end be put to the unlawful use of speeding cameras.
If you have any questions or would like to confirm your attendance at this rally then please e-mail Greg directly at nationalsecretary@sovereigntyparty.org.au or call him on 0432 011 746.
And finally – yes we do appreciate you taking the time to read through this lengthy e-mail – we still have bumper stickers and business cards available, at no charge, for those who want to help us spread the word.
Please note, we spend thousands of dollars each month trying to promote our website in different forms so that people can get our information before they get a fine - which obviously gives them the maximum amount of leverage with our information and therefore, the best chance of defeating an unjust and unlawful fine. But, we can’t do it all, so if anyone can assist us by handing out business cards and/or bumper stickers – or even urging friends, family and co-workers to check out website out for themselves –it would be very much appreciated.
As always, we thank you all for your continued support and please keep those testimonials coming through and, if you haven’t checked it yourself for a while, spend a few moments reading over our constantly updated Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - to see just how many Members are now successfully fighting back with our information.
Enjoy your long weekend and stay safe out there!
May 23, 2010
Police and media admit the ASF info was correct all along!
Wow, it’s been a hell of a week or so since we sent our last e-mail. The police have been very prominent in the news, as have a multitude of problems with speed cameras and even a leaked report confirming that parking inspectors do, in fact, have quotas they are expected to meet. Mind you, none of this is new or earth shattering, but it is nice to see the truth finally being reported and, for the people out there that have tried for so long to discredit us or shut us down, the following reports prove many of the things we have been saying all along.
So, let’s kick start this week’s e-mail with a report from Melbourne about a police officer who is fighting not only for his own rights but for the rights of all motorists who have received ridiculous, unjust and unlawful fines for minor “breaches” of a speed limit, below the tolerance allowed for by the Australian Design Rules.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/motorists-speeding-fines-could-be-overturned-as-cop-takes-on-cameras/story-e6frf7jo-1225866984157
Now, any of you reading this who are current Members will know that our e-book explains, in detail, the importance of Section 109 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) – “Our Constitution”. If you don’t know what it says or understand how it relates to these types of fines then please go and look it up now.
As David Galbally, a very well known Melbourne lawyer stated, in this article - "The failure to take this into account or give it any form of consideration indicates to me that speed cameras are merely a revenue-raising exercise.” Once again, precisely what we have been saying all along.
When a police officer puts his job on the line to take a stand for fines such as this and “has plenty of support within police traffic ranks”, then you know our information is correct and we’re starting to make an impact.
Our second story is from Queensland and is something that motorists from all states should take notice of because it can happen anywhere a new camera is installed - http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/clem7-speeding-fines-withdrawn-20100517-v6yv.html
Unfortunately, the one thing this article fails to mention is that these speed cameras, like all speed cameras, cannot be tested properly because the initial specifications, pursuant to Section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960, against which the cameras must be tested, or calibrated, do not exist. Again, the NMA is Federal legislation and overrides any State legislation to the contrary – if you don’t understand this, please look it up and/or grab a copy of our e-book ASAP.
So, what was the response from the agencies regarding this complete and utter balls up in yet another rapid attempt to raise revenue - http://lnp.org.au/media-centre/media-release/2526-minister-fails-to-explain-rush-for-speed-cash.html - surprise, surprise, there wasn’t one! We understand that there was a follow up story on A Current Affair but haven’t yet located a link to it so, for those of you who are interested, you might like to chase that up as well.
Next, we have an official confirmation from a Sydney Council that proves, once and for all, what we have been saying all along – that Councils do have quotas and force their parking rangers to comply. Please read over the following article for the full details - http://www.news.com.au/national/fine-quotas-are-a-fact-of-life-for-council/story-e6frfkvr-1225868899488
Now, due to privacy issues, we obviously can’t give out any specific details, but we can tell you that a Sydney Parking Ranger actually contacted us about 12 months ago with a number of documents that prove that she was fired from her position as a parking ranger for failing to meet these quotas. This lady was actually one of the “good guys” who stood up and said “No” when her boss told her, in essence to “fine everyone that even could be considered to be illegally parked and let them fight their way out of it.” How’s that for “those that we elected to protect us”?
We challenge anyone to come forward and prove that this practice does not occur in their council area. Now, most of us think of these “grey ghosts” or parking inspectors as the bad guys – and yes, we would definitely, at some level, have to question their choice of occupation – however, now that it can be proven that they are simply “following orders” that is all the more reason to fight every single parking fine you ever receive – to send a message, loud and clear, to these councils that these practices and procedures will no longer be tolerated by the motorists of this country!
And finally, as if all of this wasn’t bad enough, as if the blatant revenue raising wasn’t clear for all to see, how about this story out of Victoria – the number one “police” state in the country – they now want to fine you for leaving your car unlocked or your window down - http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/drivers-face-fines-for-unlocked-cars-20100517-v7db.html
Now, don’t get us wrong, you should definitely be well and truly punished for flicking a cigarette butt out the window – the horrific fires in Victoria last year are testament to that -but seriously, leaving your window down or your door unlocked – come on! Under this so-called “legislation” – which has not been lawfully enacted so don’t worry – you could technically be fined for putting petrol in your car on a Summer’s day in Melbourne – which can easily reach 35 degrees plus – and leaving your window half way down as you walk inside to pay for it!
Seriously, these “traffic fines” are getting completely out of control and these agencies will continue to get away with ridiculous practices – like the ones we have outlined in the e-mail – if people do not start sending a united message and letting these agencies know that “enough is enough”. We elected these people to protect us, to watch over us and to look after us, we did not elect them to fine us for 4 and 5 k’s over limit, to set quotas for parking tickets and “let the motorists try and fight it” or for leaving our window half way down while we pay for petrol and the like.
Here at Aussie Speeding Fines, we do everything we can to help combat this rapidly degenerating and entirely corrupt system but we cannot do it all by ourselves. We are happy to continue spending thousands each month promoting our information and trying to get it into the hands of innocent motorists before they get a fine, we are happy to send out updates every week or so – whether you are a paid Member or not - we are happy to update our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - with new stories of success on a regular basis and we are also happy to provide free updates to all Members on our information for life.
Not only are we happy to do all of this but we have been happily doing it for well over 3 years now and yes, we are definitely making an impact and stories like the first one in this e-mail show that but, stories like the last two show that there’s still a long way to go, so please, we urge you all, if you are not yet a Member, then please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
If you are a Member, then please pass this e-mail, and our details, onto everyone you know who drives in this country because this affects every single motorist in Australia.
Then, once you have done that, please go to our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html – and add your signature to, once again, help us send a united message to the people that we elected to look after us to start actually doing that and stop bleeding us dry.
Finally, for those of you who would truly like to make a difference, we encourage you to take advantage of the free business cards and bumper stickers we have available to those of you who would really like to help us spread the word. If you would like some for yourself or to pass out to friends, family and work colleagues then please just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some straight out to you.
As always, we thank you all for your continued support and please know that, together, we can make a difference and put an end to this corrupt and ineffective system!

Important new information for fighting traffic fines!
Our opening story this week is from Britain where studies have shown that when an entire town turned off all their speed cameras there was absolutely no increase in accidents and a spokesperson for the Council involved actually admitted that “Fixed speed cameras are more about fund-raising than road safety” – something we have been saying all along.
Please read the following story for yourself - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1268392/Town-scrapped-speed-cameras-sees-increase-accidents.html The second last paragraph is also very important because again, the statistics show that there have been no more accidents despite a rise in the number of speeding motorists – once again, confirming what we have said all along, that speed has virtually nothing to do with accidents. For further proof of this, please look over our Vision for the Future page – http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - which provides statistics on the true causes of accidents and outlines the concepts we would like to see brought in to really make our roads safer.
Not only are fixed cameras plain and simply about revenue raising, but, as our on-line petition pages exposes - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - these types of cameras have actually been proven to increase accidents!
Our second story comes from Perth and whilst it directly relates to motorcycle riders, all Members should take note because it just goes to show that these agencies will stop at nothing – including releasing false and misleading information - to raise every extra dollar they can. The following story is headed to 2 graphic images of someone who is clearly an idiot as justification for their new cameras - http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/new-speed-cameras-to-target-motorbike-riders/story-e6frg14l-1225855107605
Obviously, this person represents an extremely small percentage of the population and will likely just cover his rear number plate if he intended on doing something so stupid again – rendering these new cameras completely useless for the purpose that they purport they were intended and instead, subjecting many more innocent motorists to yet another series of inaccurate cameras that do not comply with Commonwealth legislation.
There a couple of other very important points in this article that all Members should note. Firstly, the caption under the photograph, which is their justification for installing these new cameras, makes no sense. They suggest these latest cameras are “the new weapon in the fight to reduce the road toll” yet they refer to the photo of a single motorcycle rider who is only going to kill himself – if he continues to do stupid things like that then no further comment is needed from us in that regard. Also, as we mentioned above, these cameras are almost certainly not going to stop people like that so there is absolutely no proof or justification for that sentence. A camera has never been shown to have prevented a single accident or reduce any road toll at all.
Secondly, the opening sentence is very important – “with police today launching their new weapon against ‘speeding’ and ‘dangerous driving’.” By making the distinction between “Speeding” and “Dangerous Driving” they are confirming what we said earlier – as well as what we have said all along – that, in many cases, “speeding” (as in exceeding some arbitrary limit) is not actually dangerous.
Now, front and rear cameras have actually been in place in many states for many years so this is really nothing new but it is vital to take note of the blatant lie that Police and Road Safety Minister Rob Johnson is peddling when he suggests that these new cameras will be able to recognise up to 4 vehicles per frame and identify which is speeding. This is not what happens at all – one vehicle sets off the camera and all vehicles in a particular photo are sent a fine. This has been verified by sources inside these agencies and we challenge Mr Johnson or the reporter concerned to prove this does not happen.
Mr Johnson’s comment that “Speeding fines are a voluntary tax” is also very telling – at least he’s half right – they are just a tax on motorists, however, it is the agencies that are volunteering the motorists to pay this tax and not the motorists themselves. After all, if these cameras were all so accurate, how is it that there have been so many stories in the media over the years of cameras that have been proven to be incorrect - cameras have been switched off for years – because they were proven to give false readings – and the Victorian government even had to pay millions of dollars in compensation for fines issued from certain cameras because they were so fundamentally flawed.
Completely innocent motorists are being booked, and therefore, unjustly “taxed” every day because of these inaccurate and unlawful cameras – it’s time to put a stop to them across the country – just like they did in our opening story.
Speaking of speed cameras, we have had a number of Members e-mail us over the past few weeks with a very old e-mail entitled “New super speed cameras in Melbourne”. Now, firstly, these cameras are not that new any more, they have been around for quite some time and, we actually answered this e-mail in one of our e-mail updates about 9 months or so ago, when we first received it. You can check all previous e-mail updates, in case you missed them, via our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html Please just be aware that fines from these cameras, like all speed camera fines, can be effectively defeated using the information in our e-book – specifically the flawed MD5 algorithm argument.
So, if you get that e-mail about the new “super cameras” don’t bother sending it on, instead, pass this e-mail, or at least our details, onto whoever sends it through to you.
And, speaking of e-mails, we have had a number of e-mails from Members this past week or so asking questions about police recordings and videos and if they can use them against you in court. Now, there are a couple of points to note on this topic. Firstly, the police are supposed to inform you that they are recording you but they almost never do so it is important to ask when you are pulled over if they are, in fact, recording the conversation.
If you are a current Member and have read our e-book then you will know that it is important to state right from the outset and re-iterate as many times as practical during the time that you are pulled over that you were NOT speeding. Now, if you have confirmed that they are recording you and you state a number of times that you were not speeding then having the police introduce any recording in court is actually going to work in your favour. However, if you have not followed the steps in the e-book and you are concerned about a recording being introduced as evidence, you can have any recording dismissed from evidence in the same was as a photo from a speed camera, by using the flawed MD5 algorithm argument – in that they can’t prove that it COULD not have been altered or tampered with.
If you are not yet a Member and do not understand the importance of the MD5 algorithm argument then please go to our Membership’s page – http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - straight away and join up and get a copy of our e-book.
And finally, we have had some really great new Testimonials come through in the past few weeks and we will be loading them onto our Testimonials page shortly. There are 3 new e-mails from Members who have successfully beaten unjust and unlawful parking fines using our system and another Member who avoided $400 worth of unjust and unlawful CityLink tolls. So, give us a little time to get these new Testimonials up and then spend a few minutes reading over them for yourself via the following link - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
As always, we appreciate your continued support and feedback and we will keep doing our bit to keep you all informed and updated on the latest strategies for defeating all types of unjust and unlawful fines.
Please remember that we still have business cards and bumper stickers available for anyone who would like to help us spread the word – these are completely free of charge, all you need to do is e-mail us your address and we will post some out to you.

More crazy stories of blatant revenue raising!
Well, we’ve pretty much heard it all this past fortnight – firstly, a guy who was booked for drink driving despite being asleep in his car on the side of the road – and no, the keys weren’t even in the ignition - because he was trying to do the right thing and not drive home over the limit.
Then there was the story of the lady who was booked for going through a red light, despite her being in the middle of the intersection since the light was green, waiting to turn.
And recently, we had a Member whose company was charged with speeding. Yes, you read that correctly, it was his Pty Ltd company – a legal entity that has no physicality and can’t possibly “drive” a car at all – not him personally, that was charged with speeding. Needless to say, when it got to court it was quickly adjourned to try and resolve the matter since that charge cannot possibly be proven.
Yes folks, they are getting more and more desperate by the day. On top of the crazy stories we mentioned above, we have also had a number of media articles sent to us which further illustrate how desperate they are getting.
The first article is about Queensland motorists that are being forced to pay fines that they absolutely do not need to, simply because so many motorists are still not armed with our information before they get a fine - http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/7058382/record-fine-tally-as-qld-clamps-down/
It is incredible how the author of this article harps on about how much extra revenue they have now collected but yet they fail to show one shred of evidence that the road toll has reduced one iota as a result of this blatant revenue raising! Not only that, but they flaunt how proud they are that they can now clamp people’s cars and take similar action for fines that have nothing to do with traffic related offences – if only people understood the ramification of the Imperial Acts Application Act “That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction, are illegal and void.” – this is explained in detail in our e-book. These agencies have absolutely no lawful right to take the kind of action they are and, until people start informing themselves of their rights and standing up for them, these agencies will continue getting away with these unlawful activities.
So, if you didn’t know this or if you know someone who doesn’t fully understand their rights then please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up, and urge everyone you know to do the same so that you are fully informed and know exactly how to fight every unjust and unlawful fine and ensure that no-one is subjected to these unlawful tactics again.
Next, we have the article entitled “One More Blitz for the Road” - http://www.monashjournal.com.au/news/local/news/general/one-more-blitz-for-the-road/1806493.aspx - no second guesses what this one’s all about.
The holidays are over so they took one last shot at booking as many drivers and raising as much revenue as they could. Again, what many people don’t realise is that your car cannot be un-registered, if it was, how would they know who to write the ticket to. Your car is always registered, at best, they can only charging you with failing to pay a fee which is clearly a civil matter and has nothing to do with road safety or the road rules.
Speaking of that fee, Acting Sergeant Auchterlonie’s statement that "People need to realise that by not paying their registration they are not covered by any [Transport Accident Commission] insurance and insurance companies won't cover them for any motor vehicle accidents." is very interesting.
We would encourage you all to contact the TAC and ask for a copy of the “insurance policy” – after all, if it really is insurance then surely there must be a policy that outlines terms and conditions, liabilities etc. As you will quickly establish, this is not a policy at all, simply another “fee”. One of our Members has actually taken this further and established that, as long as you have a licence then you are covered in the event of an accident and your claim has nothing to do with this TAC “fee” at all.
Again, these are just some of the things that people don’t realise if they don’t ask the right questions. Remember, our e-book isn’t just about defeating unjust and unlawful fines, it is about informing you as to what is really going on out there, it is about educating you as to the right questions to ask and it is there to empower you to stand up for your rights – not just on the road but in all areas of life. Please refer back to our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html – specifically, our March 7, 2010 update about a lady who used our information to defeat two ridiculous “un-registered dogs” fines.
The whole “system” is out of control and is about nothing more than revenue raising. The title of the following article says it all - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1266620/Proof-speed-cameras-exist-rake-money-receipts-finally-fall.html - and the quote near the end of the article by Jennifer Dunn - 'Motorists have paid a fortune in speeding fines over the last decade and there is no real sign that the system has succeeded in changing people's behaviour. It is clear that speeding fines are more about raking in cash than making the roads safer, and as a result they have given the law a bad name.' – is the icing on the cake.
All these speed cameras have succeeded in doing is disconnecting the motoring public from the police and reducing our faith in the government policies that are supposed to be in place to protect us. In fact, the scary truth is that speed cameras have actually been proven to cause more accidents than they save. Please view our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - for further information about this and we urge you all to add your signature.
One final article that we would urge to read over is the following one from the US - http://www.rense.com/general90/rav.htm - and whilst it may be from overseas, have a look at how many similarities there are to our current system. Speed limits being dropped in areas and people being booked straight away, people who have never received tickets in their lives getting multiple tickets in a short period of time and insurance companies charging more for premiums for people who have lost demerit points. It is all going on here, today, in exactly the same way.
The reality is that the current corrupt system is simply not working, our roads are not safer, motorists no longer believe in the so-called “road safety” programs that are in place and yet we are currently being fleeced to the tune of one billion dollars a year for absolutely no benefit. Please, take a few moments to read over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - to see what we are really trying to achieve by our website and our e-book, and then, if you believe in that vision too, please pass this e-mail, and our details, onto every motorist you know.
For those of you who really want to help us spread the word, we still have our business cards and bumper stickers available, free of charge, so just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some out for you.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and we thank you all for continuing to send us relevant media articles as well as your stories of success with our system.

Easter promotion – 25% off – only 1 day to go!
Firstly, we would like to apologise to anyone who tried accessing our website on Good Friday and couldn’t. Now, we knew these agencies are going to great lengths to try and shut us down but to hack into our website on the first day of a four day holiday in attempt to stop us from helping innocent motorists who being unjustly fined is just too much.
One of these agencies has gone to great lengths to try and disable our site by attempting to download a virus to anyone who tried to view any of our pages. Unfortunately for them, and fortunately for all our Members, the Aussie Speeding Fines site is not run by a single person, as some seem to believe, but is instead staffed almost 24/7 by a group of dedicated people who will do whatever it takes to inform and educate the motorists of this country about the truth about unjust and unlawful traffic fines.
If you would like to find out more about what we stand for and what we are ultimately trying to achieve, please take a few moments to read over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
As part of our dedication to help get our licence saving information out to as many people as possible, we are continuing our 25% off Easter promotion until midnight on Tuesday (the 6th of April 2010) so, if you’re not yet a Member, please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
In case you’re not sure why you might need our e-book, we have received an e-mail from a number of Members this weekend that, in short, details a guy who got a parking ticket whilst rummaging around in his boot for change to actually buy a ticket after just pulling into a parking spot – yes, they are that desperate and it’s only a matter of time before you, or someone you know will become the next victim of this ridiculous and ineffective system.
On a final note, we have received a number of e-mails over the past few months from Members who have specifically noted incorrectly set up speed cameras. A number of them have even gone to the trouble of taking photos which clearly show how these devices have been set up incorrectly and/or contrary to the set-up manuals.
We are now looking at a way of incorporating this information into our website so that anyone who notices an incorrectly set up camera can take photos and provide us details of the location and time that the camera was set up and then Members can access a page that has all this information and then use it, in addition to all of the information in our e-book, to help fight their unjust and unlawfully issued fines.
So, while we are working on setting this up, we would urge you all to keep an eye out and take down as much information as you can about any cameras you see set up – they are almost always set up incorrectly for one reason or another – and then send this information onto us and we will do our best to get this new page up and running in the not too distant future.
In the meantime, one of our key Members noted a camera that was incorrectly set up on Springfield Road between Mitcham and Springvale Roads on Friday the 26th of March. So, if you, or anyone you know, received a fine from this camera then e-mail us and we will pass on the relevant details for you.
Again, we remind you that the 25% off Easter promotion is on until midnight this Tuesday (6th of April, 2010). So please, if you’re not yet a Member, then join up now and enter the word “Easter” into the coupon box on the Order Details page to receive your 25% discount. Then, once you join – or, if you’re already a Member – please be sure to pass this e-mail onto everyone you know who drives in this country.
Remember too that we still have our business cards and bumper stickers available, free of charge, to anyone who wants to help us spread the word.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and we will continue to do everything in our power to fight the current corrupt system that is being forced upon us all.
Please enjoy the rest of your Easter break and take care out there!

Easter promotion – 25% off all ASF Memberships – 1 week only!
Okay, seriously – enough is enough!
How much longer are the motorists of this country going to continue allowing - yes, that’s right, “allowing”, as a result of their failure to do anything about it – the government agencies in this country to keep shoving this deceitful, un-substantiated and ridiculous notion that “speed kills”, down our throats, simply to justify their on-going revenue raising program under the false guise of “road safety”?
We received the following information from one of our Members and we believe that it is something that every motorist needs to know:
We're told that Easter is a more dangerous time of year to be on the roads, would you be surprised to hear then that the stats show that, in fact, Easter is a Safer time of year to be on the roads !
Road Safety - The Facts
Three important facts every road user needs to know about the "speed kills" road safety policy.
1) Speed cameras are doing more harm than good because they are not being used for their intended purpose. Speed cameras were designed to be highly visible and situated at black spots in order to slow traffic, not hidden to raise revenue. Motorists have now changed focus from safety to avoiding the camera.
2) Not even 2% (two percent) of road fatalities are caused through travel above set speed limits. The vast majority of fatalities therefore occur below set speed limits yet there is no road safety initiative on below the limit speeding.
3) Studies used to justify the use of speed cameras have road crash data from ABOVE the speed limit removed.
The current speed kills policy has failed - more of the same is not working.
FACT 1 - Speed cameras are doing more harm than good. The road toll should be lower.
The following two tables show the number of people killed on Australian roads over two eight year periods - 1989 to 1996 and 1997 to 2004. Data source: Australian Transport Safety Bureau ATSB
Continued at: http://www.roadsense.com.au/factsandfigures.html
In our last e-mail update, we shared with you a report that showed that, as a percentage, it was actually the police themselves – the very people en-forcing this ridiculous revenue raising scam on us – that actually have more far more accidents than the rest of us. In case you missed it – or any other e-mail updates – please go to our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html – for further information.
On a separate note, the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, which was held in Melbourne over this past weekend, created a lot of controversy. Firstly, there was the ridiculous “stunt” the police pulled by impounding Lewis Hamilton’s car simply because he “lost traction” for a second as he was pulling out of the racetrack.
Now seriously, who on earth is harmed or disadvantaged in any way what-so-ever, if the former World Champion Formula 1 driver spins his wheels for a second? The Police tried justifying their ridiculous actions by saying things to the effect that “It shows that no-one is above the law and, if you do the “wrong” thing you will be caught.” All it really shows is how utterly blinded they are by their own system and how pathetic we, the motorists of Australia, appear to the rest of the world for allowing this to continue.
In fact, Mark Webber, another Formula 1 great, summed it up perfectly when he described Australia as a “nanny state”. Remember, this guy knows how to drive safely in all conditions and is one of the best drivers in the world. You can read the full story, and what Mark really thinks, here - http://www.theage.com.au/sport/australian-grand-prix/mark-webber-takes-swipe-at-australian-nanny-state-20100328-r4qj.html
As Mark correctly states, we have to be taught to take responsibility for our actions rather than have Big Brother force rules upon us. This, of course, is what we have been saying all along on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Finally, we received the following report - http://www.theage.com.au/national/victorian-toll-worst-in-five-years-20100328-r4uo.html - which shows that, despite all the new cameras being installed, despite Formula 1 champions having their cars impounded – none of which have anything to do with the road safety at all – the road toll is still actually increasing.
Again, this has been something that we have been saying all long on our Petition to Remove Cameras page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html The fact is that speed cameras actually increase crashes so, once you understand this, we would urge you all to log into our on-line petition page and add your signature.
So, as we said above, enough is enough! It is time for the motorists of this country to step up and start fighting back against this corrupt and ineffective system and the only way to do that is by sending a united message to these agencies that this revenue raising will no longer be tolerated. The way to clearly demonstrate that is by never paying an unjust and unlawful again.
Here, at Aussie Speeding Fines, we are committed to doing everything we can to show people, step-by-step, how they can do exactly that, by being armed with the information in our e-book.
So, since the Police are going to be out in force this Easter – raise as much money as possible - we are going to do our bit and we are going to reduce the cost of our Membership by a full 25%. Now, this promotion will run for one week only and it will not be extended under any circumstances so it’s important that you go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up before midnight on Tuesday evening (the 6th of April 2010) because, after that, we will have to re-instate the normal prices. Please note that this discount applies to full Memberships only and not upgrades etc.
Remember, even at the full price, becoming a Member and getting a copy of our e-book will be the best motoring investment you ever make – in fact, we guarantee it – so, at 25% off, it’s an opportunity that you simply must take advantage of.
We urge you, do not leave it until after you receive a fine, at 25% off, you have no excuses. Get our e-book now, so that you are armed with our information before you get a fine and this will give you your absolute best chance of defeating any fines you may get this Easter, and in the future.
So please, if you’re not yet a Member, then join up now and enter the word “Easter” into the coupon box on the Order Details page to receive your 25% discount. Then, once you join – or, if you’re already a Member – please be sure to pass this e-mail onto everyone you know who drives in this country. Believe us, they will appreciate this information a thousand times more than a chocolate egg!
Remember too that we still have our business cards and bumper stickers available, free of charge, to anyone who wants to help us spread the word.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and we will continue to provide you with the most up-to-date information, at absolutely no cost, on how to effectively defeat these continuing unjust and unlawful fines.
Please, take care out there this Easter!

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH - throws all fixed speed camera fines into doubt!
We’re gonna jump straight into it this week, there has just been a major story that throws every fine from a fixed speed camera into doubt. Please have a look at the following story from A Current Affair immediately - http://video.au.msn.com/watch/video/speed-camera-alert/xbjx8mz
Now, the reason that this story is so powerful is because, when you combine it with the rest of the information in our e-book, it stops any prosecutor in their tracks. Remember, the question to ask – no matter what state you live in – is, “Can you prove to the court that this fine could not have been generated by a camera affected in a way similar to what was exposed on A Current Affair recently?”
As a result of this story, there is now no way of proving if a particular camera has been “hacked into” or not. Therefore, if they cannot prove the particular camera that allegedly detected you could not have been tampered with then the evidence must be rejected and subsequently, you have no case to answer to.
In fact, we would suggest that all Members might like to start incorporating the question above into our 3 step process – specifically, you could add it into the Notice of Objection or the Speed Camera Reply letters.
For those of you who are simply Subscribers to our free report and are not yet Members and don’t fully understand and appreciate the full impact of all of this, please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now so you can find out exactly how to use this breaking news to your advantage to defeat all unjust speed camera fines.
In fact, we will be doing a Member’s Only specific update how specifically, word-for-word, to incorporate this into our existing strategies for maximum effect. So, if you’re a Member, keep an eye out for this special update over the coming weekend and, if you’re not yet a Member, then we urge you to join ASAP to get the maximum benefit from this latest breakthrough.
Now, whilst you’re on that A Current Affair page, take a look at one of the relate videos entitled “Speed camera trick” - http://video.au.msn.com/watch/video/speed-camera-trick/xx0hsp9
Again, this is something that we have been explaining to our Members for quite some time now and again, all you need do is ask the Prosecution to prove to the court that another vehicle was not also issued with an identical fine at an identical time. If they were, then they cannot prove that it was your vehicle that was speeding but, in 99% of cases, they will not be able to verify that another car was not sent the same fine.
Please note that the Prosecutor would need to testify under oath that 2 separate cars were not sent the same fine and most would not be prepared to do that because they know that this actually happens all the time!
In fact, when you take a little time to look into things, you actually find that it is those who are booking us for “our own safety” that are the biggest problem on our roads by far!
The story below shows that more than half Victorian cops are being let off traffic fines yet they are crashing more than half of their cars! Not only that, but the police are actually at fault in 20% of the accidents to boot. - http://bigpondnews.com/articles/TopStories/2010/03/16/No_fines_issued_for_Vic_cops_440468.html
Talk about double standards, the article suggests that the police have the same rights as other motorists to ask to be let off with a warning. Well, unless you are an ASF Member, you probably didn’t even know that you could ask to be let off a fine and, even if you did, you probably had no idea how to do so. This, of course, is because the so-called “authorities” don’t want you to know this valuable, licence saving information. Instead, they want to save that for the people who crash over 50% of the vehicles – the police themselves.
Now, of course, some will argue that the police spend a lot of time driving (or driving in adverse conditions and across all types of terrain – as per the article) – but hey, so do sales reps, couriers, truck drivers etc. but they don’t crash half their cars - or that the police have to rush off to emergencies. Yet, there is no data to suggest that all of the accidents are happening in emergency situations at all, in fact, they are saying that “covert surveillance” is the biggest issue. Once again, double standards, complete lack of accountability and no reduction in accidents, all in the name of good old revenue raising!
So, if you are as outraged and disgusted by these stories as we are then please, don’t just sit there, do something about it. Firstly, while you’re on your computer, click the following link - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and add your name to our on-line petition to have all these ridiculous speed cameras removed. After all, if people can now hack into these cameras at any time and change all the settings, what possible hope do the motorists of Australia have to think that they can ever be relied upon again?
Then, simply forward this e-mail onto to everyone in your contacts list. Seriously, who doesn’t drive a car nowadays? Almost everyone does. And, as this breaking news shows, these speed cameras can now be so easily tampered with that the likelihood of you, or someone you know, receiving an incorrect, unjust and unlawful fine has just gone through the roof.
Finally, e-mail us back with your postal address and we will send you some business card and/or bumper stickers – just let us know what you’re after – so you can help spread the word. Unfortunately, the whole “system” is now way out of control and, as the Current Affair reported correctly asked – If this is potentially such a massive public interest issue, why hasn’t anyone, such as the Department of Justice, or the company involved, done any kind of press release? The answer, of course, is that it would throw the whole “system” into chaos and there would be a massive public outcry over these ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising devices – which is exactly what we need!
Please remember, this story has so far only been exposed in Victoria but there is nothing to suggest that it couldn’t happen, or isn’t already happening, in other states. Again, the onus is on the Police to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, their claim against you so make sure you use this new information, no matter what state you’re in, to your advantage.
As always, we thank you all for your continued support – please keep those testimonials coming in and, if you haven’t checked back in a while, please have a look over our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - and see the raft of new ones we have added in recent weeks.

Overwhelming Proof that the ASF system really WORKS!
Well, it’s only barely been a week since we sent out our last e-mail update and we have been totally inundated with amazing new stories of success from our Members.
A number of people have reported back saying that parking fines have been dropped as soon as they elected to have the matters heard in court. Others have beaten parking fines and speeding fines in court with very little effort and we even had a Member who adapted the ASF system to defeat two ridiculous “un-registered dogs” fines! So, be in no doubt that our system works exactly as we say it does!
We have added all of these new testimonials to our website so please take a few moments to read over them and see the sort of successes our Members have been experiencing. You can read our Testimonials page here - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
We have also been fortunate to receive feedback from other Members who have provided us copies of, or at least portions of, the speed detection training manuals in NSW and QLD. These manuals are very relevant because, once again, they confirm exactly what we have been saying all along about the fact that these devices are not supposed to be used on downhill gradients, near bends in the road or within a certain distance of change of speed signs. The NSW manual also clearly states that these devices should not be used in roadwork areas and the QLD manual clearly mentions the National Measurement Act 1960 and the relevance of this Act to these devices.
Now, if you don’t understand the relevance of the National Measurement Act and how you can use it to defeat ALL unjust and unlawful speeding fines, then please become a Member and grab a copy of our e-book now - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - as everything you need to know is explained, in detail and in simple step-by-step strategies.
We have also been sent a very interesting article that verifies everything we have been saying for the past two and a half years, that speeding has all but nothing to do with accidents and what is important is giving motorists the ability to take responsibility for their driving rather than forcing artificially reduced speed limits on them. Please read the following article from the Sydney Morning Herald and note the comments from the VP of safety developments at Mercedes Benz - http://smh.drive.com.au/fast-drivers-and-a-falling-road-toll-germans-show-how-20100304-plsi.html
Please keep in mind that that Mercedes Benz are probably some of the safest cars in the world so this guy knows what he’s talking about. Also, compare his comments to what we have had on our Vision for the Future page for many years now - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Now, in case you missed last week’s e-mail update – all past updates can be viewed on our News/Updates page at any time at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html - we would invite you to look over the following page which shows that the success of John King, who took on Victoria Police and won and then had the Sheriff seize goods from them due to their failure to pay his costs – has now made it to an international website - http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/30/3057.asp You should also check out some of the related links on the left hand side which shows that people are successfully revolting against speed cameras the world over – which is exactly what Australian motorists need to do as well.
Whilst we never condone the actions noted at the bottom of that article – such as attempting to vandalise a camera - we would definitely welcome you to sign our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and send a clear and united message to the government of this country that we have had enough of these unlawful and ineffective revenue raising devices.
For those of you who are as passionate as we are about putting an end to this corrupt system, we would also welcome you to join our affiliate program - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Affiliates.html - where you can help spread the word and get rewarded for your efforts. Otherwise, or in addition to, if you are happy to help us out, we have just had a new batch of business cards and bumper stickers made and we are happy to send some out to you, free of charge, if you simply e-mail us with your postal address.
Thanks again to all of you your continued support and please keep those testimonials coming in so that newcomers to our website are in no doubt as to the effectiveness of our information and strategies.

Important licence saving information concerning speed detection devices.
First up this week, we are continuing with reports from the on-going battle between South Australian Independent MP, Dr Bob Such. In case you missed it, please check our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html
Dr Such has asked what any reasonable person in his position would – to have the device that allegedly detected him speeding independently tested. Now, you would think that the Police would be eager to verify their claims that these devices are accurate and put an end to all the speculation that they are not and allow Dr Such and his legal team to do this testing. The story below shows that this is clearly not the case and, worse still, their excuse for not doing so is an absolute crock! Check it out for yourself at the following link - http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/police-stop-mp-from-testing-speed-guns/story-e6frea83-1225828922774
Now please, what on earth does a manufacturers “marketing rights” have to do with someone’s common law right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty? Surely someone’s right to free travel– as per Section 92 of our Commonwealth Constitution – must take precedence over some corporation’s “marketing rights”! Besides, how exactly would their “marketing rights” be affected just because the devices were tested – unless, of course, it was proven that they were inherently inaccurate!
Yes, we know exactly why they won’t let this happen – for the very same reasons as the Victoria Police dropped the high profile case against Sam Newman this week – because they know they are booking innocent motorists simply to raise revenue.
You can read the full story here - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/sam-newman-gets-speeding-charge-thrown-out-at-melbourne-magistrates-court/story-e6frf7jo-1225833406988 The police know all too well that when a high profile case like this is proven then it sets a precedent for everyone to rely on and they did not want that to happen so they simply “didn’t turn up to court” so that it wasn’t officially recorded as the victory that it clearly was.
Now, what Sam should have done is what John King did and get a court order for costs against the police for wasting his time. All too often these agencies try and threaten motorists with case history of huge legal bills for people who have fought fines and lost but what people don’t realize is that when they are armed with the Aussie Speeding Fines information they will almost certainly win and then, they can claim costs against the agency that insisted on taking them to court.
Check out the following story about John King who got a court order against the police and then, we they didn’t pay up, he got the Sheriff to go around and seize their property. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/speed-camera-crusader-john-king-granted-sherriffs-warrant-to-seize-police-property-wants-simon-overlands-desk/story-e6frf7kx-1225831731568 Now, how’s that for turning the tables!
This story is extremely relevant right now because we have been hearing feedback from a number of Members across Australia that the various agencies are now going to extraordinary lengths to try and claw back some of the hundreds of millions of dollars they are losing in revenue because so many people are now successfully using our system to fight back.
In WA, there was a report that unpaid fines have now soared to $241 million – http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/6797660/unpaid-fines-grow-to-241m/ Also, there is a suggestion that instead of suspending licences for unpaid fines – which has been proven not to work because any such licence suspension is null and void - (please see our e-book for full details on why this is so) – they are now going to resort to clamping people’s cars and even traveling to their homes to do so. Now, in case this worries you in any way, fear not as we have had a number of Members who have been in this situation and they have actually cut the clamps off with an angle grinder and sent the Sheriff’s Office a bill for storage of their clamps! People don’t realise that once these clamps are fitted to their car they become a fixture of the vehicle and therefore they are now the property of the owner of the car.
What’s more, all our informed and educated Members know that all these fines, suspensions, wheel clampings etc. are completely unlawful and un-enforceable because legislation that goes back to the Bill of Rights clearly states that “That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction, are illegal and void.” More often than not, these fines and subsequent court orders are made in courts that have no lawful power to do so. If you’re note yet a Member and don’t fully understand all of this then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
Furthermore, in Victoria, they are actually running radio ads from the Sheriff’s Office offering an amnesty on fines and they’re saying that if you pay your old fines by a certain date then they will waive all the additional fess – which were illegal in the first place! But seriously, how desperate must they be to actually run radio ads for this kind of thing? It just shows you beyond any shadow of a doubt that people have had enough and are now successfully fighting back against these ridiculous, unjust and ineffective fines.
Should you have any doubt as to how truly effective the information in our e-book is and how simple it can be to defeat any and every unjust and unlawful traffic fine, then please spend a few moments reading over our extensive Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
We are about to add another few Testimonials to this page and we are still trying to resurrect some of the old ones that were deleted when our server was hacked a few months ago. So, if you have previously sent in a Testimonial and notice that it’s not up on our website, please help us out and send it through again. Obviously, we would also welcome any new Testimonials from Members who have successfully fought back with our system as well.
On a separate note, we have been getting the same e-mail from many Members over the last month referring to all the new speed and red-light cameras that are being installed in Queensland. It is important to note that these cameras have been in use for many years all over the rest of the country already and have also proven to be inaccurate and fines from these cameras have been successfully defeated by many Members – and yes, even including the time over distance cameras as well.
One of the keys to this is in the Transport and Main Roads “fact sheet” that usually accompanies this e-mail. It clearly explains how the new cameras are all digital and therefore, none of these photos can be used against you in court if you use the flawed MD5 algorithm argument – again, if you don’t understand what this is, get a copy of our e-book now so that you do. Also, who is the Informant in the matter? The camera. Tell them that you want to cross examine the Informant on the stand – they obviously can’t do that.
Now, the biggest problem with the document that usually accompanies this e-mail is the blatant lie that all cameras will be tested and certified to be accurate – they are not and they can never be! The many previous e-mails we have sent out from Dr Brittain explain this further and a full explanation, as well as a copy of the relevant sections of the national measurement Act 1960 are all contained in our e-book. Anyone know any lawyer that wants to start a class action suit against them for false and misleading advertising?
So please, next time you get this e-mail about new cameras being installed, do not pass it on. Instead, send back a link to our website, specifically our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - that shows that not only are these cameras not being installed because for road safety purposes but they actually increase crashes!
We have also received e-mails with the following link - http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/red-alert-lights-camera-takes-your-licence-in-one-go-20100220-ompu.html - regarding similar cameras being set up in NSW. Again, these cameras have been proven time and again to be inaccurate and the simple fact is that fines issued by these cameras are very simple to defeat if you have the correct information.
As the reports from earlier in this e-mail show, many people are now fighting back and these agencies are losing hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal revenue. That is a great start but it’s still not enough. To finally put an end to this corrupt and ineffective system we need to see every motorist fighting every fine they receive. So please, help spread the word by passing this e-mail onto to everyone in your contacts list.
Also, we still have business cards and bumper stickers available to anyone who would like to help us really spread the word and remember, there is no charge for any of these so just send us an e-mail with your postal address and we will send some out to you.
As always, we really do appreciate your continued support and we will continue doing our very best to support you all in return. We would take this opportunity to remind you that we get literally hundreds of e-mails every day and this number is increased directly after these mailouts so please be patient with us when awaiting a reply.

Some VERY interesting developments!
Firstly, we would like to thank you all for your support and patience with us during our recent website and e-mail server issues. When you read some of the points below you will understand what a huge impact our Members are now making on “the system” and why these agencies resorted to the underhanded tactics that they did and hacked our website.
Anyway, with the help of our very dedicated web guys, we now have a whole new server as well as an updated version of our website software package, which should hopefully ensure things run smoothly for a long time to come. Many of you will have no doubt noticed the slightly updated format of the website, including the new “articles” section which appears at both the side and bottom of our Home page. We would urge you all to keep sending through these media articles and reports and we will do our best to keep on top of them all and update them as regularly as possible.
Speaking of articles, we have a number of very exciting things to share with you this week, not least of which are the following reports of South Australian Independent MP Bob Such’s fight against inaccurate speed detection devices. Take a few moments to read over the articles below and congratulate this man for finally doing what the people in these positions were actually voted in to do!
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/in-depth/independent-mp-bob-such-fights-accuracy-of-laser-guns/story-fn2sdwup-1225825485819
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/bob-such-wants-faulty-laser-guns-tested/story-e6frea6u-1225826002468
We find it incredulous that the police would blatantly lie, in court, when up against a Parliamentary Member. The Prosecutor’s statement that these devices are incapable of giving a false readings is an outright lie that all our Members would be well aware of because the Police training manuals outline the numerous ways in which the devices can give false readings. In fact, the following video shows exactly how this happens - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XinL5Dv_i3w
Accordingly, we have contacted Dr Such and given him our full support and we would encourage you all to get behind him and to also request your own local MP’s to join in take a similar stand.
We have also recently heard a number of reports from Members that have successfully used the flawed MD5 algorithm argument, or a version of it, to successfully defeat fines in QLD, NSW and SA. Remember, the key to winning this argument is to ask the Prosecutor to provide expert testimony to the effect that the photo from the camera “could” not have been altered or tampered with. If they can’t do that then they can’t rely on the photo as evidence.
Now, we reported on the SA case a few months back – which confirms that the police can no longer rely on a photo alone as evidence of speeding - and you can read all our past e-mail updates by clicking on our News/Updates link - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html Please note that we are still working on uploading the last few month’s updates, since our server was last compromised, but we hope to get them up shortly.
We are also still in the process of retrieving our old testimonials so you will see a number of exciting additions to our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - over the next week or so. Again, if anyone has any feedback for us, please feel free to send it through and we will gladly put it up.
Speaking of feedback, we have received a number of e-mails over the past few weeks purporting to be from someone on the “inside” at the QLD department of Transport with “foolproof” information on how to pay a fine and avoid demerit points. Now, this e-mail raises its head every 6 months or so in one form or another – usually when the States are desperate for some additional revenue. The e-mail reveals that the “secret” is to send a cheque and overpay your fine by a few dollars and you will receive a refund cheque for the overpayment and, if you never cash the cheque, you won’t have the points applied to your licence. We have detailed this strategy in our e-book so it’s obvious that people who are forwarding on these e-mails are not our Members. Now, this strategy used to work, a very long time ago. This loophole has now been closed in every state and does not work anymore.
So please, if you receive an e-mail like this then do not forward it on, instead, delete it and pass this e-mail on instead. As you can see, it is a great way to trick people into paying their fines and then they cop the demerit points anyway. Hopefully, you can also see how valuable our e-book, and the information contained in it, really is. There are idiots out there trying to suggest that our information doesn’t work or that you could get into more trouble by using it, when clearly, as you can easily see by this example, our information is the truth and you could actually get into a lot more trouble if you don’t have it. So, if you’re not yet a Member then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now. Then, once you have joined, be sure to pass our details onto everyone you know so that they don’t end up falling for a similar scam and blindly paying a fine that they simply do not have to.
And please keep in mind, our information is the most comprehensive collection of information of its kind available anywhere today. We have police, lawyers, Judges and politicians as Members because they all want to know the truth. Remember, if you don’t believe our e-book delivers everything we promise, and more, then simply let us know and we will give you a full refund – we can’t be any fairer than that!
Finally, as you can see from this e-mail, things are really starting to heat up now. We have some big people getting involved and fighting back against this deceitful and corrupt system and we are really starting to achieve some great results. The offices of Civic Compliance, SDRO and the like are miles behind because of all the additional paperwork they receive and the courts are forever backlogged. As you know, the hardest thing in life is to get started, once the ball is rolling, it is much easier to jump on board and join the momentum.
So, if you would like to help us keep up the great momentum that we have now finally started then please go to our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and add your signature. Once you have done that, then please pass this e-mail around to as many people as you can. And, if you really want to help make a difference then e-mail us your postal address and we will send you out some business cards and/or bumper stickers to pass around as well.
As always, we really do appreciate your continued support. We will continue doing our very best to support you all in return. We hope to have all the website pages back up and running properly by the end of next week and we will work on adding articles as soon as we can as well.

Our most comprehensive Testimonial yet - a must read!
Well, we have had a busy week trying to restore all our Testimonials. We have a lot of them back up again but we are still trying the get the remaining ones back up which show beyond any shadow of a doubt that, no matter what state you live in and no matter what unjust and unlawful traffic fine you have received, if you follow our system then you can and will win!
In in the midst of all of this, we received the following e-mail which represents everything that we try and get across to our Members and Subscribers. People question us all the time as to whether our information really works or not, they tell us they don't want to elect to go to court because they are scared and we tell them that, very often, just because you elect to go to court does not mean that you will actually have to run your case. And finally, people are constantly asking us what happens if they lose and what about being stung with extra costs etc. Well, the following testimonial should clear all of that up for you and more. The guy below did have to fight to defeat his unjust and unlawful fine but, in the end, they not only withdrew the case but had to pay him for his time!
Hi ASF and readers,
Twelve months ago I started to fight a parking fine issued by Sutherland Shire Council. The usual replies and denials occurred and the State Debt Recovery Office became involved. After two annulment applications later the matter went before the local court for mention. The Magistrate was not happy with my knowledge and ability to self represent she even threatened to deny my case if I did not consent to the courts legal ability to hear this case (not a court of competent jurisdiction) so I replied " your court has the ability to hear this case how ever only a verdict in favour of the defendant can be handed down other wise the court would appear to show bias in this instance and this is the reason why a court of competent jurisdiction is required so as to remove any bias" how ever she pondered and had no choice but to allow the matter go to a Hearing with two(2) hours allocated for this matter. The SDRO said they did not require two hours, the Magistrate disagreed.
Two weeks before the hearing date the Sutherland Shire Council wrote to me advising that they would not be pursuing the matter any further but warned me they will retain this information if I breach any council laws in the future.The SDRO then rang to advise me they have elected to drop the matter due to the Councils decision to cease any further action and I would not be required to attend court in this matter.
I advised both the Council and SDRO that this hearing was under my control and I was the only party that had the authority to cancel this court action and if both the Council and SDRO wished to have me agree to their request for this matter to be dropped they would have to pay compensation for my costs being:
2 x annulment application fees
Postage and stationary
1 x days wages for two defendants
The SDRO officer spoke to his manager and they have agreed and have put this agreement in writing and have advised the necessary authorities that this matter has been settled out of court through a private agreement.
SO TO ALL READERS OF ASF PLEASE REMEMBER THE SECRET TO ALL THIS IS:
KNOW YOUR INFORMATION
DON'T BACK DOWN AND SUPPORT YOUR ARGUEMENT
ASK FOR YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS TO BE GRANTED
SEEK COMPENSATION AT ALL STAGES TO LET THEM KNOW THEY WERE WARNED ABOUT COSTS FROM THE START.
Regards
Martin
So please, as this e-mail clearly shows you, there is absolutely nothing to fear about fighting your fines and, as you will see below, there is every reason to object to every fine and fight back!
So, why is it important to fight back against every fine and what can you really hope to achieve by doing so. Well, apart from the obvious - which is a victory similar to the one that was clearly outlined in the e-mail above, which is further supported by the numerous similar reports on our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - you can also play your role in a much bigger picture that will help positively affect all Australian motorists. The article below shows that, when everyone bands together and send sends a united message, then changes can and will happen!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6964400/New-speed-cameras-enrage-Arizona-drivers.html
Now, the reality is that if they can achieve this in the US then we can achieve it here as well, we just have to get more people to fight back. We already have a page dedicated to informing motorists why speed cameras actually cause accidents rather than stop them and you can read this important information and add your name to our on-line petition - to have all speed cameras removed - via the following link - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
But, that's only the start because, as we explain on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - the reality is that until the money stops rolling in "they" simply will not take notice. Now, every so often, we still get some mis-guided people e-mailing us who have bought into the media propaganda that speeding fines are still somehow something to do with road safety and revenue raising is simply a by product. Well, let us share with you a few stories that will well and truly put that to rest.
This first story comes from Adelaide and shows that the majority of speed cameras have not been installed in blackspot areas, as they are supposed to be instead, they have been installed in the areas that collect the most revenue. http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26596155-5006301,00.html The 11th paragraph says it all - "This lays waste to the Government's claims that speed cameras are about saving lives."
On a similar note, the Assistant Commissioner of the Victoria Police is forced to admit that the new "Anti-Hoon" laws simply do not work - http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1000851 You will notice that the media very cleverly bury this telling fact in the midst of what is clearly a very sad and tragic story but the fact remains that the current so-called "Road Safety Policies" are simply not working.
And yes, in case you were wondering, this is the very same Assistant Commissioner of Police who fronted all the TAC ads over Christmas telling everyone how dangerous speed is and then covered up the fact that he got a speeding ticket himself - http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/1000042/top-traffic-cop-kept-speeding-fine-secret
There are so many comments we could make here but we will keep to the facts and leave our opinions out of it. Given Assistant Commissioner Lay's prominent position both in the Victoria Police Force and as the face of all the TAC ads, it would be fair to assume that he would be the most careful and conscientious driver on the road - after all, he would hate to have a story get out about him speeding and going against the very campaign he put his face to. So, if he did, in fact, get a speeding ticket, despite being so careful and conscientious, it tells you one of two things - either the speed limits are set so artificially low that even the most careful driver in the state cannot stick to the speed limit and/or the speed camera that detected him allegedly speeding is clearly as faulty as all the other speed cameras out there because surely Mr Lay, of all people, would not speed! We'll let you be the judge but, either way, rest assured that if Mr Lay can get a speeding fine then it is all but inevitable for you.
So, we know that speed cameras do not have anything to do with road safety, we know that they are often not even set up in blackspots - but are clearly installed simply to raise as much revenue as possible - and now we know that even Victoria's top traffic cop can get a fine so, what can you do to protect yourself against the current corrupt and ineffective system? You can go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and grab a copy of our e-book now and urge everyone else you know to do the same. Because, as we highlighted in the story above from Arizona, if people start fighting back then we really can make a difference.
As always, we would urge you to pass this e-mail onto everyone you know and please, tell people to get our e-book before they get a fine because that way, they are fully protected against the inevitable. Remember too, the Australia Day long weekend is only 24 hours away and you can rest assured that the mobile cameras and cops will well and truly be out in force to collect as much revenue as they can on this last holiday period for a while.
Also, to help us spread the word and get every motorist fighting back against these unjust and unlawful fines, we still have business cards and bumper stickers available for anyone who would like to help us get our information "out there" - to the people who need it. So, if you're interested in helping make a difference, please just e-mail us your postal address and we will send them your way.
We would like to leave you with one last story which highlights the absolute absurdity of the current system and how the so-called "authorities" will use the media to great lengths to try and make a point - even if that point make absolutely no sense. Before reading the following story, please remind yourself that Assistant Commissioner Lay admitted that the anti-hoon laws were not working - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/lamborghini-impounded-under-hoon-laws/story-e6frf7l6-1225817120600
So, despite Mr Lay's admissions, the fools in Perth think they can send some kind of a message because the car concerned is a Lamborghini. Now, what kind of message does that possibly send except that they are cold, heartless idiots! How on earth can taking someone's car when he has clearly done nothing wrong send any kind of road safety message? They didn't have much credibility before but this pretty much eliminates it all-together. Please, if anyone knows the doctor concerned, please tell him to contact us so we can get him back his car.
Anyway, thanks again for your continued support and please keep the testimonials and stories coming so we can keep all our Members up to date. And, make sure you keep a keen eye out for the revenue collectors this long weekend.
As always, take care out there.

Why the ASF system is causing the authorities some REAL headaches!
Firstly, we would like to extend our apologies to anyone who had troubles either accessing our website or getting replies from us over the course of the last few weeks. Just after we sent out our last e-mail update someone hacked into both our website and our e-mail server, knowing that all our web guys would be away for the Christmas period and making it all but impossible to rectify properly until now. We have access to – and the support from – some of the top web and IT guys around and they said it was a serious breach so it appears as though we are causing some real headaches for the “powers that be” and they will go to extraordinary lengths to try and shut us down!
Anyway, for the most part, we have the website back up and running again – all-be-it with a few glitches and missing links - but, most importantly, our e-mail server is back up and running. So, if you sent us an e-mail in the past few weeks or so and didn’t get a reply, it is not because we were ignoring you, it was because of the issues outlined above so, if you still haven’t received a reply, just forward us your question again and we will get back to you ASAP.
So, why is the Aussie Speeding Fines information causing such headaches and problems for “Powers that Be”? Because so many people are now successfully fighting back that “they” are really starting to feel the pain. Thus far, “they” have tried putting up all kinds of rubbish about us on the internet – all of which we have quickly and easily re-butted - and “they” have tried to discredit us and say our information doesn’t work – yet we receive testimonials from Members every week now saying that it does.
Not surprisingly, the one web page that was hacked into and affected the most was our Testimonials page – now, that says a lot in and of itself. We are currently trying to retrieve backups and get everything loaded back onto this page so please keep checking in as we will not only re-instate what was there but also add some new ones ASAP.
Speaking of new testimonials, we received a number of reports back from Members over the Christmas period that ranged from quick success – after writing just two letters – right through to a Member who has been fighting one fine for over two years and finally beat it! We have received many others as well but we have included those two for you below so you can see for yourself that, despite what certain so-called “authorities” would have you believe, our system really does work!
How simple is this? The lady concerned copied and pasted her details into just two of our letters and the fine was withdrawn:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at ASF,
I would like to share with you the recent and first win from using your information in an appropriate time period (immediately after receiving the fine).
During December, after writing a notice of objection, then using the clarification letter in response to their initial response of "we believe the fine is 'just' you need to pay it and no other correspondence will be entered into" I sent the clarification letter and then...
I triumphantly got in the post INFRINGEMENT WITHDRAWAL AND OFFICIAL WARNING letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now this is the first one I have fought in due course and in a timely manner from being fined, there are others that I am working on, BUT IT'S A WIN!
Thank you so much for all your hard work,
I look forward to telling you about more success's.

Now, this guy had to work a little harder because he was also facing a licence suspension as well as a taxi licence suspension but, he got his victory in the end. How many people would have just blindly paid the fine straight off and then had to deal with being off the road for 6 months? This guy would have lost his licence and his livelihood and income if he hadn’t fought back!
Hi Guys,
Back in October 2007 I was pinged twice in two days and topped 12 points on my licence. I took the proffered 12 months deferred suspension and was doing well until October last year, when I was pinged again.
I received a TIN for an alleged 58kph in a 50 zone. This was, of course, reduced to 55kph with a $142.00 and one point penalty.
I followed the Three Step method and, over the next eight months I exchanged five or six letters with an ever increasingly threatening Civic Compliance, Victoria Police and the Magistrates Court of Victoria (all housed at the same address in Melbourne).
As things moved along, I was informed that my drivers licence was suspended from August 2009 and, subsequently, my Taxi Drivers accreditation was also revoked.
I finally got my day in Court, albeit in front of a single magistrate, in November 2009.
The beak wanted to know why I had sent all these letters, “which don’t work. And this rubbish about Constitutional Rights won’t get you anywhere, either”, and why I hadn’t just filled in the form on the back of the notice asking for a court appearance in the first place.
He reluctantly agreed to “allow” me a court hearing and the case was listed for Mention in January 2010 - 15 months after the alleged offence.
Referring to the South Australian case, in which the unreliability of radar devices in the vicinity of High Tension cables was successfully used as a defence, I made an FOI request seeking all speed readings from the same day I was pinged.
On the 22nd December (the Equinox for anyone into that stuff) a letter arrived from Vic Roads informing me that the TIN had been cancelled and that the offence, along with the associated demerit points, had been removed from my driver licence record. It also informed me that my extended demerit point period had ended on December 31st 2008!
I’m not sure whether it was the time limit or the FOI request that made them give up, but I have now sent copies of Vic Roads’ letter to the court asking for the case to be dismissed and to the Taxi Directorate asking for my Driver Accreditation to be reinstated without record of any offence.
Hooray for us!

So, as you can clearly see from these two testimonials, our system does work and, for as little as $67 it can literally save your licence and possibly even your job. That’s why we proudly state that our e-book is the best motoring investment you will ever make! So, if you’re not yet a Member, or you know someone who isn’t then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
Not only did we receive a heap of new testimonials over the Christmas period but we also received a ton of e-mails with links to various stories about unjust and unlawful speeding fines and parking fines that had been reported in the media. Now, we got so many that this e-mail would go on for 10 pages if we tried to include them all so we have included a selection for you below that are relevant to most drivers and, if you’re not already well and truly “frustrated and annoyed” (insert your own expletives here) with the current system then you certainly will be after reading/seeing these.
The first is probably the most ridiculous and offensive story we came across. It is about our good “friends” at Australian National Carparks who have absolutely no legal authority to issue a fine at all and, if you get one of these fines from a private car park then immediately apply the 3 step parking process from chapter 3 of the e-book as these fines are the simplest of all to defeat. You can see the story for yourself by following this link - http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-au&brand=ninemsn&tab=m164 – and selecting the “Parking Fine Investigation” story on the top row.
The following story is a lovely little media spin, trying to convince people in NSW why they need to bring back mobile speed cameras. Unfortunately, it is full of lies and fiction – they suggest that “the current fixed camera program is having significant results in the reduction of fatal, serious and major crashes” – what the article fails to mention is that there were 85, yes you read correctly, eighty five more fatalities in NSW in 2009 than in 2008, a total of 459, despite having more speed cameras operating than ever before. You can read this rubbish via the following link - http://www.smh.com.au/national/police-back-call-for-mobile-speed-cameras-20100101-llrp.html
Finally, there was one honest story that we came across. Of course, it wasn’t in the mainstream media but at least someone had the courage to write the truth about the current system. http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/12/23/172125_robyn-wuth-opinion.html
Not only does this article expose the truth about the real reason behind speed cameras – being plain and simply to raise revenues – but the author also backs up perfectly everything we have been saying about the need for better driver training and education.
The simple fact is that the current system has absolutely nothing to do with road safety and is simply about raising revenue. We have further reports detailing this on our Petition to remove Cameras page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html and we would urge you all to log into our on-line petition page and add your signature.
Finally, there is a way of putting an end to this madness and eventually bringing in some of the ideas and strategies that are outlined on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - the way to do this is to encourage every single person you know to become a Member and to use our tried and tested information to fight back against every unjust and unlawful traffic fine they receive.
To assist with this process, and to help you spread the word, we have business cards and bumper stickers available to anyone who would like to hand them out, all you need do is e-mail us – be sure to include your mailing address – and we will post them out to you. Please note, we had a huge rush on bumper stickers over the Christmas period but we will be receiving our next batch this coming Monday and will be able to send them out for you then.
As always, we would like to thank you all for your continued support and thanks to everyone who sent in testimonials and media articles for us well. Once again, we would like to extend a very special thank you to you all for your patience and understanding over these past few weeks whilst we got our server issues sorted out and hopefully, with the new security measures in place, we won’t have any problems again.
Stay safe out there!
January 2, 2010
The media finally reports on the dangers of speed cameras!
Firstly, we would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year! We trust that you have all enjoyed your holidays thus far and that 2010 is an excellent year in every respect for you.
Okay, so moving straight onto our main point for this e-mail – we have said it many times before, speed cameras actually increase accidents. In fact, we created an entire page outlining various reports from around the world that show how speed cameras actually cause more accidents than they save. If you haven’t yet seen it, please check it out now - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
Well, now, even the mainstream media, right here in Australia, have confirmed that the speed cameras here are also a very big threat to road safety – the very thing they were supposedly implemented to improve. Please see the following story entitled “Speed Camera Flashes” on the following page - http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-au&brand=ninemsn&tab=m164 – the video will move its position each day so just search for that title shown on the 30th of December, 2009
This report shows what a danger these cameras are on our roads and re-iterates our position, that they should be removed from service in this country. We were very pleased to hear in the closing remarks of the story that all of the motorists concerned would be fighting their fines – something that we suggest that every motorist does.
The fact remains that speed cameras are a danger and speed camera fines do nothing to reduce the road toll and therefore no-one should ever pay a speed camera fine. There are now so many ways to successfully fight unjust and unlawful traffic fines – such as speed camera fines, parking fines, red light camera fines etc. – that our e-book has recently grown to 85 pages.
So, if you’re not yet a Member then we would urge you to go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
Should you be in any doubt as to how well our information works and/or how simple the steps are to follow, then we would urge you to take a few minutes to read over our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
We have no doubt that many of you reading this e-mail update will have either received an unjust and unlawful fine this Christmas period or will know someone who has. Please don’t leave it til the last minute, get a copy of our licence saving information BEFORE you receive the fine, if possible, as this will give you the greatest chance of defeating it.
We are still collecting reports on the official road toll figures in each state but the following story should make the early facts very clear – despite all the new speed cameras that have been installed, despite all the unjust and unlawful fines that have been handed out in the past year, the road toll has still increased!
The following story suggests that the national road toll increased by 60 last year and refers to this as a sharp increase - http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/989443/new-strategy-urged-to-reduce-road-toll The author also states that the current “strategies” designed to reduce the road toll have clearly not worked and that new strategies need to be looked at.
Surprise, surprise, this is exactly what we have been saying for the last two and a half years on our Vision for the Future page – http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
So, let’s make 2010 the year the year that we finally put an end to the ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising system that is currently in place and force the “powers that be” to implement some truly life saving strategies instead. And remember, the only way to force them to take notice of our true road toll reducing strategies is to stop the money – in the vicinity of one billion dollars a year – rolling in. The only way to do that is to get everyone to stop paying these unjust and unlawful fines.
So please, pass this e-mail, and our website details, onto to everyone you know because it is only by sending a united message that we will be able to effect any changes.
As always, thanks again for your continued support and take care out there,
December 14, 2009
Our 25% off Christmas promotion is on now - for 10 days only!
Well, the festive season is fast approaching and that means that the revenue raising goons will be out in force trying to extract as much money as possible from the innocent motorists of Australia. With the addition of double demerit points now in many states you simply cannot afford to be without our information this holiday period.
So, in order to assist as many people as possible we are running our ever popular 25% off Christmas promotion. Now, any of you who have been Members or Subscribers for some time will know that we only ever run a promotion once or twice a year so this truly is a very limited offer.
We are running the promotion from now through til midnight on Christmas Eve and you will need to enter the word “Christmas” into the Coupon Code box when placing your order and the 25% discount will be automatically applied. Please note that this discount applies to all digital and hard copy versions of our e-book only. You can become a Member and take advantage of this very special offer by clicking the following link - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and selecting the option that best suits you.
As per our regularly updated Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - you will note that the best time to get our information is before you get a fine so get in today because this special promotion will only be available until midnight on Christmas Eve.
If you are already a Member then you will truly appreciate the benefit of being armed with the latest information on defeating all unjust and unlawful traffic fines and you will appreciate what a brilliant Christmas gift this would make for anyone who drives in this country. Please note that orders must be in by the end of this week to ensure delivery in time for Christmas.
On a separate note, we received the following story through from one of our Members who has family overseas and the article below, from England, further confirms that speed cameras do absolutely nothing to save lives or reduce accidents:
http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/4757738.Four_months_on_and_scrapping_of_speed_cameras_is_defended/
You will note that the article clearly states that, despite 5 cameras being switched off “There has been no increase in accidents at those locations.” So, since you now know for certain that speed cameras are simply there to raise revenue, we would urge you to visit our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and add your signature to the list to help have these unlawful and ineffective devices removed from our roads too.
In fact, to demonstrate how utterly determined the majority of police are to raise revenue by fining motorists, the following story shows how they treat the one fair officer who tried to actually help people:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/police-officer-sacked-for-handing-out-speeding-fines-below-the-level-the-law-required-him-to/story-e6frf7jo-1225803633146
And the police wonder why motorists have no faith in them or “the system” anymore – what a joke! One cop actually tries to teach motorists a lesson in a fair and reasonable way – by fining them but helping them to still keep their licence and thus, their livelihood, and this is how he is treated – what a PR disaster for the Victoria Police.
So please, don’t for one moment think that this holiday period is going to be anything other than a massive grab for cash by police officers, mobile and fixed cameras as well. There will be more police on our roads this year than ever before and there will be more cameras operating than ever before so your chances of receiving an unjust and unlawful fine this holiday period will be dramatically increased over previous years.
So, be sure to protect your licence this coming holiday period by being of our informed and educated motorists and, when the discussion of fines comes up during work break up parties and the like – as it inevitably does – please pass our details onto everyone you can.
We still have some business cards and bumper stickers left so if anyone would like to help promote our information and assist fellow motorists then please e-mail us and we will send some out your way.
Once again, we thank you all for your continued support and we hold out every hope that 2010 will be the year that we finally put an end to the ridiculous and ineffective system that is currently being enforced and that the “powers that be” finally start taking notice of the many ideas that we have outlined on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Take care out there,
November 25, 2009
Enough with the speed camera CRAP!
That’s it, we’ve cracked it! We have seriously had enough. Each time we release an update providing more proof that speed cameras are simply there to raise revenue – please refer to our last e-mail update - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html - they release another story in the media with more crap about how they supposedly save lives.
The latest stories from Queensland about the “necessity” to install 8 speed cameras in a single tunnel to supposedly “save lives” would have to be the most mis-leading rubbish on this subject that we have ever read. The sad fact is that many motorists will buy into this crap and then very likely blindly pay the multiple fines they receive from these unlawful revenue raising devices.
Now, we know we have sent many media articles through but we really have to warn you about the following few stories because, as regular readers of our updates, we know that you are going to be appalled and disgusted by their content. So, please read with care:
The first story is from the Courier Mail in Brisbane - http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26386088-952,00.html – and has the Police Minister trying to justify the need for 8 new speed cameras in a tunnel less than 7 kilometres long.
The third paragraph is the most important one for you, as informed and educated motorists, to note. The speed camera “policy and use” manual clearly states that cameras are ONLY to be used in areas that are known blackspots. How on earth can they justify installing 8 cameras on a stretch of road that hasn’t even opened yet, let alone had a single accident?
How about following their own guidelines and waiting to see if there are actually any accidents in that particular tunnel and then deciding if installing a speed camera is the most appropriate remedy instead of just jumping the gun and installing 8 – just to make as much money as quickly as possible.
Exactly the same principle applies to all the illegally erected cameras on the recently opened Eastlink Road in Victoria. Should you ever receive a speeding fine from one of these cameras you would immediately raise the fact that they have been installed against the speed camera policy and therefore any subsequent fines are unjust, unlawful and un-enforceable.
Of course, the real reason these cameras are being installed is outlined in paragraph 8 – to raise revenue. The beauty is that the 10th paragraph clearly explains your ultimate defence against any fines issued by these cameras – assuming the legal points raised above are somehow overlooked or discounted – and that is that these cameras are now digital and therefore the flawed MD5 algorithm applies to ensure that no photos from these unjust and unlawful devices can be used in court against you.
Now, if you’re not sure of the significance of the flawed MD5 algorithm or how to use it to your advantage then you need to become a Member and grab a copy of our e-book straight away so that you are armed with this licence saving information. Please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and order your copy now.
Okay, moving on, there is another interesting article within that last story which can be reached by following the “Editorial – save lives before issuing fines” link below paragraph 5. Otherwise, you can use the following direct link - http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26385322-13360,00.html
This is another story from the Courier Mail and brilliantly covers the very points that we raise above – namely, the fact that speed cameras are only supposed to be installed in known blackspots and this new tunnel is clearly not one of them and furthermore, that the QLD government has completely failed to provide any proof that speed cameras actually save lives or reduce accidents.
The reality is that speed cameras do not save lives at all. You will no doubt be surprised and amazed that, despite sending our last e-mail out to over 11,000 people and asking anyone who has had their life saved by a speed camera to please write to us, we didn’t get a single reply! There is no data, anywhere in the world that shows that speed cameras save lives. In fact, if you take the time to look over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - you will find that speeding is actually only a factor in just 5% of accidents and speed cameras have zero affect on reducing the road toll.
Furthermore, if you look over our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - you will note that numerous studies from around the world show that speed cameras actually increase accidents. So, by installing 8 cameras along this tunnel, the QLD government is almost guaranteeing that they will cause the very thing they are supposedly trying to stop!
Please, if this information upsets and concerns you as much as it should do, then be sure to sign our on-line petition to have all speed cameras removed and be sure to pass this e-mail onto every motorist you know.
But wait, there’s even more. This whole nonsense of installing 8 new cameras in such a small stretch of road has created so much furore that there was even a third article written on it this week. The following article, entitled “Get Real Queensland” shows how absolutely desperate the Police Commissioner is to try and defend this ridiculous decision (to install these 8 cameras) that he goes off on some tangent trying to correlate murdering someone to the need to install these cameras.
You can read the story for yourself here - http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/get-real-queensland-20091124-jaj7.html
Now, let’s get one thing straight, if you murder someone, you get charged and hopefully go to jail. If you even plan to murder someone you would also get charged and still, hopefully go to jail. Yet, you can think about murdering someone all day long and nothing will happen to you.
And, if you kill someone on the road, you get charged with culpable driving. If you nearly kill someone on the road or even have an accident that is clearly your fault, you will get charged with dangerous driving. You can’t get charged for “speeding” when it has nocorrelation to killing anyone or even causing an ACCIDENT!
There is no victim and there is no crime and therefore there is no need for any punishment – speeding and the installation of speed cameras are nothing like murdering someone! Seriously, how desperate do you have to be to twist the facts and to come up with such an insane analogy as Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson has done in this story?
At this point, we must say that we agree with the concept that people need to take responsibility for their actions and behaviors on the roads but this is not achieved through speed cameras – as the Police Commissioner suggests - it is achieved through re-education and better driver training – which is what Aussie Speeding Fines is all about ultimately trying to achieve. Mr Atkinson’s suggestion that “shrugging off speeding fines and speed cameras means that you are shrugging off your responsibility of care” is as outrageous as it is baseless – has can provide absolutely no evidence to back up this ridiculous claim and making statements like this again, just shows how utterly desperate he is.
Again, we know we’ve explained it a dozen times before but we will keep explaining it until every motorists gets it – speed cameras do not save lives, they do not reduce the number of crashes and they do not even cause people to slow down. After all, if they did, then why are more and more speeding tickets issued every year? The simple fact of the matter is that speed cameras are there simply to raise revenue and we challenge anyone to provide factual evidence to the contrary.
So seriously, enough is enough of this rubbish. Let’s make 2010 the year to put an end to the use of these blatant revenue raising devices in Australia and let’s implement some strategies that truly will make our roads safer.
We would urge you all to please make sure that you have signed our on-line petition to have all speed cameras removed from service - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and we would ask you to familiarise yourself with the types of strategies that really will make our road safer, on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Then, when you understand that we truly are here to make a difference for all motorists we would urge you to help spread the word by passing this e-mail onto everyone in your Contacts list and also joining our Affiliate program – where you can earn a 33% commission on all Memberships simply by helping other people to save their licence!
We would also like to remind you that we still have some business cards and bumper stickers left from our last run so if anyone would like us to send some out free of charge to further help spread the word then just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some your way.
Finally, if you really want to do something pro-active to help remove all these unjust, unlawful and ineffective speed cameras from our roads then we would remind you to please contact Darryl from the Community Law Resource Group at www.communitylawresourcegroup.info/ or on 0407 341 366.
Far too many times in life we hear people say things along the lines “It’s no big deal, there’s no need to make Federal case out of it.” Well, the situation with speed cameras causing completely innocent motorists to lose their licences as well as hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars is a big deal and Darryl and his group are doing exactly that – making a Federal case out of it.
Darryl needs all the support and donations he can get to help bring this case to fruition so please contact him via the details above and/or see our August 7th, 2009 update – via our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html – for further details. Remember, Darryl is using a professional Barrister and all funds donated will be placed into a trust account with a view of being returned upon successful completion of the case.
Please see this latest request from Darryl below and let’s follow in the footsteps of the very generous student who has truly stepped up to help make a difference:
Hi Guys,
We have had 4 people contribute to the court case thanks to your email out to your extensive database. One of those contributors put in $1000 and he is a student who used his bonus payment from the tax office to contribute to the cause. At this moment we have only raised about $1500 so we are a long way from the mark. We, at the Community law Resource Group, are asking again to put a plea to the good people on your database to contribute just $2 or $4 each and that is all that is needed to put the cameras and all speed detecting devices into the National Measurement Institute for verification.
Kind Regards
Darryl O'Bryan
Chairman Community Law Resource Group
Once again, we thank you all for your continued support and we hope you all stay safe out there.

Media Proof that speed cameras INCREASE crashes!
We find it incredible that, in this day and age, with all the information out there, some people still honestly believe that speed cameras actually “Save lives”. Now, apart from the obvious fact that a speed camera has never jumped off a pole and resuscitated anyone or physically saved a single life at all, there is actually overwhelming evidence that not only do they not save lives but they actually increase accidents! We encourage anyone who has ever had their life saved by a speed camera to please write to us and let us know.
Now, we have been saying this since we started our website over two and a half years ago but, back then, people didn’t believe us. So, about a year ago, we put up the following webpage - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - which has evidence from studies done around the world that speed cameras increase accidents. These studies also show that when speed cameras are removed and/or speed limits are raised, there are fewer accidents.
The following story is from the Courier Mail in Brisbane and relates to a particular camera in London, England and it backs up what we have had on our website perfectly. http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26355319-954,00.html
Statements like “…. but figures released by police show crashes have risen by a quarter at the site.” and “A Freedom of Information request …. showed casualties have almost doubled since 2001 when the camera was set up.” should be of concern to motorists in every country that still uses speed cameras. The reality is that casualties have almost doubled in the spot that this camera was installed but it remains there because it has raised a million dollars in revenue.
So, why do people still choose to believe that speed cameras are there for anything other than revenue raising? We really don’t know but the following story from the Sunday Times in Perth certainly confirms the fact that people are starting to catch on to the issues we have been raising for a number of years now. http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,,26350207-2761,00.html
It is the following paragraph, from that story, that concerns us the most and is the whole reason that we launched our website in the first place – “There are also worries that innocent motorists could be slapped with fines.” Speed cameras have been proven time and again to be fundamentally flawed and that is why hundreds of thousands of innocent motorists are unjustly and unfairly fined each year and why we are doing everything we can to put a stop to it.
Please keep in mind the next paragraph of that same story – “In Victoria, Tenix Solutions was stripped of a multimillion-government contract in 2007 after a string of bungles. More than 1100 speeding tickets were wrongly issued.” What on earth makes anyone in WA think the same won’t happen there?
The fact is that speed cameras are there for one thing and one thing only – raising revenue. Again, should you have any doubt about this, please see pages 8 - 12 of the following report and see how proud the Redflex Group are for making so much money from innocent motorists - http://www.redflex.com/public_documents/presentations/2005-09-12%20Investor%20Briefing.pdf Yes, we know it’s a few years old and we know that we have sent it out before but we will continue sending this information out until people finally get the message – speed cameras are solely about raising revenue and have nothing to do with road safety!
Simple 5 year old mathematics will prove this beyond any doubt. Millions of speeding fines are issued each year and, if speed really was the “killer” that the media makes it out to be then the road toll would be in the millions, or at least hundreds of thousands. It’s not, it’s only in the hundreds. And, even in those hundreds of accidents, speed is only a factor in 5% of them! Speeding has next to nothing to do with accidents. Please see the following page for further proof of this - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
The majority of accidents are caused by either not driving to the conditions or in-attention. The introduction of speed cameras has seen drivers focusing far more on their speedos than the road and traffic in front of them, thus causing more accidents and this is why these unjust and unlawful revenue raising devices must be removed. Then, motorists can go back to driving sensibly - whether a few k's above or below an arbitrarily set speed limit or not - and take responsibility for their actions rather than having Big Brother breathing down their neck whilst the road toll steadily increases!
So please, pass this e-mail onto everyone you know who drives on our roads. Let’s put an end to this lunacy once and for all and let’s get every unjust and unlawful speed camera removed from service in this country. And, again, should anyone reading this be in any doubt that all speed cameras are, in fact, unjust and unlawful, please read the following response from Dr Brittain that was sent to one of our Members recently:
Dear Mr .....
I refer to your e-mail of 29 July 2009 (below) and I would make the following responses to your questions:
1. The certificates referred to in section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth) are issued by either the NMI’s Chief Metrologist or legal metrology authorities appointed by the Chief Metrologist under the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth) i.e. certifying and verifying authorities. NATA accreditation does not itself confer the right to issue certificates under the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth).
2. Neither the CSIRO not the RMIT are appointed as a legal metrology authority under the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth) and I am unaware of their NATA accreditation status.
3. Pattern approvals are granted exclusive by the NMI’s Chief Metrologist.
4. Section 109 of the Constitution refers to inconsistency between State and Commonwealth law and the former cannot grant exempts from the provisions of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth).
This e-mail is entirely without prejudice and nothing in it constitutes legal advice express or implied.
Yours sincerely
Richard Brittain

Proof that local councils have no lawful authority!
Well, it has been a few weeks since we last sent out an e-mail update and this is because we have been absolutely inundated with e-mails in that time.
We have had a heap of new testimonials come through from yet more Members who have successfully used our information to fight back against unjust and unlawful fines and win. You can view some of the latest ones on our Testimonials page at - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
One of the most important e-mails we received in the past few weeks was one that was passed onto us, originally from John Wilson. Here’s what he had to say about a recent case that you can look up and verify for yourselves in the Parramatta Court in relation to Local Councils having no legal authority to issue fines as a result of Question 3 of the 1988 Referendum (this is explained in detail in Chapter 9 of our e-book):
“Yesterday morning, in the Parramatta Local Court, my son, Anthony, defended himself against a parking fine, and made the above quite clear to the "Magistrate" and said the Parramatta Council were a corporation, with an A.B.N. (Australian Business Number), that did not own public roads, etc.. The "Magistrate" refused to accept his words and said, "It sounds like a lot of waffle, to me." He said he would deal with the matter after he had dealt with some other cases. I went around to the Parramatta Library and a librarian printed off a page of a website showing that there was, indeed, just that question put to that 1988 Referendum. Copies were made and given to the "Magistrate" and the Prosecuting Attorney for the Council. To cut the story short: the first "Magistrate" would not handle the case and passed it onto another "Magistrate" who, in turn, sent it to another "Magistrate" and the third "Magistrate" eagerly dismissed the case against Anthony when the Prosecuting Attorney announced that he would not offer any evidence.”
So, if there is anyone out there who, in any way, doubts the authenticity or effectiveness of what we say, the above should well and truly put that to rest. As we stated earlier, you are welcome to contact the Parramatta Court and verify the outcome as outlined above.
We have also received a heap of questions about the so-called “New Road Rules” in Victoria as well as many e-mails with links to a number of very interesting media stories.
Firstly, the new “Road Rules” are exactly that “rules” They are not law, they have not been enacted in the Queen’s name - as they are required to be – and the Victorian Parliament hasn’t even seen the original publication entitled “Road Rules Victoria” let alone enacted it. Once again, this can be easily verified by requesting a copy of the Hansard entry – which is like the Minutes of a Meeting for Parliament – which details when these “rules” were discussed in Parliament – it never happened! So, whilst we appreciate that many people, specifically those in Victoria, are worried about these new “rules”, you have nothing to be concerned about because any fines emanating from these changes are just as unjust and unlawful as all other traffic fines.
Now, another very interesting e-mail we received recently contained the following link - http://www.roadsense.com.au/factsandfigures.html Now, we have no affiliation with this site what-so-ever, yet it mirrors the points we raise on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html and also our Petition to Remove Speed Cameras page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - almost perfectly. Please spend a few minutes to read over these pages so that you know the truth about these revenue raising devices.
Please note, there is something you can do about this injustice! You can join the 10,000+ Members and Subscribers who are educating themselves with our information and fighting back against these unjust and unlawful fines with the strategies in our e-book “Speeding Fines - What You Really Need to Know!” If you don’t have a copy yet, please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now!
Here’s another story, this time from the Sydney Morning Herald, that once again mirrors exactly what we have been saying – that speed is not a killer at all and our roads would actually be safer if speed limits were increased rather than ridiculous fines being issued for exceeding sped limits that were set artificially low in the first place - http://www.smh.com.au/drive/motor-news/is-speed-really-a-killer-20091030-ho9e.html
And here is a story from the Herald Sun that clearly shows how out of control things are and how desperate people have become to save their licences - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/drivers-pay-others-to-take-blame-for-speeding-fines-and-traffic-offences/story-e6frf7l6-1225789063140 Now, we must point out that this is not the answer and engaging in this type of conduct could get you into a lot of trouble. Besides, as we said earlier, there is simply no need to go to these extremes when, for as little as just $67, you can become a Member and get our licence saving information as well as free updates for life.
So please, pass this e-mail onto everyone you know who drives so that they are armed with all our information before they get a fine and end up in a similar situation. Also, just a quick reminder that we have just finished another run of business cards and bumper stickers so if you would like to help spread the word, please e-mail us your postal address and we will send some out to you.
Finally, as many of you know, we are still working with another group who are about to release an e-book that covers proven techniques and strategies for fighting back against the banks. We have had a look over their info and it is truly amazing stuff. As soon as we know more, we will pass it on to all our Members. In the meantime, we received the following e-mail that gives everyone an opportunity to voice their displeasure on a whole range of topics and so we thought we would pass this on to you all.
Hi Guys,
I have just dropped you a line to invite all Aussie speeding fine members to make complaints against government agencies (ie SDRO etc) into our new database/website at www.nationalcomplaints.com.au . This database has been 2 years in the making and we would like to record of all these complaints. The complaint will come under the Government selection as we also take complaints against companies as well. Our goal is to have a record of the displeasure that people have against an unfair and unjust system. We do not disclose any private information without the users consent. I am a member of Aussie speeding Fines and have used your knowledge to get off 2 unjust infringements, so it gives us pleasure to try and help your cause as well. So take look at our site as we would like to have as many government complaints as possible.
Kind Regards
Collin Kalwy
Director
National Complaints
We would encourage you all to have a look at this site and register any and all complaints that you have so that “we the people” can finally be heard and start making some changes to the current “police states” that we are currently being subjected to.
As always, thanks to everyone for their continued support and, stay safe out there!
P.S. We are expecting another large response to our mailout this week so please be patient with us and we will reply to your e-mails as quickly as we can.
October 14, 2009
Police admit to using the same reading to book multiple drivers!
Once again, we have been inundated with e-mails over the past week or so, since our last e-mail update. We have found that there has been an interesting balance this week between further reports of revenue raising by the police and feedback and success stories from our Members. There were way too many e-mails to include them all in his update so what we have done is provided links to the most important stories and we have put a number of new Testimonials up on our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - so please take a few moments to read over them.
You will note that we have feedback from people who have won simply using the 3 step letter process and also those who quickly and easily won their cases in court, using our information. In fact, we have added 5 new Testimonials – including two from the same person for two different fines – just in the last week!
Anyway, onto our headline story where a police officer has finally admitted something that we have been telling Members in our e-book all along – that police will use the same reading on a hand held device to book numerous motorists. You can read the full story for yourself below:
http://www.theage.com.au/national/false-speed-readings-used-to-issue-tickets-20091007-gn8k.html
This is precisely why we tell all our Members that they MUST ask the officer whenever they are pulled over "Can you please show me where, on that device, it shows my vehicle speeding?" Of course, they can’t do that and that is a very important question to get on the record. For other vital questions to ask and equally important, things not to say, please refer to Chapter 2 of our e-book.
If you’re not yet a Member then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now. Just knowing the right questions to ask when you’re pulled over or knowing how to instantly deal with a camera fine you receive in the mail can be the difference between saving your licence or losing it. On top of that, all the invaluable information that our e-book covers in regards to the laws not being correctly enacted, devices not complying with the requisite Commonwealth laws and the myriad of issues inherent to all speed detection devices, will all serve you well for the rest of your driving years. Remember, once you become a Member you receive updates and support for life!
Speaking of inherent errors with speed detection devices, here’s another story that shows that their own independent testing shows errors with their own equipment - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/road-rage-at-camera-fines/story-e6frf7kx-1225783075529
But wait, there’s more – much more! Here is a story of a 4 month investigation conducted by Channel 9 that showed 568 faults over just 117 speed cameras - http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/172819/sydneys-faulty-speed-cameras-exposed
The 2nd last paragraph says it all – 4 years and $246,000 just to get all the paperwork for the reports on maintenance and accuracy of speed cameras! Now, we know we’ve said it 100 times already but we will keep saying it until everyone gets the message – speed cameras are fundamentally incorrect and only occasionally get it right not the other way around.
It dos not matter how carefully you drive or how far below the speed limit you drive at, with this many errors you will almost certainly receive an unjust and incorrect speeding fine at some point in your life. The best thing you can do is ensure that you are armed and prepared with our information before you get a fine so that you are in the best possible position to defeat it, quickly and easily.
Motorists are constantly bombarded with ridiculous messages like "Speed cameras save lives" and "Speed Kills", yet the statistics prove that this is simply not true. Please take a moment to read over some of the facts and figures for yourselves on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html and also on our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
Here’s another story that proves that what these agencies would have us believe – about speed being such a major factor in accidents – simply doesn’t add up - http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/10/08/145755_gold-coast-news.html
Now, obviously, we do not in any way condone someone driving at excessive speeds, such as 50 km/h over the limit but, if anything, that just goes to further prove our point. If 550 motorists were booked for speeding and "Every K over is a killer" – or so they would have us believe – then where is the report of hundreds of accidents and deaths in this location? Especially given that people were detected at allegedly 50 km/h over the limit.
Here are only two possible answers, either none of these motorists were actually exceeding the speed limit – but were detected as such because the equipment is fundamentally flawed – or speed isn’t anything like the "killer" they would have us believe it is. The truth is that speed has almost nothing to do with accidents but it has everything to do with raising revenue!
Speaking of raising revenue, have a look at what they’re up to now - http://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/6213558/general/parking-cameras-prowl
Now, someone, please explain to us how this is about anything other than blatant revenue raising. Where is the crime? Who is the victim? And, how does any of this impact on Road Safety? What a joke!
Hopefully, the language in the following article will frustrate you to the point of deciding to follow our system, fighting back and never paying an unjust traffic fine again - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/bullied-to-fine-drivers/story-e6frf7jo-1225785167694
This line says it all – "Officers already issue a fine a minute on average, earning $1 a second for city coffers." – yet now they’re being bullied into issuing even more fines that have absolutely nothing to do with road safety.
Seriously, how much longer are we going to just sit there and accept this? How many more people need to receive unjust and unlawful fines before the motorists of this country finally take a united stand and say "Enough is enough"? Our goal is to get every person to fight every unjust or incorrect fine they receive. Sure, it takes a bit of work but look at where we are headed if we don’t!
Finally, one of the key factors that our e-book explains, in detail, that relates to almost ever single traffic fine - whether speeding, parking or red light camera – is the fact that none of these devices comply with Section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960.
Almost every state will try and tell their motorists, in one way or another, that this section of the law is not relevant. Now, our e-book explains exactly why it is relevant and why they must take notice of it. We provide actual case history where a Supreme Court Justice states "In my opinion, Section 10 of the National Measurement Act must be complied with when measurements are taken for any legal purpose. The language of the section is in clear and imperative terms."
For some reason, we get more people from Queensland, than any other state, saying that these agencies ignore this point when it is raised. So, why then do the Queensland Police refer to this very Act themselves, on their own website?
Please read Section 6.2 entitled "References to Legislation" on the following link - http://www.police.qld.gov.au/rti/published/policies/traffic-manual/06/Ch_06_PT1.htm
The fact is that, like all the information that is detailed in our e-book,this point is correct and valid, as are all the strategies that we cover for beating unjust and unlawful traffic fines.
So, there you have it, further proof that all these fines are just about revenue raising and, it’s getting worse. So please, do yourself and everyone you know a huge favour; read over our Testimonials page to ensure that you’re comfortable with the proof that our information works exactly as we say it does, become a Member and then pass this e-mail and our details onto everyone you know. Together, we can make a difference!
You may have noticed that we now have bumper stickers and business cards available for all those who want to help spread the word and don’t forget, if you join our affiliate program then you can actually get paid for simply passing our details on and helping people save their licences! Please see our Affiliates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Affiliates.html - for further details.
Our affiliate program is free to join and if anyone wants bumper stickers or business cards then please just e-mail us your postal address and we will send some out to you.?
As always, thanks to everyone for their continued support and, stay safe out there!

A speeding fine is now issued every 25 seconds – here is what you can do to fight back!
We have been inundated with e-mails and media reports since our last mailout and it seems like people are finally starting to get the message – all these fines are about nothing more than plain and simple revenue raising.
Here is the latest report from The Age newspaper in Melbourne where a speeding fine is issued every 25 seconds.
http://www.theage.com.au/national/speeding-fine-revenue-booms-20090928-g98f.html
Now, we’ve explained this many times before but we will keep explaining it until everyone gets it – the figures do not add up, no matter how you dissect them. They have issued 21% more tickets in the last 12 months yet the road toll has only gone down by 5% therefore, the number of tickets being issued does not correlate to the reduction on the road toll.
Furthermore, they constantly shove down our throats that "Speed Kills" yet, by their own admissions, 312,500 speeding tickets were issued but the road toll only went down by 12 people. Now, if speed is such a big killer, as they would have us believe, then the road toll should have gone through the roof as result of all these motorists supposedly doing the wrong thing!
The fact is that "speed" is only a factor in just 5% of accidents. Please, before you even think about getting our e-book look over the facts and statistics on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Speed is not the problem. Inattention and not driving to the conditions is what causes accidents. If you want further proof of this, please check out the following study - http://www.mobiledia.com/news/46149.html
Speeding fines do not save lives – the figures in the news article above prove this categorically. Speed cameras are not "safety cameras" and they too, do not save lives. In fact, as the information on our on-line petition page shows - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - speed and red light cameras actually increase accidents.
Please read this information thoroughly and then, when you are duly disgusted by the false and misleading rubbish that these agencies and the media constantly shove down our throats, pass these facts onto everyone you know.
The media report above spells it out,
''John Brumby writes a speeding fine every 25 seconds,'' said Mr Mulder, who said the Government was trying to make up for lost revenue from fewer motorists using EastLink than predicted." Speeding fines are simply issued to make up for "lost revenue".
And, as for rubbish in the closing line that "If you abide by the speed limit, you have nothing to worry about" – try explaining that to the elderly drivers, truck and bus drivers and other innocent motorists who are busted every day, despite being able to prove that the claims against them are impossible. The reality is that every single speed detection device in use in this country is fundamentally flawed and even if you drive below the speed limit at all times, you are still almost guaranteed to be issued with an unjust and unlawful fine at some point – especially now that a speeding fines is issued every 25 seconds!
Here’s a similar story from WA - http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/newshome/6108729/thousands-caught-speeding-on-new-highway/
Once again, the facts and figures do not add up. If 8367 drivers were caught exceeding the speed limit and, once again, "Every K over is a Killer’ – as they would have you believe – then where is the report of some 8,000 deaths or even 8,000 accidents???? There is no such report because speed has virtually nothing to do with accidents or the road toll. All they say is that 4 people lost their lives on the road – which, we agree, is very tragic - but there is no suggestion that it happened on that particular road or that any of those deaths had anything to do with speed!
Here is yet another article from WA that again clearly states that they are looking to install more speed and red light cameras just to increase revenue. They even admit that the money that they raise is not going towards road safety campaigns as it is supposed to.
http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/wa-speed-camera-spike-moneymaking-plan-20090921-fxuc.html
Please, we ask you all to step up and say "Enough is enough". Fight back against these ridiculous, unjust and unlawful revenue raising fines and send a message to these agencies that we will no longer tolerate living in a police state and having false and misleading information shoved down our throats.
It is time to send a united message that the motorists of Australia are now ready, willing and able to fight back. Many of you have now become Members and armed yourselves with the life-changing information in our e-book. If you haven’t yet, then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and do so.
We want to be able to send out more e-mails like we did in the last few months, showing reports and statistics of Members successfully fighting back against this corrupt system – please see our News/Updates page if you have missed any of our recent e-mails - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html
If you are in any doubt as to the authenticity and effectiveness of our information, then please spare a few moments to read over our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
In fact, we received the following e-mail just the other day and it explains so much of what we do and why our information is so powerful that we just had to share it with you here:
Hi there team at aussiespeedingfines:
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you all for the second time now for the success of your e book and CD,3 step letters that I follow up & sent to the WA police and the policeman himself, including a full copy for the magistrate that was dealing with my case on the day and according to your e book and CD instructions.
In November last year I was stopped by a police sergeant and his offside for speeding doing 68km/p/h according to them on a 50km zone on a laser hand held gun trap near my place of residence. I was showed the gun telling me that I was doing 68 k/p/h on a 50 zone. This trap for starter was in a road with no housing on either side at all and they were on a very low point of this road coming from both sides [on the bottom of two hills] any how, I told them that I didn’t think I was speeding and did not agree to the reading but I was booked for doing 66 k/p/h on a 50 km/p/h zone. I followed the 3 step letters from your e book to the WA police and the policeman that gave me the infringement but the reply from the police after the first letter was that: As it appears to be your desire this matter has been listed to be dealt with before a magistrate [neither myself nor the West Australian Police will concede any of the clauses 1 to 12 of your letter].
The original court day was to be July 28 but we had a trip booked and I applied for the court day to be postponed and it was postponed for 24 of September just gone. On the day when I fronted up court and going into court to register with the Clark of courts I was approached by the prosecutor wanting to find out more about these letters and if I was to maybe plead guilty, according to his words, say to be doing 56-58 k/p/h. My response was, "No, you have not responded to any of my query in which I’m entitled to by law". In short, he wanted to know if I had taken any legal advice and were did I get these letters from. I told them that I had been on the net and generally doing some research, he then told me that they didn’t have to rely on the gun reading to prosecute me and that the police officer’s word would be enough to convict me. To be honest, this infuriated me to say the least but told him that I’m innocent, I didn’t think that I was speeding and my request for proof of that had not been forthcoming and that the magistrate would have to decide. He said, "Yes, we will let the magistrate decide."
Upon fronting up the magistrate, the prosecutor asked the magistrate to delay the case because the police srg that booked me was not there yet. Upon the arrival of the police srg and after speaking with the prosecutor I was quickly approached outside the court room by the police that booked me and informed that they will be dropping the case and he was most interested in finding out about these letters sent to them, he wanted to know where I got them from because they are having quite a few on the system. I pretty much told him the same as I had told the prosecutor but he looked unconvinced, not that I cared anyhow.
Upon fronting up, the magistrate the above was mentioned by the prosecutor and I was informed by the magistrate that the case was dropped and that I was free to go. I’m over the moon with the results and would like to thank you all very much for your effort persistent and encouragement that you bring out in your CD and e book.
Many Thanks
Sam
So, there you have it, further proof that our information works, exactly as we say it does.
Once again, we would like to remind you all that we now have bumper stickers and business cards available, free of charge, to anyone who would like to help spread the word about our information and to help put an end to the ridiculous and ineffective revenue raising system that is being forced upon the innocent drivers of this country. If you would like us to send you some sticker and/or cards please just e-mail us your postal address and we will forward some to you.
As always, thanks again for your continued support and for helping to get this message out to every motorist in Australia!
Take care out there,
September 17, 2009
Look how desperate they've become now!
Well, it’s been yet another interesting week. Following on from our last e-mail update, where we provided links to the reports showing that 45% of people who challenge their fines are now getting off, things have really started heating up. In case you missed it, please go to our News/Updates page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html – to catch up on this and any other update e-mail that you may have missed.
Anyway, now that we have so many Members successfully fighting back against unjust and unlawful fines, these agencies have become increasingly desperate to raise their precious revenue and they have resorted to some extraordinary tactics.
We have been sent a number of reports over the past week or so but the two below really grabbed our attention in respect to illustrating jut how desperate they have now become.
The first story – believe it or not – relates to a parking ticket that was issued to a dog! Yes, you read correctly, a dog! Check out the story below for full details:
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26015843-421,00.html
If that’s not blatant revenue raising and pure desperation then we don’t know what is!
And, here’s another one to make you want to start taking serious action against the people that we elected to look after us:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200406/s1131149.htm
Please, if anyone of you out there requested your politicians to take measures like this then please let us know. If any of you condone this type of deceptive and subversive behaviour, again, drop us a line. Otherwise, we would urge you all to start sending a message back to the governments and their agents that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated!
But wait, there’s more! Not only are they going to ridiculous lengths to try and issue more fines but, given that so many people are now fighting back against these unjust and unlawful fines, certain state governments are trying to bring in totally preposterous legislation.
In the story below, you will see that in South Australia they are trying to suggest that a solitary Justice of the Peace now has the authority to hear a case in respect to a so-called "quasi-criminal" fine:
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26079155-5006301,00.html
Now, as we have explained in great detail in our e-book, a solitary Magistrate – which is really just a Bail Justice – has no authority to hear these cases, despite the fact that do so every day because people let them get away with it. But, by no stretch of anyone’s imagination, could they ever assert that a Justice of the Peace has any right to do so what-so-ever!
Should you require some independent verification of a number of legal points – including the one above - that we make in our e-book, we would direct you to the following website: http://www.larryhannigan.com/Constitution.htm
On this website you will see further proof that a single Judge or Magistrate does not constitute a lawful court. They re-iterate what we say about local councils having no lawful authority and they touch on the point of a Referendum, which is explained in much greater detail in our chapter on Parking Fines, in the our e-book. They also explain why costs cannot be awarded against you, even if you lose and they also touch on the ramifications of the Forge v ASIC ruling.
We receive e-mails every week asking us if our information works in such and such state and, as we explain – and this website verifies – because our e-book relies on Commonwealth legislation and because Section 109 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, the information we provide applies equally to all states.
It is important to point out that we have no affiliation with this website at all, it is just something that was forwarded to us by a number of our Members who also noticed the striking similarity in a number of points that are raised both on this website and in our e-book.
Thankfully, people are finally starting to wake up to the truth about these ridiculous revenue raising fines. And, because so many people are successfully fighting back, a number of these agencies are being forced to "come clean".
In the following story about parking fines from the City of Melbourne, they freely admit that "parking fines were excellent revenue raisers for the city." They then go onto admit what we have said all along "That fine revenue is built into the city’s budget each year." Now, how can that possibly be seen as anything other than blatant revenue raising?
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/driven-to-despair-parking-officers-fine-you-82000-a-day/story-e6frf7jo-1225765380405
However, as we said in last week’s e-mail, there is no need to despair because the average person now has more or less a 50/50 chance of getting off any fine they object to and, armed with our information, that chance is dramatically increased.
To find out just how successful our Members are at avoiding these unjust and unlawful fines, please take a moment to read over our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
Also, we came across the following story which again confirms one of the key strategies for fighting any and all types of speeding fines – the photo from a speed camera cannot be used as evidence against you and interference affects all types of speed detection devices. See the story below for full details: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,26027954-2682,00.html
Our e-book contains actual paragraphs from the training manuals for radar, laser and speed camera devices which explain the various types of interference in detail and exactly what you need to do, step-by-step, to avoid paying these ridiculous and unjust fines.
So, if you don’t have a copy of our e-book yet, then please go to our Membership’s page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
Finally, we would like to thank all of you, once again, who have kindly offered to hand out business cards on our behalf and place bumper stickers on your vehicles. We have just received our latest run of stickers and a new batch of business cards will be arriving in the next few days so if anyone would like to assist us in spreading the word and putting an end to the current corrupt and unlawful system then please e-mail us. Be sure to let us know how many stickers or cards you are after and include your postal address and we will send them out to you free of charge.
As always, we welcome you to forward these e-mails on to everyone you know and hopefully, as the last few mailouts clearly show, we will continue making an impact and we will finally be in a position for the government to take note of the many new strategies and ideas that we have on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Thanks again and stay safe out there!

Irrefutable proof that our Members are fighting back and WINNING!
Yes, we’re even working on Father’s Day – Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there – but the information in this week’s e-mail is so important that we just couldn’t wait to get it out.
It has been a very exciting time since our last e-mail. We have received more testimonials from Members who have successfully used our system to fight back and win. You can read the latest ones at - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
We also received an e-mail from an ex-cop who explained, in detail, a situation where he was sure a motorist had gone through a red light yet, when he actually stopped to check for himself, he found that the automated light sequence was actually incorrect. He rightly pointed out that, if he wasn’t physically there to check, then no-one would have ever known about the incorrect light sequence and this is precisely the problem with a fully automated system – such as speed and red light cameras – that have no human involvement what-so-ever. Please read our Bonus Report 3 that starts on page 69 of our e-book for further details on why there must be some kind of human correlation before any fine can be justly issued.
However, these e-mails were just the tip of the iceberg of our excitement last week because, a couple of very interesting reports have now been revealed under Freedom of Information and we’re sure you will be delighted with their contents.
The two media releases below, from NSW and Vic – the two states with the highest revenue from unjust and unlawful fines – show that tens ofthousands of motorists have saved themselves literally millions of dollars – as well as their licences, in many cases - by fighting their fines!
So, please take a moment to read these two reports for yourself and take particular note of the story from NineMSN, which states that 45% of people who fought their fines won!
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/855990/motorists-save-6m-in-parking-fines
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sunday-telegraph/secret-figures-reveal-5m-traffic-fine-mess/story-e6frewt0-1225767365005
Now, we would obviously like to suggest that it was the 45% of people with our information who won but we obviously could never justify that and, as those of you who have been Members for the past 2 and a half years that we have been operating would know, we pride ourselves on the correctness and authenticity of the information that we provide.
Obviously, we have no idea how many of those people who fought back actually have our information but even if you were to just look at the actual figures in these reports, any person who fights back against an unjust and unlawful fine has an almost 50/50 chance of beating it! And, with our information, we would suggest – and our testimonials back up that suggestion - that ratio would be considerably higher.
At the end of the day, the purpose of our e-book is to inform and educate motorists as to their rights and to inspire them to fight back against any and all unjust fines. We regularly get e-mails from new Members who are shocked at just how corrupt the current system is and they vow to fight every fine they receive. Our e-book details, step-by-step exactly how to do that and, armed with our information, you have the best possible chance of success.
Now, having said that, we really don’t mind if you use our information or someone else’s just as long as you fight back. You see, the most disturbing figure in those reports is the one that says that only 10% of people are fighting their fines. Now, we just covered the fact that nearly half of the people that fight their fines actually win but we need to change that 10% of people fighting their fines to 100%!
So, if you’re not yet a Member and you still wrongly believe that it is too hard to fight back or it costs too much etc. then please get our e-book now and find out how simple our system is to use. We have 25 pro-forma letters that you can simply edit and print out, we walk you through the entire court process from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out – should that even be necessary (in many instances you can defeat an unjust and unlawful fine without ever having to go to court at all) – and we show you how, even if you were to somehow lose in court, why it still wouldn’t cost you any more than the original fine and, in many cases, less.
Please, use the following link to become a Member yourself - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and then pass this e-mail onto everyone in your contacts list. These reports prove that just simply “fighting back” against an unjust and unlawful fine means you have an almost 50/50 chance of winning - armed with our information though, you can increase that chance dramatically.
We are clearly starting to make a serious impact now but it’s still not enough. Whilst we love to hear that these agencies had to give back or lose $6 million dollars in unjust and unfair fines they are still raking in one billion dollars a year. We need everyone to fight back against every ridiculous fine they receive. Only then we will be able to implement some of the truly life-saving and road toll reducing strategies that we outline on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
So, please pass this e-mail and this exciting news – that nearly half the people who fight back against their fines win – onto everyone you can and let’s put an end to the current corrupt system that we are being subjected to every day.
As always, our heartfelt thanks go out to all of you who send these reports through and who provide us with feedback on your own personal successes with our system. We would also like to send an extra special “Thank You” to all of you who have been handing out business cards and placing our bumper stickers on your cars and trucks and we welcome anyone who would like to help in this regard – or anyone who needs a top up – to please just e-mail us your postal address and let us know how many cards and/or bumper stickers you are after and we will send them straight out to you.
Let’s get this message out to every motorist in
Take care out there,
P.S. A couple of Members have suggested the new format of putting important words in bold rather than CAPITALS. Please let us know if you prefer this new format or the old one.

Is this the BEST testimonial ever - PROVING that ALL our information is correct?
In the two and a half odd years that we have been operating, we have seen/heard/read it all. Much of what we have researched has blown us away personally and we have also reported on the fact that police officers, lawyers and even judges have also been quite amazed at what our information reveals about the TRUTH in respect to traffic fines – not to mention how excited our Members are when they read all the ground-breaking information contained in our e-book!
We have statistics on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - that show that speed is only a factor in 5% off accidents and NOT the “speed is the biggest killer on our roads” crap that is shoved down our throat by the so-called “authorities” and media.
In fact, we even have a page, our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - that shows that speed cameras actually INCREASE accidents!
We have previously sent through updates on all manner of traffic fine related topics and all past ones can be read on our News/Updates page- http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News%7B47%7DUpdates.html – in case you missed any. For example, we have followed the demise of Justice Enfield (who clearly DIDN’T have our e-book), we have reported on the most successful revenue raising cameras around the country and we have sent through links to videos showing how inaccurate all speed detection devices are and how simple it is for them to provide false readings.
We have also sent through reports showing that most police officers no longer believe in the current traffic enforcement system and are sick of operating as glorified tax collectors themselves.
Our e-book itself details all manner of mind blowing details such as the fact that NO traffic laws in Australia have been correctly enacted, how any “Road Rules” publication is just that, a book and NOTHING more. Our e-book also covers more complex topics such as the flawed MD5 algorithm and why no photo from a camera can ever be used as evidence against you and why NO speed detection device in this country complies with Section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960 – as it MUST do, by law.
Our e-book also includes the actual pages from the training manuals of a number of the speed detection devices used in this country that explains, in detail, why they are so inaccurate and we also provide case history and replies from actual agencies PROVING that the information in our e-books WORKS in helping you avoid ridiculous and unjust fines from these unlawful devices.
In fact, we even have an entire web page dedicated to feedback from our Members who have successfully used our simple, step-by-step information to fight back against ridiculous and unjust fines and WIN! Please check out our Testimonials page if you haven’t yet done so - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
And now, we have just received an e-mail from one of our Members that is pure GOLD! This one testimonial covers virtually EVERYTHING that our system is about. Now, we don’t usually send a single testimonial out to all our Members, we simply add it to all the others on our web site and let people find it in their own time. This one, however, covered so many of the points that we raise and included actual conversations from not one, but TWO police officers - admitting that the current system does NOT work - that we just HAD to send it to you. Now, it’s kind of long for a testimonial so sit back, relax, read and enjoy:
Dear Aussie speeding fines folks,
I wanted to share the Wikipedia definition of the MD5 algorithm just for your reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5 how secure is a code that is so easily cracked? It's a joke!
On another topic, I had previously written to you to say I'd received a reply from the W.A. police in response to letter #1 (from your Ebook) I sent to them. They sent me an acknowledgment letter (which I shared with you a fortnight ago) saying the matter has been put on hold. I asked you then what I should do, and you replied promptly (as always) with the suggestion they were baffled by this correspondence and certainly agreed with me that they simply didn't know haw to handle it! You suggested I send the 2nd default letter when 28 days have elapsed, but read on!
Well, today I received a phone call from the very (probationary) police officer who booked me (incorrectly) for speeding (121Km/h in a 110Km/h zone). She conceded defeat by telling me the infringement was not going to be pursued as they had no way of showing the device was traceable under the National Measurement Act (Cth) and actually ADMITTED that the device's power supply (a CIGARETTE LIGHTER!) wasn't shielded and was "of concern to all police officers" . She went on to admit further that SO MANY readings were "questionable most likely due to input power fluctuations" and that fellow traffic enforcement officers (by a large majority) have DEMANDED a shielded power supply AND remedial training as to the proper use of these devices. So, a WIN for me and for Aussie Speeding Fines! Thank you!!!!
Seeing as I am waiting for a court hearing (October 14th for mention) to fight a multanova (a tripod mounted road-side speed camera used in W.A.), I decided to educate myself further in regard to the MD5 algorithm, as it will be only ONE of many avenues I shall use to add reasonable doubt in my defense. I'd written to request a brief of evidence and got it MINUS the photograph. When I wrote to the police again to ask for the photo, they rang me and said they were "having problems proving the photographs were 100% dependable and not subject to corruption", so they "weren't going to send them along with the brief of evidence anymore". I so wanted to get into a conversation with this officer (a sergeant who's name I took), but I bit my tongue and only replied with "with all due respect, anything you wish to discuss, be it a question or otherwise, must be done in writing". Well, his response was amazing! He said he was "going to have a long hard look at my case because the queue for traffic court hearings was nearing 12 months or more and positive prosecution outcomes are becoming increasingly difficult". Again, I said I wasn't prepared to comment over the phone, so he went on to say that he "was recently issued a speed camera infringement and is absolutely adamant he is innocent" and asked me if the Aussie Speeding Fines Ebook was any good because he intends to purchase one! I then KNEW that he was fishing, but I didn't let him hook me. All I said was I didn't know what he was talking about, so he went and gave me your website address! I NEVER let on that I was using your Ebook and said "thank you sir, I will go have a look when I get a chance".
So, there you have it, the police themselves admitting that the very same, specific problems that we details in our e-book (lack of shielded power supply) are problems that they are not only aware of, but sick of!
They further admit that these devices do NOT comply with the National Measurement Act and that they are also aware of the issues in regards to the photos from speed cameras and the flawed MD5 algorithm.
This Sergeant also admits that so many people are now successfully fighting back with our information that there is around a 12 month waiting time for court dates and the police themselves admit that they are losing more and more cases!
And finally, the fact that the police Sergeant asked OUR Member what he thought of the Aussie Speeding Fines system - because he wanted to get our e-book to get off an unjust fine he had received himself - really just sums it all up perfectly.
So, if like the Sergeant in this e-mail, you would like to arm yourself with our licence saving information, then please go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join up now.
And remember, this e-mail also proves that you do NOT always have to go to court to defeat an unjust fine, you CAN still win simply by using some of our 25 pro-forma letters that come with EVERY version of our e-book.
So, it has obviously taken us a bit of time but the momentum is REALLY starting to build now and testimonials such as this prove it beyond ALL doubt. So, if you’d like to do your bit to help spread the word and help inform and educate other motorists about the TRUTH about the current corrupt and unjust system then please forward this e-mail onto EVERYONE in your contacts list.
Also, we still have business cards and bumper stickers available – free of charge – to anyone that would like to help us get the message out there – that the motorists of this country have had enough of incorrect and unjust fines and the ridiculous revenue raising system that we are currently being subjected to. Please e-mail us your postal address and let us know how many stickers and/or cards you would like and we will send some out to you.
We would like to publicly thank the Member who sent this e-mail through and we would also, once again, like to pass on our continued thanks to ALL of you for your on-going support and for fighting back and making e-mails like this one a reality!
As always, take care out there,
August 18, 2009
Latest case precedents proving that our information WORKS!
Following on from our recent e-mail where we provided links to a number of reports of speed cameras being torched in the U.K. it now appears that people are resorting to the same tactics here in Australia. Please read the following story for further details: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25918908-29277,00.html
Again, we MUST point out that we do NOT condone this kind of behavior in any way. Having said that, we must obviously point out that if people are prepared to go to these lengths to get the message across - that the general motoring public no longer agrees with the speed camera policy -then perhaps it is well and truly time that the various state governments took notice of these kind of actions and did what we are asking them to do on our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - and remove all these illegal, revenue raising cameras from our roads!
Did we say "revenue raising" cameras and not "safety" cameras - as these agencies would have you believe? Yes, absolutely! And, although we can't imagine ANYONE reading these updates to doubt that for a minute, should you be passing these e-mails onto newcomers to our information then they may still be blinded by the media propaganda so let us remove those blinkers. Please read the following story and hopefully you will be as outraged by the figures mentioned as the people torching cameras in the story above!
http://www.maroondahjournal.com.au/news/local/news/general/locals-paying-for-eastlink-shortfall/1560391.aspx
It is statements like the 3rd paragraph that we have been fighting all along! If these cameras really ARE the deterrent that the media and the police would have us believe then how on earth do they BUDGET for a specific amount? According to their own lies, the presence of these cameras, and the fact that their locations are widely publicised, should mean that they receive NO revenue. BUT, the fact that these cameras are fundamentally FLAWED and will book you even if you always drive past them BELOW the speed limit is the key to uncovering their lies and deception!
We would urge you ALL to contact the author of this story and then write to the un-named "government spokesperson" who made the ridiculous closing comment and ask him/her to PROVE their wild and baseless claim that speed is a factor in over 30% of fatal crashes - especially given the statistics on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - which show that speed is only a factor in 5% of crashes!
So, now that you know the TRUTH, that these speed detection devices are ONLY there to raise revenue and have NOTHING to do with road safety, then what else can you do? Well, first and foremost, you can click the following link and become a Member - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and then you can fight back against these unjust and unlawful fines like some of our current Members have.
In the past few weeks, we have received a number of new testimonials - which we will be adding to our Testimonials page shortly - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html In the meantime, you may want to have a quick look over some of the latest case histories that our Members have sent us.
The first one is from a Member who used our information and went all the way to court, only to be told that he had no case to answer to because the readings from the devices - as we have said all along - are NOT admissible in court, if you present our information correctly:
"Dear Aussie speeding fines....I did it. I beat the bastards at their own game. I followed the E book, delayed my case for 11 months adjourned it twice. I defended myself all the way through and today had the ruling of "no case to answer". The judge said that "the notorious scientific devices" readings are not admissible in a court of law and their reading void. The officers estimation of my speed be it 50kmh, 50.0002kmh or 150kmh could not be legally verified. I was awarded $200 in compensation.
As far as I am concerned, until I read the E book I would have probably just given in. The only reason I decided to fight was because you guys told me I could, showed me not only how to do it but for minimum expense and a little effort.
Thank You so much and if there is anything I can supply you with re my case, paperwork etc, please feel free to ask and you shall receive ;-) Please let all our members know about this ruling if you possibly can and I will send in the letter I receive as and when I get one from the WA police ;-)"
The next one is from a Member who fought long and hard against a local council over a parking fine and they eventually dropped it when he elected to have the matter heard in court:
"Hi guys,
Just a quick note to let you know, and I hope you will let everyone else know -------"ANOTHER WINNER" Yes, we won the fight against another illegal parking ticket, using the 3 step process and the court election documents - YIPPEEE.
Please feel free to use the attached document from Stonnington Council to tell people don't give up - they have tried everything to get me to pay, but the court letter did the trick.
I am still fighting with Victoria Police over a red light camera infringement and I have just received the Infringments Court docs today, I have already posted the court election docs with them (registered of course) and I will keep you informed on that one as well.
Keep going guys - we will beat the bastards yet!"
This is the reply from Stonnington City Council upon receipt of our court election letter:
"Thank you for your Court application regarding the above ticket issued by the City of Stonnington.
The Prosecution's officer has re-examined your case and at their discretion, has decided not to proceed with any Court action against this matter.
The matter is now finalised and no further action is required on your behalf."
And, this 3rd letter is from a Member who successfully beat the Queensland Police. Now, for those of you not living in Queensland, it is worth noting that QLD Police go to GREAT lengths to scare people off from going to court. They threaten people with all kinds of ridiculous and un-enforceable fees and additional costs etc.
The following letter shows that it is ALL rubbish and even the supposedly "un-beatable" Queensland Police can also be COMPREHENSIVELY beaten using our information. This letter is even more powerful considering the huge excess of speed concerned (169 in a 110 zone) - which our Member was obviously NOT doing. It goes to show just how far out their so-called "accurate scientific devices" really can be:
"Hi Guys,
I'm happy to say I won my case re Speeding fine in Qld, (169km in a 110km zone, Hire Car).
Thank you for your advice.
In the end the case crumbled as we found that the Queensland Police had not correctly issued the summons upon me.
The magistrate found that under the State Penalty Enforcement Act, section 116. (1) (a) (What is required to accompany summons) and 119. (3), 121. (2) (Notice to Accompany Summons) the summons was issued without notification in some way given to me prior to the summons or accompanying the summons.
Qld Police argued that the Stat Dec from the Hire Car Company was sufficient under some section of the Transport (Road Use Management) Act 1995. Qld Police mentioned that the Transport Management Act said if there was inconsistencies with the two said acts then the T.M.A would prevail.
Magistrate begged to differ and went through to explain to the police that the two Acts are meant to be read in addition to each other or overplayed rather than being subject to inconsistencies and favouring one. They were to be read in conjunction with one another.
Therefore it was found that the summons was not issued correctly and there was no case to answer. So I didn't even get to submit my defence."
Okay, so know you know that our information really DOES work, despite what certain other websites out there suggest and you now know that you really DO need to become a Member and you really DO need to share this information with EVERYONE you know who drives on our roads. The next thing to ensure is that you get our information in a TIMELY manner.
We still receive way too many e-mails from people that say things like "Oh, if only I knew about your information a week ago, a month ago, a year ago etc. then ......"The best time to get our information is BEFORE you get a fine! It is always a great feeling to fight back against a fine that you KNOW you didn't commit and win but how much simpler is it to use our information - as the Member below did - and avoid all the time, hassle and effort of fighting a fine when, by simply using our information at the time of being pulled over, you can avoid the fine altogether!
"G'Day All,
Just thought a quick note of appreciation was in order for all you hard work and effort both in your book and online.
Having purchased your e-book, I was delighted to be pulled over for speeding in the truck the other day. As the police approached the cab I was thinking about the info in the e-book.
I almost cracked up laughing when they asked me why I was doing 128km in a 100km zone. It was so funny because the truck is a new Volvo and has a speed limit of 101km per hour. This is a factory standard software application that cannot be modified.
A long annoying debate ensued and they eventually left me alone, but as they went to walk away they couldn't help but to say.....just slow it down ok!!"
So, there you have it. Our information works EXACTLY as we have said it does for well over 2 years now. The fact that we have in excess of 10,000 Members and Subscribers to our service and simply the fact that we are still here helping Members EVERY day should be proof enough of that.
So, please help spread the word and put an end to the ridiculous revenue raising system that we all been subjected to for far too long now.
Speaking of which, we have just had a new batch of business cards and bumper stickers made up so if you would like us to send you some at no charge then please e-mail us your address and let us know how many bumper stickers and/or business cards you would like and we will send them out your way.
Thanks again for all your continued support and know that we TRULY are making a difference out there now!
As always, stay safe out there,
August 7, 2009
More info from Dr Brittain and bumper stickers are now ready
Well, in case you haven't seen our previous e-mails confirming that NO speed detection device currently in use in Australia conforms to Section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth), we have further information from Dr Brittain below. In the meantime, we would suggest taking a look over our News/Updates page at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News-%26amp%3B-Updates.html to read over some of the last e-mails we sent on this subject, as well as bringing yourself up to speed with all previous updates.
Another one of our Members has written to Dr Brittain regarding the fact that no speed detection device either conforms to the above-mentioned Act, nor does any device have any exemption from its Federal requirements to comply with this Act. Please see the e-mail below for further details:
Dear Mr ????,
I refer to our phone conversation of today and your letter of 23 May 2009.Further to the questions you raise I would make the following responses:
1.No vehicle-speed measuring devices are exempt from the provisions of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth) (the Act) including 'any of the Gatsometer brand/make radar speed measuring devices'.
2. On the basis of my answer to 1) above the enquiry as to the reason(s) for exemption is otiose.
3. On the basis of my answer to 1) above the enquiry as to where an exemption certificate may be obtained is also otiose. Further, there are no facilities in the above legislation or any other legislation that I am aware of for the issue of such certificate of exemption (however described).
4. The exemptions detailed in your letter are exemptions to the trade measurement provisions of the Act. These came from the exemptions in the current State and Territory Uniform Trade Measurement Legislation which will become part of the Act commencing from 1 July 2009 to facilitate the transfer of responsibility for trade measurement from the States and Territories to the Commonwealth from 1 July 2010.They are currently listed in the notes at the end of the Act for information.
By way of further background to the Act I would make the following points:
5. The Act facilitates the national technical infrastructure. This facilitates Australian compliance with its international treaty obligation wrt measurement and enables stakeholders to make measurements which are traceable to the standards of measurement maintained by the Commonwealth acting through the NMI. These standards enable measurements in terms the Australian legal units of measurement to be realised and promulgated.
6. Whilst the Act provides the means of making legally traceable measurements as detailed above it does not presently mandate their use other than for demonstrating traceability of measurements made for a legal purpose when the necessity arises.
This communication is provided entirely without prejudice and nothing it constitutes legal advice either express or implied.
I trust that the above information satisfies your enquiry.
Yours sincerely

Now, to save Dr Brittain from receiving another thousand or so e-mails and letters from our current database of Subscribers and Members - which now exceeds 10,000 people in the two and a half years that we have been operating - we would instead remind you of the upcoming Federal case being run by Darryl O'Brian and the Community Law Resource Group. Again, as mentioned in previous update e-mails - which can be re-visited on our News/Updates page - Darryl is organising for ALL speed measuring devices to be removed from service until they comply with the National Measurement Act - something that can't obviously be done as they don't actually have the specifications to correctly test and certify these devices against.
Darryl has asked us to remind you that Dr Brittain will actually be a witness in this upcoming case and has asked us to provide you with the following information:
DONATIONS REQUIRED TO FUND A FEDERAL COURT HEARING TO BRING SPEED DETECTING DEVICES IN ALIGNMENT WITH COMMONWEALTH LAW.
This is in your interest whether you support speed detecting devices or not.
We as a society expect all measuring instruments to comply with a strict set of standards so we can be assured fairness in all walks of life. This is an underlying principle that has been inherited for as long as man has walked this earth and conducted business with his or her neighbour.
NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG YOUR CONTRIBUTION EVERY CENT COUNTS PLEASE HELP US SO WE CAN HELP YOU.

So please, if you are able to assist Darryl in any way, please don't hesitate to contact him via his website at www.communitylawresourcegroup.info/ or on 0407 341 366
And should you still be in ANY doubt as to why all speed detection devices need to be removed from our roads, especially speed cameras, then we would urge you to visit our on-line petition page to learn how speed cameras actually INCREASE accidents - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
As most of you would be well aware, these devices are nothing more than revenue raising instruments and there was yet another story in the media recently about a double camera set up in Sydney and the speed limit was conveniently reduced by 10 km/h.
You can read this story for yourself below and you will note that there are NO figures provided that indicate ANY reduction in the road toll as a result of the introduction of this camera or the decrease in the speed limit yet there are some VERY clear figures in respect to the amount of revenue it is raising.
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/two-speed-cameras-net-7-million-a-year-for-nsw-government/story-e6freuzr-122575609434
Please pass this onto to anyone and everyone you know who drives on our roads because it really is time for the motoring public to start fighting back and sending a clear message that we will no longer simply sit by and allow the government to continue robbing us of our hard earned money under the completely FALSE guise of "road safety".
Speaking of helping fight back, we know it has been a while but our bumper stickers are FINALLY ready and we will be picking them up first thing next week. So if you would like to place a sticker on your car, truck, trailer etc. then please e-mail us your postal address and the number of stickers you are after and we will send them out for you at no charge first thing next week.
We have also just had a another run of business cards made up so if you haven't yet received business cards from us and would like to help spread the word or if you need a top up, then please e-mail us your postal address and we will send a bunch your way.
And finally, we provided links to a number of videos in our recent e-mail update that showed how easy it was to CREATE a FALSE reading from a hand held device such as radar or laser - again, check our News/Updates page in case you missed these e-mails. We have been sent yet another video by one of our Members - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulmK6Iz0x58 - that shows a speed detection expert being interviewed and explaining in DETAIL how flawed the speed detection readings from hand held devices are - which, of course, is something that we have said all along in our e-book, as well as explaining exactly how to fight back against these false, unjust and ridiculous fines.
It is interesting that even the manufacturer's representative acknowledges the possibility of errors and refers to the exact user manuals that we provide to all Members in our e-book.
The best bit is the short video clip that is shown at the end and they admit the figures are all wrong yet they also state that this is the same video footage they show in court to convict people. Keep in mind that a photo taken from a speed camera at any given instant works in EXACTLY the same way. So, if any agency says that they have a photo or video footage of you speeding then you can simply refer to this video and ask them to explain it!
So, if you're not yet a Member then please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and join up now and, once again, we would urge you to pass this onto EVERYONE in your Contacts list to we can finally put an end to this ineffective and corrupt revenue raising system! Also, please read over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - so that you FULLY understand what we are trying to achieve by this website and our e-book.
Thanks again to all of you for your continued support and for having the courage to fight back and, as always, stay safe out there.

Some info on what NOT to do!
In our last mailout, we gave you a few ideas of what you could do to help remove the current regime of unjust and unlawful speed detection devices from our roads.
This week, we want to share with a few ideas of what NOT to do.
Firstly, we were sent the following article by one of our Members - http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25785818-29277,00.html It explains how speed camera operators are being attacked in their cars.
Now, this is not the first time we have reported such stories and we doubt it will be the last. Of course, we don't, in any way, condone this sort of action but it clearly begs the question "Why are people SO frustrated that they would go to such extremes?" And, more importantly, given that the government agencies were voted in by "us", to do OUR bidding, why are they totally ignoring the will of the people and bringing in MORE of these devices?
Remember, the police, the politicians and the RTA's etc are all there to serve "us", we the people. Unfortunately, it seems as though "we the people", as well as the agencies concerned, have long forgotten this simple fact. Clearly, the general motoring population no longer believes in the speed camera program anymore and it must be stopped.
For those who haven't yet seen it or signed it, we have our on-line petition to remove all speed cameras from service in this country - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
But, these are only the initial steps and the state governments of this country and their minions should be put on notice that if they don't take heed of our more subtle approaches then things may get out of hand - as they have clearly done in the U.K.
Motorists are so fed up in the U.K. that people have united and taken things into their own hands and the results can be seen in the following link: http://www.speedcam.co.uk/gatso2a.htm
It's a wonder with that many cameras being destroyed that there are any left in service at all - perhaps that was the point!
Now, we obviously do NOT condone this type of behavior in any way, shape or form. However, the time has well and truly come for the governments to be reminded that they work for us, NOT the other way around and we will no longer tolerate being blackmailed and extorted to the tune of ONE BILLION DOLLARS a year by an unjust, unlawful and completely INEFFECTIVE system that does all but NOTHING to reduce the road toll.
And, as is unfortunately more often the than not the case in life, the simplest way to get your message across is through someone's hip pocket. That is precisely why we created our e-book, to show you step-by-step how to fight back and NEVER pay an unjust and unlawful traffic fine again. Let's get together and send a UNITED message to these agencies that we will no longer be paying these ridiculous fines and we will do whatever is necessary - send letters, clog up the court system, overwhelm the administration and ultimately, send NO more money to these agencies and FORCE them into taking notice of our message!
So, if you're not yet a member or you know someone who hasn't yet joined then please go to our Memberships page at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and join up NOW.
Our cause is gaining momentum more and more each day. Stories like the ones outlined in this e-mail are becoming more and more frequent and the general population is now making it crystal CLEAR that they have now had ENOUGH!
So, please look over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html -and arm yourself with the truth about the current ineffective system and the ideas and strategies that we would like to see implemented instead that truly will make our roads a safer place to be for ALL Australians.
Finally, we wrote to you last week and informed you of Darryl O'Bryan and the Community Law Resource Group's Federal Court Case to force all speed detection devices to be properly certified - which they can't be - and a number of you have written to us pledging your support for Darryl and his upcoming case.
We have spoken to Darryl and he has confirmed that the case is being run by a well respected Barrister and that all funds donated will be held in the Barrister's trust fund for use as required as the case progresses. So, this is a VERY worthy cause it is being professionally run so we would urge you all to get in contact with Darryl via the details below and do what you can to support him. He can be contacted via his website www.communitylawresourcegroup.info/ or by phone 0407 341 366. If any of you missed last week's e-mail with the full details of the case, please let us know and we will forward a copy to you.
Speaking of which, a number of Members have mentioned that they missed a few of our e-mail updates here and there so we are in the process of putting all these update e-mails back on-line again so you can access them whenever you need to. We are still a few days away from completing the process so please check back at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/News-%26amp%3B-Updates.html regularly to ensure that you are kept up to date. This way, if you have missed any of our e-mails or if you have only recently joined our site then you can ensure that you are kept well informed as new information comes to light. This is also a great link to send to family, friends and colleagues to show them what we are doing and to also demonstrate the regular contact we have and the efforts we go to, to provide as much FREE information as we can.
As always, we appreciate your on-going support and please, stay safe out there!

What you can do NOW to help make a difference
Okay, enough is now SERIOUSLY enough. It is time to take action NOW before we wake up and find ourselves well and truly in the grip of a complete Police State!
Now, whether you live in Victoria or not, it would be hard to have missed hearing something about the ridiculous number of new speed cameras they are about to roll out across the state. And, don't for one minute think that this rollout will be limited to Victoria because, we can all but guarantee that other states will follow suit shortly. Remember, Victoria is the guinea pig state with the lowest speed tolerances across the country - they see what they can milk the motorists of Victoria for and what they can get away with there and then implement similar systems in other states.
In case you somehow missed it and are not yet up to date with what's in store, please read the following article from Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,25766718-2862,00.html
Now, we have said it a hundred times before but we'll say it again. If these ridiculous cameras actually do what the media and police claim - which is cause people to slow down and therefore supposedly reduce the road toll then how exactly is it that they already know how much money they are going to earn from these unjust and unlawful devices? It's right there in the heading of the story!
The fact is that cameras do NOT reduce the road toll and, if you haven't read it for yourself yet, please go to our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html and read the articles that prove that these cameras actually INCREASE accidents!
If you want even FURTHER proof of this, just think for a moment how many additional speed cameras have been put into service in NSW over the past 12 months and have a look at their road toll figures in the following link - http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/community_issues/road_safety
Now, we have had similar statistics on our Vision for the Future page for quite some time now and a couple of Members have noted that the links no longer worked. So, we have now updated those broken links and you can see for yourself the road toll statistics in your state and you will note that the road toll has NOT dropped significantly since the introduction of these "revenue raising" devices as the media and so-called "authorities" would have us believe. Please see the page below: http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
Please, just go back to the Herald Sun story and read it again - carefully. Twice they state that they "hope" it will reduce the road toll, yet they are VERY precise with how much extra revenue they will raise. Well, not if we have anything to do about it!
Our Members have been successfully fighting back against these ridiculous fines for well over 2 years now so, if you're not yet a Member then clearly NOW is the time to join because you can be all but guaranteed that you WILL receive an unjust and unlawful fine with all the new cameras and increased camera hours they have in store for you. Please visit our Memberships page for further details - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
On a side note, they very kindly inform us in that article that they will be "upgrading 22 cameras to more efficient digital cameras". Now, anyone who has read our e-book understands the relevance of the flawed MD5 algorithm and how this is an absolute GIFT in respect to fighting these particular fines.
So, who would like to put some money on the table here and now that says that the road toll will NOT be significantly decreased over the next 6 months and, when the end of year figures come out the ONLY thing that will be significant is the additional revenue they have raised from these unjust and unlawful devices?
Better still, we received an e-mail from Darryl O'Bryan of the Community Law Resource Group. Now, like most Australian motorists, Darryl and his group have finally had enough of being ripped off by these ridiculous and ineffective cameras and he has decided to get out there and really DO something about it. So, please take a moment to read Darryl's e-mail below and please support him and his group in ANY way you can.
"We being the Community Law Resource Group are planning an application into the Federal Court of Australia, asking the court to declare that the State Police Forces, Australia wide, bring all their speed detecting devices into the National Measurement Institute, which is located in each capital city, for certification and that all operators of these devices be accordingly trained in the use of these devices according to Commonwealth law being the National Measurements Act 1960 (Cth).
This sort of action costs money and we are asking for people to contribute to the legal costs. We will be submitting all collected money into a trust account under the control of the Barrister who will be representing the case. We have an adequate amount of evidence and witnesses to bring this case into the courts so it will not be a waste of court time.
We need generous contributions and all contributors will have upon registration a good chance on our expected success on a full refund at the conclusion of the matter with an outlook to force the States to comply with Commonwealth law.
All contributors please log onto www.communitylawresourcegroup.info/ with your contact details so we can organise payment methods and a valid receipt. If you cannot logon to the website then please ring the chairman of the Community Law Resource Group, Darryl O'Bryan on 0407 341 366.
Evil Prevails when Good People do nothing."
Now, it is worth noting that one of the witnesses that Darryl and his group will be calling is Dr Britain, who many of you have e-mailed and/or contacted since he confirmed what we have been saying all along - that no speed detection device in Australia is legal.
Some of you may be thinking that this action seems somewhat self-defeating because, if Darryl and his group won then all the devices would eventually be certified and then we couldn't fight them anymore. But, as we have explained all along in our e-book, the problem is that they don't actually have the figures they need to calibrate them in accordance with the law and that is why they have never received certification to date and NEVER will.
So, whilst we're not affiliated with Darryl and his group, nor we do we receive anything for passing this on, we are aware of their work and they come HIGHLY recommended so please do WHATEVER you can to help and support them. If every person donated the equivalent of one speeding fine - which they could easily avoid paying with the information contained in our e-book - then we could have this whole mess sorted out before the end of the year.
And finally, due to the overwhelming support we have had from our Members, we have just had a new batch of business cards printed up so if anyone would like to hand out some cards for us or if you need a top up, please e-mail us and let us know.
And just quickly, on the topic of e-mails, please understand that we now have in excess of 10,000 Members and Subscribers so each time we send out one of these e-mail updates, we get totally SWAMPED with replies. So, please be patient as it can sometimes take us a few days to get back to everyone.
So thanks again for your continued support and we look forward to receiving some positive feedback from Darryl that you have all pitched in to help remove these ridiculous devices from our roads and ensure that we never have to read an article like that again.
As always, stay safe out there!

It’s time to see the truth with your own eyes
We are often asked about the accuracy of speed detection devices and how the police get away with using them if they are as inaccurate as we say they are. We always answer these questions and direct people to the relevant pages of the police training manuals which we provide in our e-book, so they can read the FACTS for themselves.
However, thanks to one of our Members passing it on, we can now actually direct you to a very short video that you can watch and actually SEE for yourselves much of what we explain in our e-book, in relation to these particular devices.
So, please take just 90 seconds to view the following video clip and, once you do, you will never doubt the validity of our information again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyMjtq3IodU
This video clearly shows that these devices can easily read completely FICTITIOUS speeds and, in fact, they way the police are trained to use these devices means that incorrect readings are almost inevitable.
Remember, our e-book gives you the EXACT wording from the ACTUAL training manuals themselves so you know PRECISELY how to question police in respect to these errors.
So, if you're not yet a Member or you know someone who is not yet a Member, please urge them to go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - now and join so that they have all the information they need to defeat any and all unjust and unlawful traffic fines, including ones from hand held speed detection devices such as this.
Now, if you have a little more time, there are some other similar videos that are also worth watching, specifically this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHSBo3rwyFU&feature=related
This one is the Kustom Pro Laser III which is supposedly the most ACCURATE laser speed detection device currently on the market. Now, if the most accurate device shows a completely FALSE speed reading with NO vehicle around than what hope do the motorists of this country have against LESS accurate fixed speed cameras and the like?
The police will often testify - in cases involving these devices - that they heard a solid tone for 3 seconds and checked the speed and the speed was X and therefore they concluded that your vehicle was traveling at X speed and therefore you are guilty. Yet, this video shows a solid tone for 3 seconds and a reading of 25mph despite it being a completely EMPTY road!
Now, before you even ask, NO, you will not be able to show these videos in court to help make your case. What you CAN do though, is to ask the officer - under oath - if he is aware of these videos? Can he deny the existence of them? Can he deny that these false readings are possible?
If he tries to deny that then you can make a special request of the court to admit those videos as evidence but, if he doesn't deny them then you automatically have grounds to have the case dismissed based on reasonable doubt.
The same principle would apply to a speed camera fine. You would ask the same questions of the camera operator and then simply state that if the most accurate devices - the ProLaser III devices - have these inherent errors and we know that speed cameras actually have a higher tolerance for error, then once again, the case should be quickly dismissed.
More than anything, these videos should once and for all SILENCE those well-intentioned people who so WRONGLY believe that if you just drive around BELOW the speed limit then you are safe. Remember, that first video showed a speed reading of 88 MILES per hour on a completely EMPTY road!
The other key point to remember here is this doesn't even take into account the ADDITIONAL factors for error such as interference. These videos ONLY deal with the way these devices are used. They also don't deal with the fact that these devices don't have the requisite NSC certification and they don't comply with the National Measurements Act, which are further important legal factors. Now that you can see for yourselves the inherent problems these devices have you can begin to understand why, not only do they not have the requisite certification and compliance but why they can NEVER have it!
So, when you factor in the other possibilities for error - such as interference - you can understand why we say that these devices are fundamentally FLAWED and only get it right every now and again, as opposed to what most people believe, which is the other way around.
Which reminds us, we are sadly lacking in the area of signatures on our on-line petition to have all speed cameras removed from Australian roads so, if you haven't yet signed or, if you know someone who hasn't yet signed, please go to the link below and add your signature: http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
And finally, should you have ANY doubts as to the effectiveness of our information or strategies for defeating ALL ineffective, unjust and unlawful traffic fines, please read over our Testimonials page and you will find stories from Members in every state who have effectively used our information to fight back against these ridiculous fines and WIN! http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
As always, thanks again for your continued support and stay safe out there!

Why you need our information NOW more than ever before
So, you don't think you need our information because you obey all the laws and never do anything wrong. Well, have we got some news for you!
Following on from the e-mail we sent a few weeks back, where we explained that the Victorian government was making around $400 million a year from traffic fine revenue, we were provided with a copy of the actual figures from the annual report itself.
If you download the following file - http://www.budget.vic.gov.au/CA25755B0004CE3B/WebObj/BP4_complete/$File/BP4_complete.pdf - and go to "Table 4.7 - Other Current Revenue" on page 290 you will see that total revenue from fines - just in Victoria alone - was $470 million.
Now just think about this for a moment. The population of Victoria is just over 5 million people. Obviously, not all of this revenue is just from traffic fines but then again, not every single person on Australia gets a fine of any type. So, just to work with averages for just a minute, that would equate to roughly $94 per person.
So, if are of driving age then you could safely assume that your $94 would come from a traffic fine. And, the reality is that most fines would be issued to people in the 18 - 55 bracket so your "fine quota" would likely be well in excess of $94. But, keep in mind, that figure is PER YEAR.
In fact, the same table estimates an increase of 7.6% in revenue from fines, equating to a total of $506 million dollars next year. This brings your "fine quota" up to around $100 PER YEAR. Remember, our e-book costs only $67 and you get free updates for LIFE, to help you fight any unjust and unlawful fine that you should receive EVER again! And, whilst our information is specifically targeted towards traffic fines, many of our Members have reported that they have successfully used or information to defeat many other types of unjust and unlawful fines too - such as failing to wear a bike helmet etc. (things that, like traffic fines, also harm and deprive no-one of anything at all and can't possibly be considered a crime as there is NO victim).
But, here's the kicker - fines are supposedly issued to help "educate" people to do the "right" thing. Now, either we're a population of complete dumb-asses and slow learners that insist on constantly doing the "wrong" thing OR there is a MAJOR problem with the current system of "fines" that needs to be drastically over-hauled!
After all, if these fines were "doing their job" then there would fewer fines issued each year as people "learnt their lesson" and, in respect to traffic fines, this would also mean that the road toll was going down each year. NEITHER of these things are happening.
Speaking of fines, after over 2 years helping thousands of Australians avoid unjust and unlawful traffic fines, we have decided to implement our own "fine" system! We're only half joking here but seriously, if we get another e-mail along the following lines, we're going to scream: "Hi Team, I got pulled over doing ..........Can the Police really do that?"
Now, it makes absolutely NO difference what you got pulled over for and it makes no difference what the Police did, you are asking the WRONG question! Clearly, the question is NOT "Can they do that?" - they already DID!!!! The question is, do you have a defence against it? Now, the answer to that question is always "definitely!"
So please, we are happy to answer any questions you might have but, to help us keep our sanity, please do us a huge favour and phrase the question correctly: "Hi Team, I got pulled over doing ....... and the Police did .......... In your opinion, what is my best defence against this?"
This will not only help us keep our sanity but, more importantly, it will help you start thinking correctly. You see, many motorists still have the fundamental belief that the Police are generally out there doing the right thing and only make a mistake every now and again - this is simply NOT true. The Police will do anything in their power and will go to extraordinary lengths to issue fines - they don't care what the consequences are because they don't have to face them!
Now, obviously, this is not ALL police but it IS almost ALL traffic cops. Again, we're not even blaming them personally - although a lot of them are simply out there on a huge ego trip. The problem is that they have been brain washed by "the system" into believing that they are actually doing the right thing.
Now, some of these issues can be as simple as not using a device correctly or using it in the wrong location and, as we have found out in court many times, this is because these Police officers have NOT been trained on the correct procedures for use of these devices. In fact, we can all but guarantee that, the Members of our website are more up to date with the procedures and use manuals than most Police officers out there because we provide all the relevant section of these manuals in our e-book and most of our Members review them every time they get a ticket to see what the officer did wrong in their particular case.
Police officers, on the other hand, read these guidelines ONCE, if at all, and then never review them again for their whole careers!
Now, we want to point out right here that this is NOT some kind of slur campaign on the police. Most police officers do a great job, traffic cops, however, are generally the exception and again, this is usually because they have been brainwashed into believing that "Speed Kills" and all the other crap just as we are. The difference is that it is drummed into them at work as well as at home on the TV.
We have been approached by a number of senior Police officers and none of them have been able to negate the statistics on our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - which show that speed is only a factor in just 5% of accidents.
We have even had a number of Police officers sign our on-line petition to have all cameras removed - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - because they know that it is a strong police presence and booking motorists for HONESTLY doing the wrong thing that will actually change behavior, as opposed to random fines they have no bearing on actually doing the "wrong" thing.
We are finding that a lot more Police officers are now becoming enlightened to the truth though and this was highlighted in the recent Herald Sun report that we forwarded on a few months back where the majority of Police stated that they believed that cameras were just about revenue raising. In fact, there was a story in WA recently where the Police, in their attempt to earn more money themselves, of course, actually took action and placed their cars in front on speed camera to warn motorists about them.
http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuId=77&ContentID=145833 if you read this story you will see what they did in order to "send a message to the government". Now, this brings up a VERY interesting point, the Police obviously believe that they can send a message to the government by reducing their income from speed cameras - by warning motorists in advance.
Now, this is a very small scale version of what we are trying to achieve ourselves, in just one area of the country. What we are trying to do though is send a MASSIVE message to the government! We are encouraging EVERY single motorist in the country to object to, by not paying, EVERY single unjust and unlawful traffic fine that they receive. Now, if the Police can make an impact in WA by simply warning motorists of up-coming speed cameras then SURELY we can get a result by ensuring that NO Australian motorist pays an unjust and unlawful traffic fine ever again!
So, we urge you ALL to follow the steps in our e-book to fight back against ALL unjust and unlawful traffic fines and send a UNITED message that the motorists of Australia have HAD ENOUGH and they want to see strategies and systems implemented that really will REDUCE the road toll.
If you haven't yet done so, please read over our Vision for the Future page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - to find out what some of these more effective strategies are and also our on-line petition page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html - to learn why the current strategies simply aren't working.
Obviously, if you are not yet a Member then we would urge you to go to the following page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and get our e-book BEFORE you receive a fine so that you are up to date with all the latest strategies for fighting back against the current corrupt and ineffective system.
Finally, we appreciate your continued support and we still have business cards available if anyone would like some to hand out. We hope to have the bumper stickers finalised in the very near future as well and we will let everyone know when they are available.
As always, take care out there and stay safe on our roads!

Major Breakthrough – Proof that you get fined even if you have done NOTHING wrong!
We were just about to send out our latest update but we had to put it on hold due to the following breakthrough story. Yes, it's THAT important that we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to get this e-mail out to you all.
If you haven't yet seen it, please click the link below and select the 8th video entitled "Speed camera Justice" to view the story that aired on A Current Affair on Monday evening: http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-au&brand=ninemsn&tab=m164
This story is EXTREMELY important because it proves what we have been saying ALL along - these agencies will send a fine to EVERY car in a particular photo even if there is NO way that car was speeding!
This is VITAL information as it proves, once and for all, that NO-ONE is safe from these unjust and unlawful fines - even if you ALWAYS drive well BELOW the speed limit. This report proves that, as long as you drive on our roads with other cars then you WILL eventually receive an unjust and unlawful fine, it is just a matter of WHEN.
If you look at the photos that Scott Copper shows the interviewer you will see that vehicles other than the one that was issued the fine have clearly set off the camera yet these agencies send a fine to EVERY vehicle they can identify in any given shot.
Not only that, but all of these photos are from dual carriage roads (one lane each way) so, extrapolate that out to 3 and 4 lane freeways and you will understand why the motorists in this country and handing over ONE BILLION dollars a year that they do NOT need to and why many INNOCENT motorists are on the verge of losing their licences and, quite possibly, their livelihoods! The truth of the matter is that this is all so easily avoidable if you are armed with the right information.
Please, if you only ever forward ONE e-mail of ours, we urge you to please pass this one onto EVERY person you know who drives in this country!
Our e-book has ALL the information you need to fight these unjust and unlawful fines so if you are not yet a Member then please go to our Memberships page below and join up now: http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
Now, we're not aware of the full situation in respect to the particular lady interviewed but we do not believe that she is a Member of ours so please, do NOT be frightened off by the fact that she had to attend so many court cases and paid $2,000. Whilst we applaud her for standing up for her rights and fighting back, it appears as though did NOT use our information and made things MUCH harder for herself than they needed to be. She probably paid a lawyer to assist her and our e-book shows you step-by-step precisely how to fight these fines without spending a cent on legal fees and you will NOT need to go to court 5 times either.
In fact, you can read the MANY Testimonials from Members who have successfully fought these types of fines very simply by going to our Testimonials page below: http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
We receive many e-mails from people who try and tell us that "If you just obey the speed limit then you have nothing to worry about". The fact that cameras were turned off in Victoria not that long ago and tens of millions of dollars worth of fines were dropped proves that this is simply NOT true! This story, however, should leave you in NO doubt what-so-ever as to the strategies used by these unscrupulous agencies to simply RAISE REVENUE.
Also, if you have not yet done so, please go to our on-line petition page below which explains how these cameras actually INCREASE accidents. We MUST have these cameras removed from service so that MULTIPLE innocent drivers can STOP receiving fines when they have done NOTHING wrong: http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
Now, we are still working on another important mail-out but we just HAD to get this information out to all of you FIRST.
So, we'll end this one here and again, we urge you to please pass this short e-mail onto EVERYONE you know who drives in this country as the motorists out there NEED to know what is going on and they need to be educated, informed and armed with the information to beat these ridiculous and ineffective fines.
As always, stay safe out there,
June 5, 2009
Time for some cold, hard speeding fine FACTS!
Firstly, we would like to clear up a few points from last week's e-mail. Whilst the whole point of sending you that e-mail was to confirm that all speed detection devices MUST conform to Section 10 of the National Measurement Act 1960 - and this was now confirmed by an independent expert in that field - this information is NOT new. Any of you who have read our e-book will know that we provide ALL the evidence you need to introduce this into court anyway - without using that e-mail.
Our e-book includes actual case history from the Wildlife and Fisheries case in the WA Supreme Court as well as an explanation of the National Measurement Act 1960 itself - direct from the National Standards Commission and also papers on the subject and reference materials from Dr Graham Harvey.
We have been getting questions from a number of people asking us "Can we use Dr Brittain's e-mail in court?" The answer is "No, you can't." By all means write to him yourself and ask a similar question and request the response in writing otherwise, use this information as it was intended, simply to further prove what we have said all along about this Act and it's relevance, despite numerous so-called "authorities" trying to suggest that it is irrelevant or has been tested and failed. You can contact the National Measurement Institute via the following link: http://www.measurement.gov.au/index.cfm?event=object.showIndexPage&objectID=80BD571B-BCD6-81AC-1AAACCB0300C01CD and just ask for Dr Brittain.
In the meantime, please refer to Chapter 6 of the e-book as this explains EXACTLY how this information is relevant, how to introduce it into court and why all devices MUST comply. Furthermore, we are aware that some agencies in some states are suggesting that they actually HAVE certification that meets Section 10. This is plain and simply NOT true as there is not a single speed detection device currently in use in Australia that carries the requisite NSC number (National Standards Commission) and, in fact, certificates can't actually be issued because the criteria for the devices to measure speed hasn't been arrived at yet and they can't test or certify the apparatus because the equipment to test them hasn't been devised either.
So, why all this focus by the agencies on trying to deceive the public into believing that these devices either comply, or don't need to comply, and we should all just "pay up"? Because, as we have said MANY times before, this is a BILLION dollar a year industry that is designed to fleece money from the innocent motorists of this country and funnel it into the government coffers.
In fact, if you look up the Road safety Act 1986 Section 1 (d) in Victoria - every other State has a similar section - it actually states that one of the purposes of the Act is; "To ensure the equitable distribution within the community of the costs of road use." Unfortunately, as we have also explained many times before that is NOT where the money from traffic fines goes, it simply goes back into buying more cameras to steal more money from innocent drivers!
This latest story from The Age newspaper in Melbourne shows just how much this is GROWING. In Victoria alone 4.2 million infringement notices were issued. At an average of $100 a ticket that is over $400 million in just Victoria alone!!! Please see the full story below: http://www.theage.com.au/national/want-to-beat-a-fine-join-the-police-force-20090604-bwhd.html
If you want to read the full Victorian Government report for yourself you can download it via the following link: http://www.audit.vic.gov.au/reports__publications/reports_by_year/2009/20090603_infringement.aspx and select the 4th option down the bottom - download pdf.
Now, we have said all along that whilst, at a stretch, you MIGHT be able to attribute speeding to something, possibly, maybe related to safety - although the statistics on our Vision for the Future page would suggest otherwise - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - parking fines could never in a million years be linked to anything to do with safety. Which, of course, is why so many police officers are "let off" these fines whilst the other poor motorists, who don't have our information and don't know any better, just continue to blindly pay them.
If you are not yet one of our informed and educated motorists, please go to our Memberships page and join up now so that you too can avoid these ridiculous, unjust and ineffective fines, just like the police do - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
Okay, moving on. Many of you have complained to us about those ridiculous TAC ads "Pictures of you" and the like. In fact, we have asked people to write into Consumer Affairs expressing their concern about those clearly mis-leading ads. It is ridiculous that agencies like Consumer Affairs can complain about our website, suggesting that our information doesn't do what we say it does, despite the hundreds of Testimonials to the contrary - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - yet they will allow the TAC to run ads with statements that they simply CAN'T back up! Any suggesting that "Speed is the biggest killer on our roads" when there is NO factual evidence to back this up is nothing short of blatant lies and deception.
Instead, one of our Members sent us how the TAC ads SHOULD look: http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2005/speed-think-p1.php
Also, we have received a TON of e-mails about the new cameras that have been installed in Melbourne and everyone is worried about these new cylindrical cameras that can supposedly effectively cover 3 lanes of road and all the rest of the hype and rubbish that the so-called "authorities" put out to try and scare people. The e-mail is usually headed "F.Y.I. New speed cameras"/"New speed camera alert" or similar.
Here is a link to some of the new technology behind these devices: http://www.ceos.com.au/products/tirtl-content.htm
Please keep in mind that, like ALL speed detection devices, these new cameras also do NOT conform to the requirements of the National Measurement Act and, furthermore, the cameras that are being connected are digital cameras which means that the flawed MD5 algorithm principle applies and the photos from these devices can be excluded from evidence.
Now, those of you who are Members will understand exactly what we are talking about here. If this all makes no sense to you then again, please grab a copy of our e-book and you will understand why NO photos from ANY camera can be used as evidence against you in court - if you present our information correctly. For speed and red light camera infringements this means that without a photo they have NO evidence against you and therefore there is NO case to answer to. Again, our Memberships page is http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html if you haven't yet joined.
Once again, we MUST stress that speed cameras do NOT help reduce the road toll. In fact, research has shown that speed and red light cameras actually INCREASE accidents. Now, we know this sounds like a big claim but please go to our on-line petition page and read the FACTS before making your final decision on this matter - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
In fact, one of our Members actually sent us a link to an interesting radio program that explains what we have said all along - it is distraction, not paying attention and not focusing that causes accidents and virtually nothing to do with speeding. Click the following link – www.abc.net.au/rn/scienceshow - and download the 4 part series "Cars - the Crunch!" (on each of the last 4 Saturdays) and listen to what people in "the field" have to say about TRUE road safety.
And finally, a story from our friends across the great wet divide - New Zealand. Before you read this story from TVNZ, just be aware that they use EXACTLY the same cameras, procedures and technology there as we do here. So, any problems they are experiencing there, you can be assured our "agencies" are having the same issues here - they're just NOT letting you know about it!!!
http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/police-red-faced-after-speed-cameras-lie-2742207
As always, we thank you all for your continued support and for sending through reports like these that we don't always come across ourselves. A number of you have asked about business cards and bumper stickers. We hope to have the bumper stickers ready in the next week or so and we have had more business cards printed up. So we will e-mail everyone to let them know when the bumper stickers are ready and, in the meantime, if anyone wants some business cards to hand out or put on their counter at work, please e-mail us your address and let us know if you need a desktop holder or not and we will post them out you.
Thanks again and enjoy and stay safe this long weekend!

Major speeding fine breakthrough!
Okay, this e-mail is going to be short but oh so sweet!
Before we get into the exciting new breakthrough we would like to firstly thank all of your for the amazing response to our last e-mail. We had so many people offering to hand out business cards - either personally or via their business - that we had to go and get more cards printed. So, if you asked for some Aussie Speeding Fines business cards and haven't received them yet, please be patient, they are on their way. We got a bunch of extras printed up so if there's anyone else that would like to hand out cards or stick one of our card holders full of cards on their counter then please let us know and we will send them to you free of charge - just be sure to include your name and mailing address in the e-mail.
Also, we got some REALLY great marketing and promotional ideas and we are slowly but surely making our way through them. A number of you have suggested that you were interested in having us make up some bumper stickers so that's something we are working on. A number of truck and van drivers have said they are interested in helping us in this way as well so again, if anyone else is interested, please let us know and we will let everyone know in a separate mailout when we have them all ready.
Okay, so, onto the exciting breakthrough! One of our Members sent us an e-mail this week which has further confirmed, in writing - from an independent and authoritative source - that the National Measurements Act DOES, in fact, apply to ALL speed detection devices - despite many "agencies" suggestions to the contrary. Please see the details of the e-mails below. Please note that the surname of the Member who initiated this has been removed to protect his identity and yes, his first name really is Jim.
To Whom it may concern,
I would like to know if the speed measuring devises used by the police are exempt from the National Measurement Act 1960 (cth) and if so, why and where can I get the exemption certificate that proves that fact.
As far as I can see the only exemptions are:
a) A quantity of reticulated electricity, reticulated gas or reticulated water
b) Charges relating to telephone calls
c) The fare payable for use of a taxi
d) The charge for the hire of a motor vehicle
e) Tyre pressures
f) The expiration of the time for parking a motor vehicle
Your response would be appreciated
Regards
jim
And this was the all important reply that he received:
Dear Mr ??????? (Jim),
I refer to your e-mail of 3 May 2009 to our Trade mailbox and confirm as follows:
1. Speed measuring devices are not exempt from the provisions of the National Measurement Act 1960 (Cth).
2. There is no exemption certificate attesting to the above.
I trust that this information satisfies your enquiry
Yours sincerely
Richard Brittain
Dr Richard Brittain LLB
Executive Officer, Legal Metrology
National Measurement Institute
Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research
Now, if you don't appreciate the MASSIVE impact of this information and how it relates to ALL speeding fines then clearly, you do not have our e-book so please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and order your copy NOW!
Obviously, if you DO have our e-book then you will understand that this confirms what we have said all along and ALL these unjust and unlawful devices (speed cameras - mobile and fixed; radar devices - car mounted and hand held; and hand held laser) MUST all comply with Section 10 of this Act and they DON'T! Any suggestion by a Magistrate or Judge that these devices do not need to comply or that section of the Act is irrelevant can be IMMEDIATELY countered with this information.
This is a HUGE breakthrough for our Members and we would like to send out a huge "Thank You" to Jim for initiating this correspondence and for passing it on to us so that we can then pass it on to you. This is EXACTLY the type of information and update that we provide our Members FREE for life so if anyone doubts the value of our product for even a moment, this should well and truly cover that!
We're still working on answering e-mails from last week so we're going to keep this e-mail direct and to the point and sign off here.
Thanks again to all of you for your continued support and, as always, stay safe out there!
May 16, 2009
What else can we do?
We know we had a bit of a whinge a month or so back and we know we said we wouldn't do it again - especially after all the incredible support and feedback we received - but we're really at a loss as to what to do. So, hopefully this won't come across as a whinge, as such, but more an urgent request for ideas.
People often ask us why we charge what we do for the e-book and we explain that one of the largest costs that we have is our advertising and promotional costs - in an effort to get our information out to as many people as possible BEFORE they get a fine.
As we explain on our website, our e-book will help you no matter what stage you are at with your fines - you may not have received one and just want to prepare yourself for the inevitable (which is the BEST position to be in), you may have received one yesterday or a week ago or, you may even have a very old one that hasn't been paid. The key is that we can help you with ANY unjust and unlawful traffic fine as long as you HAVEN'T paid it. But, once you have paid it there is absolutely NOTHING that we, or anyone else, can do for you.
We have lost track of the number of e-mails where people say "Oh, it's too hard to fight, I can't be bothered, I'll just pay the fine." But, they say this without understanding the FULL ramifications of making such a decision - such as the loss of demerit points and the effect it has on your insurance. Conversely, we have made it as simple as the so-called "justice" system allows for people to fight back against these unjust and unlawful fines and WIN. We show you how to avoid paying a fine, in many cases, by simply writing a couple of letters and, if that doesn't apply to your particular fine, then we show you how to fight simply and easily - at NO cost - and win in court.
We explain how the so-called "authorities" will try and scare you into turning up to court, simply to waste your time, and we explain when you do need to turn up and when you don't. We explain why you can simply defend yourself without wasting any money on useless lawyers, that are only there to protect the integrity of "the system" anyway and how, even if you were to lose, it still wouldn't cost you a cent extra anyway. We explain how easy it is to drag a case on for anywhere up to 18 months (even longer in some cases) and the many benefits of utilising strategies such as this to A) keep your hard earned money in your pocket for longer and B) enable you to get demerit points back on your licence that you had previously lost - as well as a host of other benefits, not least of which is to help fill up the court system so that EVERYONE wins.
Unfortunately, despite all the lengths we go to, despite all the free information and statistics we provide on our website and despite the full money back guarantee that we offer, people still don't get our e-book straight away. Now, in 90% of cases, this won't really be an issue but, in that other 10% of cases, it can be a HUGE issue.
We just get far too many e-mails like the one below and honestly, they are simply heartbreaking to receive. Firstly, because of the predicament that this person is now in but, secondly, and more importantly, because it was SO easily avoidable.
Now, we obviously can't provide specifics regarding the sender of this e-mail but we swear to you that we received the e-mail below just today. And, unfortunately, we get a similar e-mail at least once or twice a month:
Hi, I have been hit with another speed fine from the same school zone camera. This is twice, the last was in January I just paid that last week. Now I get another ticket from the 5th may!
What can I do, I have lost my license for sure as I had only 2 points left last week!
I have seen the photo, it is me , but how do they know the speed limit!
Please help.
P.S. I have 5 kids and a business to run, I am the only bread earner.
This e-mail is word for word, it has not been altered in ANY way, other than to remove the identity of the writer. Now, this person would obviously NOT be in this position if they had our e-book in January. But, like way too many people, they didn't have our information and they just blindly paid the fine and now they're suffering way more stress than they need to. Sure, our e-book will still help them beat this current fine but now they're driving around on tender hooks, worrying about every camera, everywhere because they only have 2 points left on their licence. This was just SO easy to avoid though and we are going out of our minds trying to get this message across to people.
The reality is that, for this person to be "done" twice by the same camera in such a short period of time means that it was, in all likelihood, yet another one of the notoriously FAULTY cameras out there. Worse still, no amount of slowing down, watching your speedo instead of the road or, any similarly stupid suggestion, is going to help. They, like others, will continue to get UNFAIRLY booked when they have done NOTHING wrong!
Who has this person hurt? Who have they deprived of ANYTHING? They haven't! They are yet another INNOCENT motorist, going about their daily duties - with kids of their OWN (so they KNOW how important it is to drive carefully in a school zone) - yet they have been unfairly fined and now face the prospect of losing their licence, their job and their livelihood.
When is the government going to get it? When are the motorists of this country going to get it??? Speed cameras create infinitely MORE issues and problems than they solve!
What more can we do?
We give free statistics, we explain our Vision for the Future and what we hope to achieve from all of this - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
We provide a heap of free research on why speed cameras actually INCREASE accidents and we even set up a petition to have them removed -
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
We provide a number of different versions of the e-book to suit varying requirements and we make it is as simple to order and pay as possible by offering payment via Paypal as well as Mastercard and Visa (through our secure Paypal payment site) -
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
We even provide a FULL 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. Perhaps people don't realise but we have now been operating for over 2 years, we have around 10,000 Members and Subscribers yet we have only ever been asked for a refund a dozen or so times! If those statistics don't speak for themselves then we don't know what does!
Our information WORKS and we have a Testimonials page that is updated at least every month with new reports from our Members about their success with our strategies - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
How else can we promote our information?
We do extensive promotion through Google and similar search engines, we have Members who post our e-mails onto forums and we even provide a 33% commission to all affiliates so that you can actually EARN money by helping to promote us!
We really don't know what else to do but we are seriously frustrated by the e-mails that we receive along the lines of the one above. So, we're throwing it open to you - our Members and Subscribers. Please let us know if you have any cost effective (or cost free) ideas to help us get our information into the hands of the people who REALLY need it, BEFORE it is too late.
A number of people have suggested bumper stickers and we are happy to have those made up if there are people out there that would like to put them on their cars or trucks. Maybe some of you have some suggestions for the wording.
We also have business cards that we can supply in plastic desk top holders if anyone has a motoring related businesses and they could put our card holders on their front counter. We also have loose business cards if anyone feels like handing them out in the street, at universities etc. If either of these ideas appeal or suit you please e-mail us your address and we will post them out to you free of charge.
We have our Seminar DVD and we know that a number of Members have contacted us for permission to screen the DVD at their own seminars and/or meetings. We are more than happy for this to happen so again, if you're in that position, please let us know.
Other than that, we are at a bit of a loss as to how else we can promote our information without it costing considerably more than it already is. Obviously media advertising simply costs too much and, as we have seen in the past, the free TV promotion such as a Current Affair etc. tend to just twist things around to suit their angle anyway.
So, we throw the floor open to all of you and we welcome your ideas, suggestions and assistance. If any of you have ANYTHING at all to put forward, please do so.
We should say at this point that we are hoping for a large response to this e-mail so please be patient with us. As always, we WILL answer every e-mail but please understand that this will hopefully generate a great response and so it may take some time to get back to everyone.
So, on that note, we welcome you to put on your thinking caps and see what you come up with. If nothing else, please pass this e-mail onto EVERYONE in your Contacts list and urge them to please do the same.
Our greatest desire is to NEVER receive an e-mail like the one we have included in this e-mail so please help us to make that a reality and ensure that, should we HAVE to receive an e-mail like that again, it is at least NOT one of your friends, family members or work colleagues.
As always, stay safe out there and thanks again for your continued support,
May 3, 2009
More poof of revenue raising – as if you needed it
Well, it has been another crazy week here at ASF and it seems as though every time we send out an e-mail update we create a new mountain of work for ourselves answering the responses we get. It is becoming a very fine line between keeping in regular contact with you all via our mailouts - to keep you up to date and informed - and then having to answer all the questions that we get a as a result. It's almost as if we send out an e-mail and we then spend a week answering replies to that e-mail and then it's time to send out the next update. This, obviously, doesn't leave us much time to continue our research in between times - hence why we are sending this out late on a Sunday afternoon!
We are still working very hard on completing the next official e-book update but this is becoming increasingly difficult with the extra workload. Also, each time we think we are close to getting it all together, someone sends through another great idea for us to research. Anyway, we're still doing the best we can so please be patient with us and we will continue to answer all your e-mails in a timely manner, as best we can, and know too that we are still working on the next major e-book update.
In the meantime, a few Members have sent us a couple of links which go to prove everything that we have been saying all along about revenue raising speed cameras and how these devices actually INCREASE the road toll.
The first is a story out of the U.K. which, once again, proves that when you REDUCE the number of speed cameras in operation then you REDUCE the road toll. It is such a SIMPLE concept, yet the authorities here still just don't seem to get it.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6208114.ece
Instead of following PROVEN strategies such as this, they insist on installing MORE cameras, fining MORE innocent motorists and, lo and behold, the road toll is HIGHER!
If you have at look over the following page and read some of the articles that they have posted you will see confirmation of this fact from the UK, the US and also our very own back yard. http://www.roadsense.com.au/latest.html
Now, we posted a number of similar articles on our on-line petition page and we have been asking everyone to visit this page and sign our on-line petition to have all speed and red light camera removed. We got off to a fairly good start but the numbers have almost completely dropped off now so we would urge you all to please go to the following page and add your signature and pass it on to EVERYONE in your contacts list so we can get it cranking again.
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
And finally, we received an e-mail from one of our Members last week who had a most interesting experience at court. We usually just put these e-mails up on our Testimonials page and we will still do that with this one. However, the closing lines of this e-mail will hopefully cause any of you reading this, who have so far missed it, to see the light once and for all.
Hi, some good news and interesting bit of information to share with you. Back in Aug 2008, I attended the Melbourne Magistrates' Court to defend myself against a charge of 'Entering Intersection - Red Traffic Light'. By using the information and resource material provided by 'Aussie Speeding Fines' I was able to successfully have the charge dismissed.
Interestingly though, before the hearing, the Police Prosecutor had a chat with me to discuss and view my case, as if to gauge whether to pursue or not. After seeing photos and hearing what I had prepared he said "Well, you'll have your opportunity to have your say in court" and walked off to the allocated court room.
Upon summarising the events of the hearing, the Magistrate sided with my evidence and particularly noted that the Red Light Camera photos used by Civic Compliance were inconclusive, stating that the photos do not show my vehicle entering the intersection after the lights changed red. The Magistrate then dismissed the charge and also firmly said to the Police Prosecutor that he be better prepared with evidence in the future.
The biggest shock for me out all of this occurred outside the court as the Police Prosecutor stopped briefly to say that the case outcome was what he expected. Well, why then did he make me go through the courts I asked him, to which he replied "You need to understand what happens in the background as to why we still decide to pursue some of these cases in the courts" (Fear of courts - No shows, revenue). I can tell you I was furious, all the prosecutor did was shrug his shoulders and walk off.
Now, if that doesn't get your blood boiling at the current corrupt and unjust system then nothing will. So, if you want to fight back against this kind of blatant revenue raising and taking advantage of INNOCENT motorists, and you haven't yet done so, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and become a Member.
Once we ALL unite and fight back against these ridiculous, ineffective and unlawful fines, we WILL cause the system to change. It simply HAS to. Remember, when they're raking in a BILLION dollars a year, they can gloss over the INCREASING road toll but when the road toll continues to rise but they're no longer earning money from these flawed and faulty devices then they will HAVE to take notice of the strategies and ideas that we outline on our Vision for the Future page:
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html
As always, thank you all again for your continued support and encouragement and please, stay safe out there!
April 21, 2009
Thank you all so much!
Wow! We are speechless, we truly don't know what to say other than a HUGE "Thank You" to everyone. This past weekend we have been absolutely inundated with e-mails of support from Members and Subscribers and the response to our last e-mail has been simply incredible.
We always knew that we were helping and making a difference but some of the feedback we got just blew us away. So, once again a HUGE "Thank You" to EVERYONE who wrote in with supportive messages. You have truly inspired us to fight harder than ever before!
Also, we must send out an extra special "Thank You" to all of you who went out of their way to write to Frank Pangallo of Today Tonight and explain all the various ways in which the Aussie Speeding Fines system and team have helped you. In fact, so many people wrote to them that we have started receiving the following response to Members from Today Tonight:
Thank you for your email.
We understand that you may have concerns that Today Tonight will be running a story to discredit the business "Aussie Speeding Fines".
Unfortunately you have been given the wrong information. Frank Pangallo and no other reporters from Today Tonight have ever run a story to defame or discredit Aussie Speeding Fines or any other affiliated company.
They were obviously so overwhelmed by the number of e-mails they received that they finally felt they HAD to respond in some way. Now, whilst we certainly appreciate the sentiment of the e-mail and the INDICATION that they have taken notice of all the people who have e-mailed in, we're not yet 100% convinced. Firstly, the wording is a little bit off - "concerns that Today Tonight WILL be running a story" and then "No reporters from Today Tonight HAVE ever run a story"
So, it doesn't actually say anywhere that they WON'T run a story and furthermore, what they say about not EVER running a story to discredit Aussie Speeding Fines is actually NOT true. Today Tonight in Melbourne ran a story last year that suggested that the Aussie Speeding Fines system didn't work. They interviewed Mike Palmer - who previously did some promotion for us and helped us get set up - after he went to them with a story of police corruption and, instead of reporting that, they turned it all around on him and suggested that he was the man behind Aussie Speeding Fines and then, because he didn't get off some trumped up charges, they suggested that our system didn't work.

In any event, Today Tonight would be VERY stupid to try and run a story on us now, considering how many of you were kind enough to write to them and explain how we have helped you and, even more so, since we just found out that it was Frank Pangallo himself who interviewed one of Members in South Australia on Today Tonight a few weeks back and she has actually told him that it was basically because of us that she won her case!
It is also worth noting that still, NO-ONE from Today Tonight has made ANY effort to contact us or get OUR side of the story in any way.
By the way, if any of you who kindly forwarded us your letters of support and success to Today Tonight could please confirm if we are able to add them to our Testimonials page then that would be great. We are thinking of even creating a new page called "Letters to Today Tonight" which we could then publish and people who were considering becoming Members and using our system could read all the feedback on top of all the ones we have on the Testimonials page. So, if you are able to send us a separate testimonial or if you have already sent us a copy of what you sent Today Tonight and are happy for us to put it up on our website - without any identifying details obviously - then please let us know.
Anyway, we just wanted to let you all know, once again, how much we appreciate your support and all that feedback has definitely inspired us to fight back stronger and harder than ever before.
Unfortunately, there are always a few negative people, one of more of whom have kindly gone to the trouble of listing our e-mails as spam, which inadvertently affects everyone else. Many of you use an e-mail program that uses spamcop or ironport or one of those programs that filters emails. Now, we always use a double opt-in system which is managed by a third party so we NEVER send spam, we only ever send e-mails to people who have signed up to receive our e-mails and we always include clear instructions at the bottom of each mass mailout as to how to be removed from our mailing list - should you choose to do so. So, how, or why, anyone would list our e-mails as spam is beyond us but it is clearly just another strategy that agents of "the system" employ to try and frustrate us and stop us from informing our Members and Subscribers.
What this means though is that some of you may not be receiving replies from us or may be receiving them a few days late or out of sequence. So, if this happens please be aware of the reason, it is not because we are ignoring you or have forgotten you.
We generally answer all e-mails within 24 - 48 hours, it can sometimes take longer after we send out an update as we generally get a lot of replies. However, if you do not receive a reply within 72 hours please re-send your e-mail as we probably haven't been able to reply for some reason. If you still don't get a response it means your particular e-mail program still hasn't cleared us from the spam list so try sending us an alternate address.
Please note that the reason you still get the mass mailouts is because they are sent from a different system which does not get listed, it is jut our reply server that seems to have the issue.
In closing, we would like to remind any of you who are not yet Members to please join via the following link:
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
And, anyone who hasn't yet signed our on-line petition yet, we would ask for your assistance and support in that regard as well:
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
Other than that, we don't have much else to say, we really are still somewhat speechless at all the wonderful feedback and we would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Finally, stay tuned as we have a special surprise on the way for EVERYONE!
Thanks again and stay safe out there!

We’ve had enough – we’ve finally cracked it!
Well, we're sorry to say but we've had enough, we've cracked it! Despite all our efforts over the past 2 years it seems as though enough is never enough. No matter what we do, it's just not good enough. No matter, how we try and help people, there are others that still want to complain and, at the end of the day, as you will see from the news reports below, it appears as though virtually NO-ONE is taking any notice of the facts before their very eyes!
We really don't know what else to do. We don't know how to get through to people, so, we will try one last time.
People ask us why we charge the prices we do. We have been researching and collating our information for 5 years now and we continue to do so. All that research costs MONEY! We also update our website regularly and we send out updates like this constantly - again, this all costs MONEY!
Please tell us ONE other product or service where you get completely FREE updates for life and they answer EVERY question you send them without charge as well? If we just exist to make money or "scam people" then why on earth would we go to all this trouble. Surely there MUST be easier ways to make money and scam people than to go to all of this effort!
You see, we also send out a personalized response to EVERY e-mail enquiry we get, this can be in the vicinity of 300 - 500 e-mails some days. Once again, this costs MONEY. We spend a horrendous amount on Google Adwords each month in an attempt to get our information in front of people BEFORE they get a fine because, quite honestly, we are sick to death of people complaining "Gee, I wish I knew about you guys .... weeks/months ago, before I paid all these fines." We just don't know how to make the message any clearer "Get our e-book BEFORE you get a fine. We GUARANTEE you that you will NOT regret it. If you don't believe our e-book is EVERYTHING we say it is and MORE then simply let us know and we will give you a FULL refund - we simply can't be any fairer than that!
We even go to the trouble of running a 25% discount promotion once or twice a year and even then, we get complaints because people didn't get their order in on time and missed the discount. Hey, we didn't have to give a discount in the first place. Most of our Members gladly paid FULL PRICE. So, in future, if we offer a discount, please have the courtesy to accept it graciously.
Okay, that's our first lot of gripes out of the way, unfortunately though, there are more. Every week we receive an e-mail or two from someone asking us if we are "legit". "Does your stuff REALLY work?" "We read some crap from a lawyer - that has breached so many copyright laws it's a joke - and he says your stuff doesn't work." Etc. etc.
Once and for all, YES our information WORKS! We have been operating for over 2 years now. We update our Testimonials page pretty much every month with feedback from more Members that have successfully used our information to fight back and WIN!
We have published our answers to the ridiculous and baseless claims made by the likes of Mr Hardy and Today Tonight and they are there for ALL to see.
Speaking of which, we have just been informed that Today Tonight wish to do a follow up story to their last piece of journalistic crap, so you heard it here first. Just so you know, at the time of writing this they haven't even ATTEMPTED to contact us in ANY way - not even a SINGLE e-mail. So, expect a truly biased and one-eyed story from them in the next week or so. And, please, before you blindly buy into their rubbish - or anyone else trying to convince you that our stuff doesn't work - just THINK for a moment at what their motivation is. We have been busily working away in the background helping people all over the country to effectively fight back against an ineffective and unjust system. These guys just want to run a sensational and outlandish story to bump up their ratings and/or make themselves feel far more important than they are! We have no need for glory, our success comes from your feedback and Testimonials!
We are asking ALL our current Members for help on this one. We don't do this often but this is important. Frank Pangello from the Adelaide office of Today Tonight is hell bent on trying to discredit us. We have no idea why, especially given that they just did a story on one of our Members who successfully fought back against an unjust fine and won. In any event, we are asking any and all Members who have had any kind of success with our information at all - whether that be the 3 step process, one of our other letters or just the general information in the e-book - to FLOOD Today Tonight and Frank with calls and/or e-mails. You can do this directly via their website at http://www.todaytonightadelaide.com.au/ This is REALLY important and no matter what state you live in this could help make the difference between us continuing to exist or not. It will take only 5 minutes of your time and we would really appreciate your help on this one.
Okay, moving on.
At the start of this e-mail, we told you about some news reports that were of great concern to us. We would like to thank all of our Members who kindly passed these onto us and we would urge you to continue doing so.
So, we sent out an e-mail explaining our Easter promotion last Thursday and we predicted that, despite all the cameras out there issuing unjust fines and despite all the police doing the same thing, that the road toll would NOT go down. Unfortunately, we were correct.
The National road toll for the Easter period was horrifically 14.
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=800644
What's far more important though, was that we also predicted that it was single car accidents - where people had run off the road because they fell asleep because of the ridiculously low speeds that we are now forced to drive at. Here is the opening paragraph of our Easter e-mail in case you missed it "Unfortunately, if this holiday period is anything like the recent Christmas holiday period then there will still be a number of fatal accidents - mostly single car accidents on boring country roads where the driver has fallen asleep because of the monotonous and boring speed limit he/she was forced to adhere to."
So, are we psychic? Could we magically see into the future? No, of course not. But what we CAN do is look at the FACTS and look at the statistics which show us that speed is only "a" factor in 5% of accidents and that single car accidents on open roads due to artificially DEFLATED speed limits are one of the BIGGEST factors in the road toll.
Please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html to read the facts and statistics for yourself.
Next, we have the following story from Sydney:
http://www.smh.com.au/national/increase-in-road-deaths-alarms-police-20090411-a3du.html?page=-1
Once again, the first thing they discuss is a SINGLE car accident on an open road. They then go on to say that 2700 speeding tickets were issued. Now despite the ridiculously high road toll for NSW, the number of speeding drivers compared to the number of accidents is still massively BELOW the 5% that are attributed to speed. See more on this point below.
Then there was this absolutely insane story from Victoria:
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/801145/vic-police-happy-with-toll-not-drivers
Once again, you will note that the ONLY fatality in Victoria was yet another SINGLE car accident on an open road - is this sounding familiar to ANYONE???? They go on to make ridiculous statements like "Luck, as much as good planning, kept the figure down." Please, what an absolute CROCK! About the only honest statement is them admitting that the reason for the drop in the road toll this year is "an imprecise science". Yes, well, it's certainly not due to fines being issued.
Seriously, if speeding was SO dangerous, as they keep making out and they admit that "over 5,000 speeding fines" were issued then SURELY the road toll should have been higher. Just do the maths and you will see in an instant that this "Speed Kills" message that they keep shoving down our throats has absolutely NO basis in reality!
Now, in case you haven't read it yet, we would urge you to please look over the following page and see that statistics and studies that show that speed cameras actually INCREASE accidents!
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
Please, add your signature and pass it on to EVERYONE you know.
Now for our final whinge. Despite ALL the facts, despite all the proof that we provide on our website, we were alerted to the following story from WA:
http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/more-multanovas--wa-says-bring-em-on-20090409-a1dh.html
We have a lot of Members in WA - probably because of stories like this - so we don't want to be rude but man, what are they putting in the water over there for a story like this to come out? Given all the information exposing the TRUTH about speed cameras on our on-line petition page (see above) the less said about this story the better.
And finally, in case you were in ANY doubt as to what speed cameras are REALLY all about, check out the following story from NSW:
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25325472-5006009,00.html
$23 MILLION! And where do you suppose that revenue came from??? Oh, surely it didn't come from speeding fines, because all that money goes back into improving the roads and training people to be safer drivers - just like we promote on our Vision for the Future page. Yeah, right!
Perhaps now you can see why we are so incredulous at some of the e-mails we receive and the points we raised at the start of this letter. You have so-called "reporters" trying to discredit us, yet they say nothing about the facts and figures that we raise above!
So, please, if you are not yet a Member, please go to our Memberships page below and join the ranks of the truly informed and educated motorists of this country and then pass on our details to friends, family members and work colleagues so they can join too.
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
We apologise for the whingeing in this e-mail, we don't do it too often but it just all got to us this month, especially considering that we are still working so hard on completing the next update. Hopefully some of this information has gotten you a little hot under the collar as well though. So, please forgive us and we promise we will be on the positive offensive when we write next.

Justice Enfield and new point to point speed cameras
We would like to thank all of you have taken the few minutes required to sign our on-line petition to have all speed and red-light cameras removed across Australian roads. In just 10 days we have collected over 850 signatures however, whilst this is a great start, it is nowhere near enough to make any real impact so please, we would urge you to pass this e-mail onto EVERYONE you know who drives in Australia and urge them to sign as well.
Here is a direct link to the on-line petition:
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-speed-and-red-light-cameras.html
Those wanting more information on the background of our petition should check out the following link as well:
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
We have had a number of Members e-mail us over the past week about a few notable cases from the media. First and foremost was the story about Justice Marcus Enfield. A number of people have expressed their concerns that if a Federal Court Judge can't get out of a speeding fine then what hope does the average motorist have? And that, of course, is EXACTLY what these corrupt agencies want you to think. So, let's break it down:
Firstly, the main issue with Justice Enfield was that he lied. He lied on a Stat Dec and he stupidly lied by saying that people that weren't even in the country - and one that was even dead at the time - were supposedly driving his car when he knew full well that they weren't.
Now, those of you who are Members of our site www.aussiespeedingfines.com and have read our e-book will know first hand that one of the points that we stress most highly is do NOT lie and do NOT fill out a Stat Dec incorrectly. Firstly, and most obviously, for the points raised above but secondly, because there is no need to. There are so many strategies available to our Members (which are all detailed in our e-book "Speeding Fines - What You REALLY Need to Know!") for defeating unjust and unlawful fines that filling out a Stat Dec incorrectly is just absolutely NOT an option. In fact, as our Members will note, we actually instruct our Members to use OUR own forms instead of the forms created by the agencies deliberately to try and trap you.
So, why did Justice Enfield lie? People have e-mailed us saying "Hey, this guy was a Federal Court Judge, if he didn't know all the ways to get out a fine then there obviously can't be any." No!!!!!! Go and ask a family court lawyer or a banking lawyer how to get out of a fine- they will have NO idea. That is NOT their area of expertise. A Federal Court Judge would have almost NEVER dealt with a simple speeding fine or parking fine so he wouldn't have a clue of how to get out of it. This fact can be proven by many of our members who have gone into a Magistrate's Court to fight against an unjust and unlawful traffic fine - Magistrate's Courts deal with these types of issues all day, every day - and yet the Prosecutors and Magistrate's have been running around completely flustered because they have often never heard of the points that our Members raise from our e-book.
The "law" is EXTREMELY complicated and unless you specialize in a particular area and keep up to date with all the changes made in that area then it is very unlikely that you will know anything about it. So, that answers ONE part of why Justice Enfield lied. The other, obvious question is, why didn't he just pay the fine?
He didn't pay the fine because like every other reasonable and safe driver on the road he was justifiably concerned about losing his licence and his right to travel freely in this country despite harming NO-ONE! Despite ALL the media stories on Justice Enfield and his speeding fines, not ONCE has anyone mentioned that he had an accident, that he hurt anyone, that he deprived anyone of anything. So, why was a Federal Court Judge so worried about his licence that he would commit the most shocking of acts, for a person in that position, and lie on a Stat Dec and under oath? It was simply because he knew how corrupt the system was and that he felt that was his only option. If only he had gone to our website at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and become a Member!
So please, do NOT buy into the media hype about these fines and do NOT be scared into blindly paying because you don't think there is anything you can do. There is PLENTY you can do and the MANY e-mails we have received from our Members and placed on our Testimonials page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html prove this fact categorically! If you take anything away from the Judge Enfield story it should be - do NOT lie, do NOT fill out a Stat Dec incorrectly and do NOT give false evidence, you simply do NOT need to, to still effectively fight back and win against unjust and unlawful fines.
Okay, we also received a number of e-mails from Members saying that in our last e-mail we referred to an e-mail that was circulating about the point to point cameras on the M5 and M7 freeways in NSW. A number of people have informed us that this e-mail was a hoax e-mail and we shouldn't have passed it on.
We only mentioned it because a number of Members had passed it on to us and they were concerned about the contents. In any event, whether real or not, the fact is that point to point cameras DO exist and it is just as easy to defeat fines from these types of cameras as it is to defeat fines by ALL types of cameras. So whether these cameras are really in operation now, whether they may be some time on the future or perhaps not at all, the point is do NOT worry, do NOT buy into this kind of media hype and NEVER just blindly pay a speeding fine or parking fine.
Finally, speaking of point to point cameras, a number of Members from out "West" sent us the following article: http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=77&ContentID=131675
Now, firstly, this obviously highlights our point above that these cameras ARE already in use in Victoria and our Members are effectively defeating unjust and unlawful fines issued by this system and secondly, if they are not yet operational in NSW - and QLD, for that matter - it will only be a matter of time.
The most important and obvious points to be taken from this article are the following lines: "Professor Cameron estimated that the point-to-point cameras would see police issue about 850,000 speeding fines a year." and "Based on an average fine of $150, this would equate to almost $130 million a year in fines revenue."
Firstly, if speed cameras are SO effective at making motorists slow down - as they keep spouting - then how on earth can they estimate how many fines these things will issue before the first one is even installed????
And secondly, as always, they claim that these devices are NOT about raising revenue yet, once again, before the first camera is even installed, they are already tallying up how much they money they will extort from INNOCENT motorists!!!!
Guys, and girls, this whole thing is getting out of control. Our civil liberties are being eaten away every day and it is only going to continue getting WORSE if we don't send out a UNITED message. The whole country is in the grip of a credit crisis, people are losing their jobs, their homes and their families and all the governments of this country want to do is find new, more efficient ways, of taking our hard earned money. We simply MUST put a stop to this.
Please pass this on to EVERYONE you know. Please urge them to sign our on-line petition at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-speed-and-red-light-cameras.html and urge EVERY motorist to become a Member and put an end to this madness!
March 20, 2009
Have you signed our petition yet?
Following on from our last e-mail, we now have even more reasons to urge you to sign our petition to have ALL speed and red-light cameras removed from our roads. In case you missed our last e-mail or you had problems with the links, we have hosted all the relevant details on a separate page on our website that can be accessed via the following link:
http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Petition-To-Remove-Cameras.html
In the meantime, if you haven't done so yet, please go to http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-speed-and-red-light-cameras.html and add your signature.
Now, as if what we sent out last week wasn't enough - the fact that speed and red-light cameras are now proven to INCREASE accidents - we have just been sent a link to a story that was done on Today Tonight in Adelaide on yet another faulty speed camera. If you go to the following link http://www.todaytonightadelaide.com.au/ and select the 5th video down called "Speed Camera Bungle" you will see a scientific breakdown that confirms EVERYTHING that we have been saying about these devices ALL along.
This story highlights how many errors there are with speed detection devices and how many completely INNOCENT motorists are having their hard earned money EXTORTED from them under the false guise of "road safety". It also points out how badly "the system" is stacked against the motorists of this country and why it is SO important to fight back!
You can see for yourself the errors with camera angle set-up and the very sections of the guidelines for use manuals that we provide in our e-book are referred to by the expert interviewed in the story. All the bits about where cameras can and can't be set up and how they are supposed to be set up is included in our e-book, exactly as is outlined in this interview. This means that, as a Member of our website, you can use EXACTLY the same arguments as the guy being interviewed puts forward on camera. If you're not yet a Member, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html
The expert being interviewed also goes on to show how the hand held devices have their own set of problems with the Doppler effect and again, we explain all of this in our e-book so, no matter which flawed revenue raising device you have been "caught" by, you CAN fight back and win as Bridget did. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Bridget for having the guts to stand up and fight back and to make this story a reality. She is one of our informed and educated Members and should be an inspiration to all of you that you CAN fight back and WIN!
We have also been sent the following e-mail - or a version of it (with differing supposed "authenticating signatures" at the end) - about 50 times in the past month or so:
Dear Colleagues,
New Legislation M5 & M7 Re Speeding Fines
Please read if you travel both tollways....you may lose your licence
M5 and the M7 are now equipped with Point to Point Speed Devices. On entering the M7 the Etag beeps and a camera takes a photo of your car recording the exact time. On exiting the Etag system beeps again another camera at that point takes a photo of the car and the time. Then the computer calculates the time it has taken you to travel between the two points and calculates your speed. If you completed the clocked journey too fast you are issued with a speeding ticket.
At the present the speed limit is 100K.P.H. with a tolerance of 102 maximum. Over that and you are issued with a fine automatically. What a shock some drivers are going to have when they use this roadway for a week and get a week's tickets BOTH WAYS. Of course your licence will also be recalled for 3 months. Now with the new legislation, fighting a Speed Camera fine is almost impossible. You must prove the device is faulty and if you are not a technician working on them, you have no chance of beating the fine.
The Pacific Highway has a set and these are recognized by large steel frames over the lanes with a speed camera and some distance up the road is another large metal frame with a speed camera.
These new point to point systems are being put onto any expressway and highway where vehicles are not able to exit between those points.
NOTE: School zone cameras are not speed tolerant. Anything over, even 41K.P.H, is a fine.

Now, the fact is that these types of cameras have been operating in Victoria for quite some time now and their absolutely ridiculous suggestion that these fines cannot be beaten for some magical unknown reason in NSW is a complete JOKE!
Members have been successfully fighting these fines as well as ALL other camera fines due to the flawed MD5 algorithm and lack of NSC approval. They are just as easy to beat as any other fines so please do NOT buy into their scare tactics!
Anyway, we're going to keep this e-mail short as we would prefer you spent time signing our petition at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-speed-and-red-light-cameras.html and passing this e-mail onto EVERYONE in your Contacts list. Given the statistics that we have provided on our website and in previous e-mails that PROVE that speed cameras are simply there to raise revenue and actually INCREASE accidents, there is no reason why EVERY single motorist in Australia shouldn't have his or her signature on our petition. We urge you to please do your part to make that so.
March 16, 2009
Update to last e-mail with new links
Sorry, some of the links in our last e-mail didn't work so we have re-sent it with new links. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Well, on the very off chance that you needed any further proof as to why all speed and red-light cameras MUST be removed from our roads once and for all, we have included it for you below. In fact, our research shows that these cameras actually INCREASE accidents and we have the statistics and research below to back up what many may think is an outlandish claim. Once you have read the facts though, you will realize what is outlandish is that these corrupt agencies continue to get away with false advertising - with their complete rubbish about speed cameras saving lives - as well as making off with your hard earned money.
If, however, you're one of our informed and educated Members then you know this already and you don't need any more convincing. Therefore, if you're ready, willing and able to do your bit, then we would urge you to click the following link and add your signature to our on-line petition and join us in having all speed and red light cameras removed from all roads across Australia.
http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/26111.html - On-line Petition link
Should you wish a little more information first - or even after you have signed, to confirm that you have done the right thing - then please read on.
Now, from a purely technical point of view, those of you who have read Bonus Report 3 from the e-book will understand that the fundamental way in which a speed or red-light camera operates is in violation of our fundamental right to natural justice. In ANY other type of punishment a HUMAN must FIRST detect or estimate that you are doing something wrong and then CONFIRM that estimation with the use of a scientific device - there needs to be that two step process for transparency.
With camera detection devices, however, there is NO human involvement at all. In fact, a single device ends up becoming Judge, Jury and Executioner all in one and, people across the world have now had enough.
Motorists from all around the globe have realized how these cameras have deprived them of their basic rights - as well as a lot of their hard earned money - and they have taken steps to remove these cameras in their part of the world. And now, it is time for the people of Australia to do the same. At the very end of this e-mail, you will find another link to our on-line petition which we would ask you all to sign and to pass around to everyone you know who drives a vehicle on our roads to sign as well.
In the meantime, we have attached some very interesting articles, reports and research that we have come across that you can share with your family and friends so that we can ensure that 2009 is the year that justice FINALLY prevails in this country and people, once again, regain their freedom to travel unhindered on our roads, as they have a natural, God-given right to do.
This first article is from an Arizona County that has now officially scrapped its speed camera program. This PROVES that what we are suggesting - to have all cameras removed - CAN be done. More importantly, the article clearly states that "Accidents INCREASED by 16%" in the year that the cameras were operational. The same article also states that red light cameras have "also been associated with increased accidents in some cities." http://voices.kansascity.com/node/3409
There is a more comprehensive article on the situation below and again, there are some VERY important lines to note. Firstly, it is the County Sheriff himself who made the comment that "I'm against photo speed enforcement COMPLETELY" - he goes on to state that speed cameras actually "created dangerous road conditions." Now, who better to know this than the actual guy on the ground there? Interestingly, this matches EXACTLY what many police officers in Australia also believe but are too scared to speak up and say.
Now, here's the truly telling line, the Sheriff actually states on record that, in addition to the INCREASE in accidents by 16%, fatal accidents actually DOUBLED!!!! Now, obviously he can't prove that speed cameras caused the accidents but he DOES admit that they were a factor - now, this is a FAR cry from the "Cameras CUT Crashes" crap that we are spoon fed here in Australia!
http://www.azcentral.com/community/pinal/articles/2009/01/21/20090121pinalradar0122.html
Here is yet another article - this time from Hawaii - that proves, once again, that these cameras CAN be removed from service if enough people stand up and fight back. The telling line in this article is where the drivers say the system "smacked of "George Orwell's "Big Brother" - anyone get that same feeling of living in a Police State here in Australia?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1390665/Angry-drivers-force-Hawaii-to-drop-speed-cameras.html
The article below is from Winnipeg, Canada and the opening line says it all "Independent city audit shows Winnipeg, Canada police use misleading statistics to hide the INCREASE in accidents caused by photo enforcement" - that's right, the same thing AGAIN, speed cameras actually contributed to an INCREASE in accidents - the very thing they are supposed to be decreasing! http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/10/1036.asp
The final article below is from a University study that, once again, shows that cameras actually INCREASE crashes! Whilst the whole article is an interesting read, the three pertinent lines are: "Instead of improving motorist safety, red-light cameras SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE crashes ...","The rigorous studies clearly show red-light cameras DON'T work," and "Instead, they INCREASE crashes and injuries...."
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080311151159.htm
Unfortunately, far too many people just blindly buy into the media rubbish, that is, of course, sponsored by corrupt government agencies - that these cameras are there for our safety. These articles are just a small sample of research and studies that appear all around the world proving that these cameras exist wholly and solely to raise revenue. We even got an article form a Member just this past weekend that stated similar results in Italy - unfortunately, the link didn't work. We have always referenced the Autobahns of Europe as clear and concise proof that speed does NOT kill. Just look at the speeds that they drive over there and how few accidents they have.
However, we know that despite all of the above there will STILL be people that don't believe us. There will still be someone that says "Yeah, well that's all research from the US, it's not relevant here." Obviously, they have a LOT more people in the US so, if anything, it just proves our point even further but hey, that's fine, because we ALSO have statistics from Australia as well.
Now, before you check out the following links, it is important to note that the person who has provided the following statistics is not some crazy guy who hates the cops and enforcement agencies, he is not someone who believes that people should drive however they want, he was actually the Manager for Road Safety Research at Vicroads. Unfortunately, once he started providing evidence such as the links below, he was urged to "move on". So, on that note, please look over the statistics and graphs below which are from Tasmania and Queensland, right here in Australia.

Queensland Road Toll Trends - Click here to download this file. http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/attachments/3/Queensland%20road%20toll%20Trends.doc
So, the common thread throughout ALL of these articles and statistics is that, despite what our so-called "authorities" try and tell us, cameras do NOT cut crashes, they increase crashes. Cameras do NOT save lives, they are actually a factor in increasing fatal crashes. Mobile cameras, fixed cameras and red light cameras do NOT work in ANY way other than to raise revenue for the government.
If you haven't already done so, we would urge you all to take a few minutes to read over our Vision For the Future page -http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - for further details on why these cameras will NEVER reduce the road toll in this country and what steps WILL ultimately make a difference.
We would urge any of you who are not yet Members to go to our Memberships page - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html - and join the team of Informed and Educated motorists of this country and finally, please use the link below to add your signature to our on-line petition to finally have all these ridiculous cameras removed from our roads once and for all.

Once again, we would ask you to please pass this e-mail around to ALL your contacts - just be sure to cut out the Unsubscribe link before passing it on so that you are not accidentally removed form our database. Also, feel free to cut and pastes the relevant sections onto any and all motoring forums or websites - Facebook, Twitter, My Space etc. - that you may have access to and please help us spread the word that the motorists of this country have now had enough and there is something very simple that EVERYONE can do to help make that change. Together, we CAN change this corrupt, unjust and unlawful system!

The latest relevant media reports
Firstly, we would like to thank all of you who have been passing through media articles to us over the past week or so. Now, obviously, we have doubled up on a lot of stories but of more concern is the simply the number of stories that have been forwarded to us that are NOT doubled up.
This clearly shows that there is more and more media attention being focused on these ridiculous revenue raising devices and the public is well and truly FED UP!
Now, were still working on finalizing the on-line petition for all states to have these unjust and unlawful devices removed and we are also just compiling all the international research and reports that PROVE, once and for all, that these devices do NOT save lives! We hope to have these off to you all in the next week or so.
In the meantime, we wanted to share two of the most disturbing stories that we came across in the past week - through the help of our diligent Members that passed them on - which, once again, highlight the absolute ABSURDITY of the current corrupt system.
Firstly, we saw this story in the Herald Sun newspaper which outlines one camera in particular, in Melbourne, that has raked in over $4 MILLION in just ONE year!
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25102476-661,00.html
Now, as you read the story you will see some far more disturbing figures than even that one. They go on to mention a number of other cameras and they proudly state that these cameras have "caught" 20,000 odd drivers EACH!
They pathetically try to justify this by quoting some ridiculous figure that 4,000 motorists across the STATE are involved in crashes due to people running red lights. However, they have provided NO correlation WHAT-SO-EVER between THESE particular cameras and those crash sites!
They quote the number of crashes at 4,000 people across the entire state but these cameras are catching 20,000 - 25,000 people EACH. There are so many cameras that now there's even a "Top 50" list - how on earth did we allow it to get so out of control??? There is also NO evidence at all that crashes at the sites where these particular cameras operate has reduced at all.
Now, if these people want to try and justify their lovely little revenue raising devices then please provide some RELEVANT data and stop filling our heads with their crap and their pockets with our money.
They try and make out that they are the "good guys" in all of this and it's not about the money - yeah right! In fact, they even provide the biggest joke excuse of all - "If traffic cameras were just about raising money then Police would not have waived fines for 24,000 drivers last year." They waived fines for 24,000 drivers because they HAD to - we FORCED them to!!!!
We challenge ANYONE to provide us with a letter from ANY Police Force in the country where the Police just wrote to them - without someone writing to them FIRST - and said "Hey, we've thought about it and we're going to drop your fine." Seriously, what a load of absolute CRAP!
The ONLY reason Police waived these fines is because OUR strategies tell people EXACTLY what they have to do to achieve that. If they are so generous, as they try and make out, please show us where the Police advertise what to say and how to say it to have a fine waived - they DON'T! We do - which is why it is important to pass our website onto anyone and everyone you know who drives in this country. If this article has ANY truth to it, it is that our strategies WORK, (despite what certain vindictive individuals suggest) and you CAN avoid paying these unjust and unlawful fines by using our information!
So, if you're not yet a Member, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and join up now.
It appears that Mr Terry Mulder is the only person with any SENSIBLE comments. He admits that the figures from these cameras are "extraordinary" and, more importantly, he admits that other measures clearly need to be introduced as the current system is obviously not working. Mind you, that is what we have been saying for around 2 years now and we have a comprehensive outline of some of the strategies that we would like to see brought in and these can be viewed at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html - as well as detailed statistics on what REALLY causes these crashes and why NO amount of new speed cameras will EVER make a difference.
The problem is that these agencies keep justifying these devices by saying that they supposedly "make people slow down" - they quote rubbish like "speed cameras cut crashes", "speed cameras save lives" - yet by Mr Mulder's own admissions, they clearly do NOT!
The definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. They keep installing more and more sped cameras and making more and more money yet lives are NOT being saved! It is time to take NEW action and that is what we trust that our on-line petition will achieve next month - so, stay tuned.
Okay, and one other story that also happened to be in the Herald Sun, was about yet another revenue raising device that is being trialled in Australia at the moment, the AutoChalk system for issuing parking fines.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25102701-2862,00.html
Any of you from Victoria will no doubt remember the never ending string of problem that Tenix - who is the company trying to bring out this new system - have had over the past few years with their sped cameras. They had their cameras on the Western Ring Road and Westgate Freeway turned for years and the Victorian Government even had to set up a multi-million dollar compensation fund to pay back all the motorists who were wrongly fined. But SURELY, they will get it right this time - wont they?
Not only that, but, as we stated above, simply issuing fines is NOT the answer. Something DIFFERENT needs to be done but that will never happen whilst they are raking in billions of dollars worth of revenue each year and that is just set to increase dramatically. We MUST fight back and stop paying our fines and send a message loud and clear that we simply DON'T want the government employing these types of strategies on our so-called "behalf".
Sure, it's frustrating not being able to find a parking spot when you want to but are prepared to allow this type of Big Brother system to come into effect instead? GPS is notoriously inaccurate. Please write in if you have used a GPS for more than 6 months and it has NEVER sent you to the wrong place.
This system will make it almost impossible - for those who are not Members and are not kept up to date with our strategies - to fight these fines because you won't receive the ticket until weeks after the so-called "offence" so you won't know if it was correct or not. At least when you find a ticket under your window you can take photos of the signage, the position of your car etc.
How will this system know if you parked for an hour, left for a while and then returned to the exact same spot? How will the system be calibrated and tested as it will be required to be under Section 10 of the National Measurement Act? Will the photos be admissible in court? Will the laws surrounding this system be "magically" enacted or will they be enacted in the Queen's name, as is required? Who will testify in court against you - the truck itself or the driver (who cannot possibly testify that you were parked illegally when he is driving a truck that photographs 7,000 cars an hour!)
The system has more holes in it than Swiss cheese, yet they will supposedly pass it in Parliament and they will start issuing fines and, once again, the average, innocent motorist, who doesn't know any better will be fleeced of even more of their hard earned dollars.
In case you haven't noticed, we are in the midst of a major financial crisis. Do you want those you elected into power to be bringing in new ways of taking more of your hard earned money or do you think that perhaps their time, effort and energy could be otherwise better spent?
Seriously, you cannot just sit back and hope that it will look after itself. These stories are in the media for a reason, to inform you of what these corrupt government agencies are trying to get away with. But, now you know so you MUST take action. Write to your local Member of Parliament, write to the media and explain that you do NOT want the government taking these kinds of actions. You do NOT want your money spent on more speed cameras and revenue raising systems. If you do not speak up, your voice will not be heard and nothing will change.
Sure, we're here to help motorists fight their individual fines and we will continue do so but there is only so much we can do on our own. We need EVERYONE to stand up and fight back TOGETHER and send a UNIFIED message that enough is now enough!
Please pass this e-mail on to everyone in your Contacts list - be sure to remove the Unsubscribe link at the bottom so you don't get un-intentionally removed from our list - and let's take a collective stand and fight back.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming e-mails which will give you further proof of why these devices are totally INEFFECTIVE at reducing the road toll and specific steps on what each of you can do yourselves to help make a difference.

Outrageous incidents of Lies and Deception
We have been absolutely blown away by some of the stories that we have heard in the past few months of outrageous incidents of lies, deception and fraud by agents of the current corrupt system.
These unashamedly crooked agencies are going to extraordinary lengths to try and hide the truth from innocent motorists, trying to convince them not to exercise their rights and blatantly extorting money from them.
Now, we don't mind a little pre-trial blustering where the Prosecutor might tell you that their case is solid and you shouldn't waste their time fighting in court or things of that nature. We don't even mind them saying "Oh, that Aussie Speeding Fines mob, their stuff won't work. You should seek independent advice." Mind you, that's EXACTLY what we tell people in our book - do NOT just blindly believe ANYTHING we say - please use all the reference material that we provide to check and confirm it all for yourself first. Also, the numerous Testimonials - http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html - on our website - which are updated regularly - will prove, from an INDEPENDENT perspective, that our strategies DO, in fact, work!
But, what we will cover in this e-mail is FAR worse than that! Some of the stories that we have heard in the past month specifically have been absolutely INEXCUSABLE and we feel that we simply MUST make you aware of them. Again, please discuss the following scenarios with your friends and family and you will surely find that you know people who have heard of these as well and may have even been personally affected by them. Do NOT buy in this RUBBISH, follow the solutions hat we provide below and keep fighting!
To begin, we received an e-mail just a few days ago from one of our Members who had great intentions of helping people. The e-mail REPORTEDLY came from a guy who worked for "the speeding fine department of Brisbane Magistrate's Court". Now a simple phone call to Brisbane Magistrate's Court will obviously confirm that there is NO such department.
Now, the problem here is that this person was trying to convince people to use a VERY old and outdated method of overpaying a fine by a dollar or two and thus not incurring demerit points - we have included the whole e-mail below so you can see the ridiculous rubbish for yourself and also warn others against attempting this deceptive strategy:
"Worth a try...
Just thought I would share this with you, as you know I work in the speeding fine department in Brisbane's Magistrate's Court and in the course of my investigation into 'fines, their payment methods and how points are automatically added against drivers licences' we discovered something very interesting 'If You Get a Speeding Fine.' This has been tried and it works.
I have tried to send this to everyone I know. I know for a fact that it works so if you ever get in this situation, you have an out. We discovered that this procedure works nationwide. Read it and try it, you have nothing to lose but the points on your licence.
This is how it works:
If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, and you are going to get points on your licence, then there is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points. When you get your fine, send in the cheque to pay for it and if the fine is say, $140, then make the cheque out for $141 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a cheque for the difference, but here is the trick!
**DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHEQUE!!!** Throw it away!! Points are not assessed to your licence until all financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the cheque then the transactions are NOT complete.
However, the system has got its money and is happy and will not bother you any more. This information came to our attention from a very reliable computer company that sets up the standard database used by each county's computing system.
Good luck and share this with all your friends and other family members as well!!!"
So, we need to ask ourselves two very important questions, A) Who would initiate an e-mail like this and B) Why would they initiate an e-mail like this? Well, let's deal with B first and then A will become obvious. Thousands of people are now fighting their fines in court using the information and strategies from our e-book and winning. The court backlogs is out of control and more and more fines are ending up unpaid. We have provided all the media reports on the actual percentages and the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth fines that are lapsing each year as a result in some of our recent e-mails. Please let us know if you missed these figures and we will forward them to you.
So, the courts and the agencies they ultimately represent - by now you HAVE obviously figured out that the courts are there to keep the system going and NOT to actually administer Justice - are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year because people are fighting their fines rather than blindly paying them. So, they resurrect this old strategy - which DID actually work many years ago - in an attempt to get people to pay. They know that most people don't want to go to court and they know that most people are far more worried about demerit points than the actual fine. They figure that be re-releasing this story, people will go "Oh yeah, I remember hearing something about that" and then pay the fine in the hope that they won't lose demerit points. Of course then, it's too late, once the fine is paid, there is NOTHING more you can do. They have your money AND your demerit points and you got sucked in.
So PLEASE, if you want to pass around an e-mail, pass this one around NOT the one above! But seriously, how desperate must they really be to go to these lengths? We challenge anyone to find the person who originated that e-mail and have them charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice - by trying to scare people into paying and thereby eliminating their right to fight and seek justice - for attempting to obtain financial advantage by deception - because they deceived people with their story and got money as a result - and for impersonating an officer of the law - with their ridiculous claim that they worked for the Speeding Fine division of Brisbane Magistrate's court!
Okay, well an e-mail like that is bad enough. Hopefully most people would have been able to see through it very quickly. Unfortunately, we have other stories that are far more insidious and have far reaching implications on those who hear about them.
We received a report yesterday from a Member who was to appear in court over a simple traffic fine. Sadly, he suffered a heart attack the day before the hearing and was hospitalized. A family member notified the court of his dire medical situation and explained that he obviously wouldn't be able to make it to court as he was still in hospital. That family member then received an e-mail confirmation back from the court noting the situation.
Now, get this, the case went ahead the next day and the Magistrate found the Member guilty, issued a fine and then unbelievably entered into the court record that the Member was present in court! They say that Justice is blind but this is CRAZY!
How does a Magistrate, who has sworn to uphold the truth and administer justice impartially, get away with entering on a court record that a defendant appeared in court and was found guilty when he was miles away in hospital, has all the medical records to prove it and the Court themselves have notification on file of the situation AND they responded to it? Does the system get any more corrupt than that? Is this the legal system that you support? Is this Magistrate and all those out there doing similar things administering Justice and protecting you the way they are supposed to be?
The so-called "Justice" system is out of control and we MUST send a message back that this kind of behavior will NOT be tolerated. This Member has been advised to go to the media and expose this Magistrate as well as lodging a formal complaint with the Chief Justice over the matter as well. On that point, we urge ALL Members - and even our free report Subscribers - to go to the media and lodge a formal complain with the relevant body EVERY time they come across corruption or deception along the lines of any of these stories. If we contact the media every time ourselves then we are seen to be biased but if we can get more people from the general public getting on TV, radio or even their local paper and reporting stories along these lines then A) their system of corruption will quickly be exposed and B) more people will be inspired to fight back against it.
At the end of the day, obviously a simply application for re-hearing outlining the particulars of the situation will see the matter resolved from this Member's point of view but more MUST be done to send a message to those that are supposed to be working for US, that they MUST abide by the law and NOT sit there only to protect the "system".
Now, another similar story that we received from another Member was he had a Mention date - which is just where you plead Guilty or Not Guilty. If you plead Guilty then they will hear your explanation, find you guilty and then apply the appropriate sentence. However, if you plead Not Guilty, the case will be adjourned for a hearing date and that's when the Informant will be present to give evidence in the case against you. It is important to note that the Informant is NOT there on the first Mention date because they don't turn up in case you plead Guilty and then they're not needed - they don't want to waste time. Obviously you are encouraged to plead Guilty so they can get their money and run but, if you plead Not Guilty then they will do everything they can to fight.
One of the tricks they use is to get you into court to try and persuade you to plead Guilty and then, if you plead Not Guilty then they say "Well, you have to come back another day then because the Informant isn't here." They believe that you will get so frustrated that you have to take another day off work etc that you will just change your plea. That in itself is a very deceptive tactic. However, all our Members know that you can enter your plea without actually going to court.
Anyway, this Member did that, entered his plea of Not Guilty and then found out that the case was heard without him and his Not Guilty plea was completely ignored! We then advised him to write back in and A) request a re-hearing and B) request an investigation into the matter and have the Magistrate pursued for improper conduct - in that he ignored the Not Guilty plea and continued anyway.
Long story short, the Member was ultimately granted the re-hearing application but was then abused and threatened by the Chief Magistrate for his comment about the fact that the original Magistrate illegally ignored his Not Guilty plea. The Chief Magistrate even went as far as to quote completely irrelevant and outdated Laws from 1886 in an attempt to excuse the actions of the previous Magistrate. Again, we submit that there is NO excuse for such blatant abuse of power and corrupt tactics.
Okay, another situation we have had reported to us by a number of Members has been the issue of them attending court, being told by the Magistrate that he recognizes that they have not committed the offence but orders them to pay the fine anyway and suggests that he will not record a conviction and demerit points will not be applied. Now, in and of itself this would seem to be yet another abuse of power and have an element of corruption to it. If you are not guilty and a conviction is not recorded against then why should you have to pay the fine? Once again, this just PROVES that the whole system of traffic fines is simply set up to raise revenue.
Now, all our Members know that due to a particular section of the Constitution and 4 sections of the Currency Act, you cannot lawfully pay this court ordered fine anyway so it really doesn't matter and they are often happy with this deal because they were ultimately worried about the demerit points anyhow.
However, what happens next is that they receive notification from their "record keeping agency" (Vicroads, RTA etc.)- and it is important to remember that term because that is all they are - that demerit points have been applied to their licence. They then write back to the agency and explain that the Magistrate clearly ordered the demerit points NOT be applied as they were not convicted of the so-called "offence" and they are told some rubbish about the Magistrate not having authority to order that.
Yet, when you look up the relevant legislation it is clear that the Magistrate is the ONLY person authorized to make such a ruling and these agencies are in breach of the record keeping requirements by entering the reduced demerit points. Now, it usually take a few letters back and forth and a threat of court action against them to rectify the situation but again, why should we be forced to do that? A Magistrate has ordered NO demerit points to be applied yet the agencies then take it upon themselves to illegally take demerit points AGAINST the ruling of a Magistrate. This is how absolutely out of control the current system is!
And finally, one of the most common deceptive strategies employed by these corrupt agencies, to extort money from people by scaring them into paying up, is the continued threat of costs. Now, we go into great detail in the e-book to combat this but, because this is one of the biggest fears that people have in relation to fighting their fines in court we wanted to clear this up here and now. So, for all those people that think we are just out to make money from our e-book and why don't we give out information for free, how about this for a freebie?
Article 15 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights clearly states that "No-one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time when the criminal offence was committed. If, subsequent to the commission of the offence, provision is made by law for the imposition of the lighter penalty, the offender shall benefit thereby."
This was brought into effect by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Act 1986 and you are welcome to go and confirm this for yourselves. The courts can NOT legally add costs on - even if you lose - for a criminal offence! So please, do not be frightened off from fighting back and defending yourself by these wild and baseless accusations of "You will be lumped with all these extra costs if you lose and you will definitely lose." etc. etc.
As always, we urge you to share this information with everyone in your contacts list - don't forget to delete the Unsubscribe link at the bottom so someone doesn't inadvertently remove you from our mailing list.
We trust that this information will disgust and appal you as it has done us and will cause you to fight back even harder than ever before. If you are not yet a Member, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html right now to join the team that is committed to exposing the TRUTH about these corrupt agencies and providing you with the information and strategies to avoid being a victim of this corruption yourself.

Our latest success
Just a quick e-mail to bring you up to date with some of our current progress and a couple of points in particular which highlight how corrupt the current system is and how what you are all doing is working brilliantly.
Firstly, there was an article in the Herald Sun last week in Melbourne about 2 guys who are fighting back and making some GREAT headway. You will note that they have both successfully had speed camera fines overturned and they are now trying to expose the unreliability of both fixed and mobile speed cameras. Now, before you read the story below we want to say that this is NOT what we recommend that all our Members do, in fact, we explain quite clearly that you should NOT try and set a massive precedent but simply win your own case by creating reasonable doubt with your specific situation.
Having said that though, the whole point of our e-book is to inspire and empower people to fight back in any way they can and these guys are doing a brilliant job. Check out their story below: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,24977273-2862,00.html
Now, the most important line in that entire story is where the Police barrister, Mr Robert Taylor specifically states that he was arguing against releasing the documents they want because it would prove that all "fixed speed cameras were generally unreliable." Now, the text book definition of "corruption" is trying to hide the truth from the very people that you are sworn to protect.
Now, this is EXACTLY what we have been saying all along. People need to eliminate their old flawed belief that speed cameras are generally accurate and every so often get it wrong and understand precisely what the police barrister is saying, which is that these cameras are basically inaccurate and every so often they get it right!
In fact, we are just finalizing our research at the moment and will be sending out an update in the next week that PROVES once and for all, by a number of independent studies from all around the world, that these ridiculous revenue raising devices do NOT save lives and should be removed from our roads immediately. Following on from that we will be officially launching our Australia-wide petition to have speed cameras removed from service across Australia just as they have been in Canada, Hawaii and a number of states in the U.S. Stay tuned for these exciting e-mails.
And, speaking of staying tuned. We are just finishing off the latest e-book update. We know it has been a while since the last one but we assure you all that this one will be well worth the wait. On top of all the general bits and pieces that we add in with a formal update, we have a brand new tried and tested strategy that we have now perfected over the past 6 months to have multiple fines reduced to a single fine. So, if you know anyone who has received a number of fines from the same area in a short period of time then this is going to be a God-send for them.
So, all current Members should keep their eye on their e-mail box over the next few weeks to receive this free update and any of you reading this who are not yet Members, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and become a Member so you can take advantage of this new information as soon as it is released.
And, a final note to show you all what a HUGE impact you are all having on the current system. As you know, we encourage EVERYONE to fight EVERY ticket they receive, if for no other reason than to clog up "the system" and cause the kind of result that we reported on in our last e-mail - which showed that thousands of court orders were lapsing each day because they simply couldn't keep up with the demand. In case you missed the e-mail, or you found that they changed the location of the story (which is VERY interesting in itself) then click the link below to read the article: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,24929628-2862,00.html
Anyway, there was another story in the Herald Sun last week which reported on the number of backlogs in the court system. There were literally thousands of cases waiting to be heard and over 27% of cases had been waiting over 12 months. Now, as we explain in the e-book, if they don't initiate proceedings within a 12 month period then they cannot take action. And, any delay in the proceedings once they are issued all goes in your favour because demerit points are valid for less time, Informants leave the job, forget the details of the fine etc.
Now, we are quite concerned that after the last story we sent everyone - see the notes above - they then changed the location of the story. This latest story wasn't even uploaded to the net so we can't send you a link. It appeared in Monday, February 2nd edition of the paper on page 15 but we have a pdf version of the article if you would like us to send it to you.
So, once again, we would like to thank you all for your continued support. You are doing a GREAT job and we really ARE making an impact. Once we send out the facts and figures on the speed camera research that has been done worldwide then you are sure to be blown away. Then, when we release the on-line petition we will need ALL your help to get as many signatures as we can and finally have these ridiculous revenue raising devices removed from service in this county.
As always, we encourage you to pass these e-mails on to all your contacts but we found out that a number of people were accidentally un-subscribed from our service because they forwarded an e-mail on and then the recipient used the unsubscribe link and un-knowingly removed Members from our system. So, if you're going to forward this on then please remove the Un-subscribe line from the bottom first to save that happening to you.

Important Australia Day information
Firstly, we would like to wish you all a very happy Australia Day. Now, it is worth quickly asking the question "What does it really mean to be Australian?" Aussies are known for their "fair dinkum" attitude, their sense of "fair play" and also for their convictions and their willingness to help the "Aussie battler".
Unfortunately, the time has come where we, as Australian motorists, are now the Aussie battlers. We are battling for our Constitutional rights to drive freely on our roads - Section 92 of the commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) clearly states "On the imposition of uniform duties of customs, trade, commerce, and intercourse among the States, whether by means of internal carriage or ocean navigation, shall be absolutely free."
We are also battling for our fundamental right to be considered innocent until proven guilty - Section 8, Sub Section 12 of the Imperial Acts Application Act clearly states; "That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction, are illegal and void."
The average Aussie drives on some form of road every day, and most people take care, they focus on what they are doing yet they are still being punished unfairly. Sure, there are some idiots out there doing the wrong thing but that will always be the case. And, as is almost always ALSO the case, it is the INNOCENT motorists that are being punished and NOT the idiots who should be.
The article below confirms that even more unjust and unlawful cameras are being set up every day. This particular article is form a Western Australian paper but, as we're sure you are all aware, this is going on ALL around Australia. In fact, WA, probably still has the LEAST number of cameras operating compared to other states.

So, why is it that we, the INNOCENT and HONEST motorists of Australia, those with strong convictions, who thrive on helping each other out in tough times are still standing idly by and blindly paying fines that we simply should NOT be?
Do we still really believe that these cameras are somehow reducing the road toll? How can this be when EVERY piece of HONEST research shows the exact OPPOSITE? If you have ANY doubts about this, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html right now and read the ACTUAL statistics, in some cases, from the very government agencies that are issuing the fines in the first place. We have conclusive PROOF that speed is only "a" factor in 5% of crashes. This means that 95% of accidents have NOTHING to do with speed!!! That's right, read that again, NINETY FIVE percent of accidents have NOTHING to do with speed!
So, why do they keep shoving this absolute RUBBISH down our throats each day that these speed cameras are about saving lives. The simple mathematics PROVE that it is just about revenue raising.
Look at the figures in that article again and find a 10 year old with a calculator to explain it to you in simple terms:
WA currently has 25 speed cameras and 30 red light cameras.
These numbers are set to "at least double"
A speed camera costs $170,000 and a red light camera costs $80,000
To double the current number would provide the following equation:
25 X $170,000 = $4,250,000
30 X $80,000 = $2,400,000
So, the total cost of doubling the number of cameras currently used would therefore be $6,650,000.
Now, further down the article, it states that a third of all camera revenue or $15 million, whichever is highest, goes to the Road Trauma Trust Fund. So, if they don't get the $15 million from the cameras, then where do they get it from? OBVIOUSLY, they get it from the cameras.
So, now let's do the maths again. Let's assume that the Road Trauma Trust Fund ONLY gets the minimum guaranteed $15 million. We've established that it MUST come from the cameras, because they can't get it from anywhere else and unless someone would like to show us a government budget that shows money for that fund coming from anywhere else, then it simply MUST come from camera revenue.
But the article says that it MUST be one third of camera revenue or $15 million, whichever is HIGHER. Therefore, since they can't get the $15 million from anywhere else then one third of camera revenue HAS TO BE equal to or greater than $15 million. That means that they must generate $45 million in revenue from these cameras.
Now, you don't have to be Warren Buffet to know that a $45 million return on a $6.65 million investment is a great deal. And, if you could do that deal many times over then why wouldn't you? And that is EXACTLY what is happening in states like Victoria, NSW and Queensland, the number of new cameras being introduced is completely out of control because of this simple calculation. They are making a 675% profit from every camera they install!
The simple fact is that the line "But Mr Johnson, who flagged more red-light cameras last September, said the cost would be offset quickly by infringement fines." simply says it ALL. It is all about increasing the number of infringements, NOTHING to do with actual road safety. Please remember that their ultimate justification for these devices is that they save lives. They pathetically attempt to justify this baseless lie by suggesting that speed cameras cause people to slow down and therefore lives are saved. Well, as we pointed out via the statistics on our website (see a few paragraphs above), the connection between speed and accidents is totally flawed, as is the argument that speed cameras make people slow down.
Again, explain this to a 10 year old and see what response you get:
How can a ticket that you receive in the mail 2 weeks or more AFTER an event has happened actually slow you down? It is simply NOT possible. Perhaps, maybe, at a stretch, if they painted these cameras bright yellow and made them obvious, or the fixed camera locations were made public - as they are in Victoria - then you MIGHT, at best, be able to claim that a speed camera caused someone to slow down MOMENTARILY, as they drove past it but how on earth can they claim that a "hidden" camera - which they are promoting in this article - can achieve this? The fact, is that they CAN'T and again, the mathematics proves it.
If cameras really DID cause people to slow down then why are they issuing MORE Infringement Notices in EVERY state of Australia than ever before? Also, how can they possibly budget for a MINIMUM of $15 million in revenue (which is just ONE third, remember) if they actually believe that people will slow down and therefore they won't have to pay a fine because these cameras are such an effective deterrent? It simply does NOT add up and it is NOW time to do something about it.
We would urge you ALL to keep an eye out in your papers and other media for articles such as this and continue to send them to us. Obviously, we have a LOT on our plate and we can't look out for every new media article that is released so it is our Members that help to keep us up to date. We would rather receive notification 10 times about an article than miss it all together. Also, we would urge you ALL to pass these e-mails around to EVERYONE you know who drives in this country so we can get as many people fighting back at once as possible - that is the ONLY way we are going to ultimately change this corrupt and inefficient system. And, finally, the best way to get through is to write back to the various reporters and direct them to our website or send them messages of your own making it clear that the people of Australia do NOT want these devices, they do NOT believe in them anymore and they will NOT be paying the unlawful and unjust fines issued by these devices any longer.
Please remember, these agencies do NOT care about the road toll, they ONLY care about the revenue. If they TRULY cared about the road toll then surely SOMEONE would have approached us in the past 18 months and at least spoken to us about the NUMEROUS well-researched strategies that we have for reducing the road toll in Australia. Instead, we are attacked and websites are put up making false and baseless claims that our information doesn't work.
The weekly influx of Testimonials we receive from all around Australia PROVES that our strategies work and it further proves that these agencies are NOT concerned about our strategies for reducing the road toll, they are concerned about our strategies that show people exactly how and why they should NEVER pay any kind of traffic fine again!
Now, as we have said MANY times before, if we could just walk into Parliament and give them our strategies and know that they would be implemented, then we never would have created this website or e-book in the first place. But, the TRUTH is that these agencies are earning ONE BILLION DOLLARS a year from these unjust and unlawful fines and the ONLY way we will get them to stop is NOT when the road toll changes but when their INCOME reduces AND the road toll is still going up. That way, they are left with egg all over their faces, they have all these cameras issuing fines that no-one is paying anymore and the road toll still hasn't improved so they HAVE to admit that we were right all along and change the system.
So, let's get back to that article again for a moment because there is even more in there that affects every one of you. They go on to mention that "Cameras were not the sole solution, but were an important part of a comprehensive strategy, including a more visible police presence, safer roads and safer vehicles" but NOWHERE did they give ANY figures of how the roads were going to be improved or how much money would be provided to build new roads. No figures were provided for how many new traffic cops would be on the road or an amount to fund the numbers of police needed. And there was certainly NO mention of ANY kind of ANYTHING to do with ANY initiatives for increasing vehicle safety. As we have said all along, we have the safest vehicles of all time on our roads yet we are still restricted to road rules that were created for vehicles 50 years ago!
Please read over ALL the strategies - on our Vision for the Future page - that we believe need to be implemented to ACTUALLY improve road safety for ALL motorists, not the ridiculous EXCUSES provided in articles such as this.
If you haven't yet become a Member, please go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html now BEFORE it's too late. With all the new flawed cameras that are going up each day it is only a matter of time before you receive an unjust and unlawful fine. Remember, prevention is better than cure and having our information at hand BEFORE you receive a fine is the BEST prevention you can have.
As for their ridiculous claims that "If you obey the law and don't speed you pay nothing in fines, regardless of how many cameras there are." If it was that simple then, as we stated above, why are more people being fined than ever before? Why are their more segments on A Current Affair and similar shows about faulty cameras, cars being done for speeds they couldn't possibly be doing etc. than ever before? Our e-book exposes the TRUTH about these flawed devices.
Did you know that most cameras are set up across multi-lane roads? This way, one car can trigger the camera (quite possibly without actually exceeding the speed limit) and up to FOUR cars can actually be photographed. The agency then sends the fine to ALL four motorists thereby receiving four times the revenue from just ONE motorist, who probably didn't even do anything wrong in the first place and the other 3 are completely INNOCENT victims of this scam that goes on EVERY day on major roads around Australia!
This is just one of the MANY deceptive and unlawful tactics that these agencies use to extort money from INNOCENT motorists. Slowing down is NOT going to help you one iota in a situation like this so please don't be fooled by the rubbish that the media promotes about these devices. Grab a copy of our e-book and learn the TRUTH before it is too late.
Remember, we offer a FULL 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by reading our information. If you don't have a fine yet, then our e-book will ensure that you are fully prepared for the inevitable, when it does finally happen and, not only that, but we guarantee that you will be blown away by all the information that we have in our e-book that doesn't even specifically relate to avoiding unjust fines but focuses more on ACTUAL road safety initiatives and freedom for all Australian motorists.
We have Members from all walks of life, from all states of Australia and we have been around for over 18 months now and have only had a dozen requests for a refund so you can be GUARANTEED that our information will be of great interest and will be an invaluable resource - in fact, we believe that it will be the BEST motoring investment you EVER make.
So please, become a Member today, pass this e-mail around to EVERYONE you know and let this be the year that we finally put an end to these ridiculous revenue raising cameras and we finally improve road safety for ALL motorists in Australia.
Stay safe on the roads and have a bloody ripper Australia Day!

Confirmation of our Greatest Success so far!
We have just received media confirmation of our GREATEST overall success to date. Now, no matter which state you live in you MUST read the article below from the Herald Sun newspaper in Victoria because it will ultimately affect EVERYONE, no matter what state of Australia you live in.
We are aware that the actions proposed in the article below already exist in some other states, but that is NOT why we have sent this article. The key is to look carefully at the facts and figures presented in the article and to see what a HUGE impact our Members are now making.
Victoria has the lowest speed tolerances of ALL states in Australia, they issue MORE fines than any other state in Australia yet their road toll was the HIGHEST of all states over the recent Christmas period. This PROVES beyond ANY doubt that speed detection devices are ONLY there for raising revenue and NOTHING else.
These agencies are now going to unbelievable lengths - no matter how illegal (as we will explain in a moment) - to try and recover fines that are simply NOT being paid by people who are effectively using our system!
Please, take a moment to click the link below and read the article and then read the subsequent points we raise:
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,24930449-662,00.html
Firstly, "During 2007-08, more than 332,000 such orders lapsed because no action was taken." Aussie Speeding Fines began in April of 2007 and we have been informing and educating people on the most effective strategies for avoiding unjust and unlawful fines since then. Interestingly, the article explains that "The biggest jump was between 2007-08 and the previous year; an extra 81,000 enforcement orders lapsed." This was PRECISELY when Members started using our information to fight back!
So, if you had ANY doubt at all as to whether our strategies really worked and whether we were REALLY making an impact, you can now well and truly rest assured. Please also be sure to take a few moments to read over all the Testimonials from our current Members at www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
Also, if you have ANY doubt that these fines were just about revenue raising and had NOTHING to do with safety at all then read the following line again: "During 2006-07, 4.1 million infringement notices were issued across all organisations." Now, go and multiply 4.1 million by an average fine of $100odd dollars and you begin to understand why they are absolutely bleeding and going to these extraordinary lengths to try and save themselves.
Now, at this point some of you may be concerned as to how to deal with these new developments. Well, as you know, here at Aussie Speeding Fines, we are always one step ahead and we already have the answers for you:
1.Neither Rob Hulls, nor anyone else for that matter, can suspend your car registration. You see, your car is ALWAYS registered, because it remains on the Vicroads (or other state equivalent) database for life. For example, if you decide to put your car into storage and therefore not pay your registration fee for say 10 years and then decided on put your car back on the road, you would simply get a roadworthy and then pay the registration fee at that time and away you'd go - your car would still be there on the database, they would NOT actually enter the details again. Now, since there is no such fine for "failing to pay a registration fee" then it is irrelevant. The charge of driving an un-registered vehicle is a false and baseless charge.
2.If you provide Vicroads with the required fee at the time of registration renewal and they fail to renew your registration then you can sue them. Vicroads, like all other similar companies (NSW RTA, Queensland Transport etc.) are exactly that, they are a COMPANY, they are NOT a government body. So, they have no right to take action, or not take an action (such as failing to renew your registration, if you pay the required fee) that would cause you to be in breach of a law. Also, if they do not accept your payment then they have no right to make any claim against you down the track for that money as you have tendered a valid payment and they have not accepted it. So, in essence, they would actually have to renew your registration for free!
3.Section 8, Sub-section 12 of the Imperial Acts Application Act 1980 clearly states, "That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction, are illegal and void." So, if you haven't been to court and been convicted then ANY fine is illegal and void and they cannot force you to forfeit your registration. Our e-book also has further details of why any conviction is invalid anyway, even if you HAVE been to court.
4.Even if the above didn't exist, you can't lawfully and Constitutionally pay the fine anyway, given Section 115 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) and sections 9, 11, 16 and 22 of the Currency Act 1965.
So, this attempt to SCARE motorists into paying their fines is tantamount to EXTORTION and/or BLACKMAIL and we explain, in much greater detail than above, in our e-book EXACTLY how to fight back against these outlandish scare tactics.
And finally, of greatest concern to us is the line by shadow attorney-general Robert Clarke which states that "While the honest motorist pays the fine, even if they believe it is unfair, the defaulters who thumb their nose at the law are getting away with it," Now please read that line and hopefully you will be as utterly disgusted as we were - "HONEST motorists pays their fine, even if they believe it was UNFAIR!" Now, how can that possibly be justice?
How can we possibly stand by for even another day and allow this kind of thing to go on? WE are the ones who elected these people to look after US and our interests, yet here we have these same people urging or commending people - who are INNOCENT - for paying fines that they believe are unfair! This is an OUTRAGE and we MUST continue our fight.
The line about "defaulters thumbing their nose at the law" is a complete twist of the facts. These so-called "defaulters" are our Members who know their RIGHTS, they know why the so-called "laws" they refer to are actually NOT law at all and, as the article says, they are fighting back and winning!
This article PROVES that we are making some serious headway but there is still MUCH to be done. So please, we would ask you ALL to pass this e-mail onto to your ENTIRE database - anyone and everyone who drives a motor vehicle in this country needs to be aware of this information.
We urge all of you who have not yet become Members and who do not yet have access to ALL our information and Resources to do so ASAP and we would ask you to urge everyone you know to also join us and put an end to this crazy and corrupt system that would treat INNOCENT and HONEST motorists - by their own definition - as criminals.
Thank you one and all for your continued support and your efforts in making this success story a reality and please urge everyone you know to go to www.aussiespeedingfines.com straight away and join the ranks of truly informed and educated motorists in this country.

Holiday road toll figures - it's time to make a REAL change!
Firstly, the Team at Aussie Speeding Fines would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. We trust you all enjoyed your break and had a safe time on our roads over the holiday period.
Speaking of which, the figures have been released for the recent Christmas holiday period and unfortunately, it will be no surprise to many of you that the National holiday road toll figure INCREASED by over 16% for the 2008/2009 Christmas period over the previous figures for the 2007/2008 period. You can see the statistics for yourself via the links below
Australian Government Statistics page providing 07/08 holiday road toll figures:
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/road_fatality_statistics/holidays.aspx
National 9 News report for /08/09 holiday road toll figures:
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=706104
Now, the fact that 56 people died on our roads this holiday period as opposed the 48 that died in the same period last year is bad enough BUT this is only HALF the story.
The fact that is NOT reported is how many MORE inaccurate and unlawful speed detection devices are now operating across the country over and above the ridiculous number that were already operating last year. Furthermore, there is no report, that we can find, that shows how much MONEY was generated from these devices over the holiday period.
As we have said ALL along, these devices are NOT a deterrent. There is NO point sending someone out a ticket a week or more AFTER they have supposedly exceeded some arbitrary speed limit! That is not going to save ANYONE'S life and, as the figures PROVE, it is certainly NOT going to reduce the road toll.
Enough is now enough, we simply MUST make 2009 the year that we ALL get together and FORCE the governments of this country to listen to our collective voices and REMOVE these illegal an inaccurate devices from our roads. People no longer believe in the effectiveness of speed cameras, we have shown time and again that speed is one of the smallest contributing factors in accidents, NOT the largest as the so-called "authorities" try and tell us.
Speed cameras are simply about revenue raising and NOTHING else. We have asked ANYONE to prove to us that they do ANYTHING other than cause people to slow down momentarily as they pass a known fixed camera site and then resume the speed they were previously driving at and NO-ONE has been able to give us ANY information to the contrary.
So, we urge you ALL to take action, get a copy of our updated 85 page e-book and follow the simple step-by-step strategies to fight back and SHOW these agencies that we will no longer accept their unjust and unlawful fines and that collectively, we will NOT stop until these devices have been switched off and taken down, just as they were a few years ago in Hawaii.
Sure, this is a one BILLION dollar industry but TOGETHER we really CAN make a difference. Just by fighting your own fines you stop the flow of money into the government coffers. Your actions will, in turn, inspire others to take similar action and they too will further reduce the flow of money. Then, finally, when the money flow is reduced to a dribble they will be faced with the unshakable TRUTH that these devices do NOT work, they are NOT a deterrent, they do NOT save lives and now, they don't even make money. So, they will HAVE to be switched off. Remember, that it is OUR hard working tax dollars that pay for these devices and we have a right to say where we want our money to go.
And please, go to our website now, www.aussiespeedingfines.com BEFORE you get a fine because we have strategies that will help you avoid receiving an unjust fine in the first place and we can show you how to EFFECTIVELY deal with these unlawful fines from the moment you receive them. Remember, the moment you open the envelope you have missed one of the simplest strategies for avoiding the fine.
Please, urge EVERYONE who know who drives on our roads to become a Member and let's make THIS the year that our roads TRULY do become SAFER for everyone. Also, don't forget to join our Affiliate program and earn commissions just by referring people to our site. If just 3 members join as a result of your recommendation then your Membership is, in essence, FREE. Please see the affiliate link on our website for further details.
Thanks and have a safe, successful and prosperous 2009!

Christmas promo update & Current Affair story
Just a quick follow up from last week's e-mail - there is just ONE week to go in our 25% OFF Christmas discount offer. As those of you who are current Members would know, we have only ever run a discount promotion twice in 18 months so this is the IDEAL time to either become a member or to purchase a membership for your friends, family or work colleagues - as a discounted offer like this is unlikely to come again for a very long time.
Also, in case you missed it, A Current Affair ran yet ANOTHER story on faulty and inaccurate speed cameras last week. You can see the full story here:
http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-au&brand=ninemsn&tab=m164 The video is called "Two Speed Cameras" and it will come up on the bottom of the first page of videos or top of the second page - depending on when you click through to view it.
How many more of these stories have to go to air before people finally "get it" that these speed detection devices are fundamentally FLAWED and only occasionally get it right - NOT the other way around!
How many INNOCENT motorists have to be fined - or worse still, have their licences SUSPENDED - before people will wake up to the TRUTH, that these devices are NOT about improving the road toll, they are simply about raising REVENUE!
The Christmas period is traditionally the WORST for people being unfairly fined as a result of inaccurate and unlawful speed detection devices. Should people be fined or taken off the road for drink driving? ABSOLUTELY! But what about "speeding"?
We urge you ALL to keep an eye out on the news over the next month or so and see just how many accidents occur on a freeway or ring road at 112km/h. Take note of how many people are killed in a 60 zone because they were ALLEGEDLY traveling at 67 km/h. Despite what these agencies try and shove down your throats, speed does NOT kill!!!
These are NOT where the accidents occur. They occur at intersections, because people aren't paying attention and they occur on open, outback roads because people FALL ASLEEP because drivers are so BORED at driving so SLOWLY!
Enough is enough, it is time for ALL Australian motorists to send a message to these so-called "authorities" that we no longer want to live in police states and we will no longer accept these unjust and unlawful fines.
Go to http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Memberships.html and become a member TODAY or join up a friend, family member or someone else you care about to inform and educate as many people as you can on why this must no longer be tolerated and the simple step-by-step actions that everyone can take to help get our message across:
We want SAFER roads for ALL motorists. We want increased driver training for ALL motorists and we want what Section 92 of our Commonwealth Constitution provides for - FREE travel amongst the states of Australia!
If you have ANY doubts as to the effectiveness of our information and strategies then PLEASE take a few moment to read over the MANY Testimonials we have on our site at: http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Testimonials.html
But please, don't wait until you get a fine because then the simplest strategies to implement will already have been missed. Get our information BEFORE you get fined to protect yourself against the current ineffective and corrupt system.
And, don't forget, you can actually earn MONEY by becoming an ASF Affiliate. Just click the link below, follow the instructions and be sure to select the ASF Products link and start earning money NOW for Christmas by simply helping spread the word and empowering other motorists to fight back against an unjust and unlawful system! http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Affiliates.html
We look forward to welcoming you, your family, loved ones and work colleagues to our team in the very near future and we wish you all a safe and enjoyable Christmas out there on the roads.

The End is Near!
We would like to apologise for all the additional e-mails we have sent you lately but things are REALLY starting to heat up now and we believe that you are better off receiving more information rather than less.
We would also like to apologise for sending you references to Victorian media reports. We have found that due to the EXTREMELY low speed limit tolerances in Victoria and the number of regular media reports that come out from Melbourne, in respect to the consistently inaccurate cameras there, that we simply get more feedback from our Victorian Members than from other states.
So please, if you are from ANY state in Australia and come across a media report in your mainstream or even local papers about unjust speed cameras, parking fines, red light cameras, etc. then please forward them to us so we can pass the information around.
After our last update, we received a HEAP of feedback from people that have successfully fought back against unjust and unlawful fines and won. Please, keep them coming and see the new additions on our testimonials page to see a selection of the latest ones. People constantly question us as to whether our strategies really work and whether people really have a chance if they fight back. The more feedback we get and more testimonials we can put up on our website, the more quickly we will be able to answer these questions with a resounding YES.
Okay, onto the information at hand. As we have made clear in the heading of our e-mail - the end is near. How do we know this? Because these agencies are now going to totally ridiculous - and completely USELESS lengths - to try and convince people that speed cameras are in ANY way effective.
So many people are now fighting back and there is now SO much media attention focussed on these useless money grabbing devices that the police and government agencies are struggling to keep them. We are led to believe that Today Tonight are about to run another major story exposing yet another faulty red light camera in Melbourne within the next week or so.
In the past, the response from these agencies when questioned about these devices being hidden and being about revenue raising has been a simple "Well, if you don't like it, don't speed" type of response. As you will read in a moment, this is no longer the case.
As we have now made ABUNDANTLY clear, it is NOT as simple as just slowing down or stopping at a red light. There are just SO many devices out there and they are SO fundamentally flawed that whether you are "speeding" or not (or enter an intersection on green or orange) has almost NO relevance to whether or not you will, over time, receive a ticket.
And, as we have also said ALL along, whether you break some arbitrary speed limit by 5 or 6 km/h has almost NO relevance to whether or not you will have an accident.
Finally, in their last desperate effort to retain these revenue raising devices, the Victoria Police Service (a private entity) and the so-called "Justice Department of Victoria" have finally PROVEN what we have been saying all along.
In their latest and perhaps most fraudulent claim that "Cameras Cut Crashes" website, the Victorian Justice Department have pulled out some completely obscure NORWEGIAN study from FOUR years ago in a pathetic attempt to back up this ridiculous claim.
Check it out for yourselves at: http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/Road+Safety/Home/Speeding/
They try and force this rubbish down our throats yet the fact remains that the road toll across Victoria has NOT reduced at all despite the number of speed cameras INCREASING dramatically!
A FULL report on the road toll Australia-wide can be found at the following link:
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/publications/2008/pdf/mrf0608.pdf
Please note the graph on the first page of this report that shows absolutely NO change at all in the road toll from June '04 to June '07 - when speed cameras were STRONGLY promoted as "saving lives".
The TRUTH is that a speed camera NEVER saved a SINGLE person's life. The absolute BEST claim that anyone can make about speed cameras is that they make people more aware of their speed. And, as we have PROVEN through our statistics (please see the Crash Statistics link on this page if you haven't already): http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html "speeding" is only A factor in 5% of accidents!
Speed cameras are nothing more than revenue raising devices and NO-ONE has been able to show ANY statistics that prove otherwise. When is someone going to stand up and sue the government for false and mis-leading advertising? Any big shot lawyers out there that want to make a name for themselves???
Okay, let's move on. In yet another pathetic attempt to scare the very people that they are supposed to be protecting, the Department of Justice then put up a page which intimates that ALL speed detection devices are properly tested and certified and that these certificates can then be used against you in court should you try and challenge them:
http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/Road+Safety/Home/Traffic+Cameras/Camera+Maintenance/
Of course, they FORGET to mention that NONE of the testing is actually conducted by anyone certified to test these devices pursuant to Section 10 of the National Measurement Act and that these devices are NOT tested as they are required to be by the relevant manufacturers. NO certificate that is EVER issued for a speed camera ever has ALL the required details - ie. Ambient temperature at the time of testing etc.
Then, in a COMPLETE turn around of their "We're not hiding anything" response when asked why fixed cameras are hidden behind signs and trees and why all mobile cameras are placed in unmarked cars, they have now listed all the fixed and mobile camera sites:
http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/Road+Safety/Home/Traffic+Cameras/Types+of+Cameras/RSAFETY+-+Fixed+Digital+Speed+Camera+Locations
http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/Road+Safety/Home/Traffic+Cameras/RSAFETY+-+Victoria+Police+-+Mobile+Speed+Camera+Locations+%28PDF%29
Now, ask yourselves, why would they go to these lengths unless they absolutely HAD to? Because they KNOW that the general public is losing confidence in these devices more and more each day and they are trying everything they can to APPEAR transparent.
Which brings us to the smoking gun that they have shot now THEMSELVES in the foot with:
http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/Road+Safety/Home/Traffic+Cameras/RSAFETY+-+Mobile+Cameras+Policy+Manual+%28PDF%29
The Department of Justice have finally made the Speed Camera Policy Manual freely available but obviously forgot to read it before they put it up because it proves once and for all that they failed MISERABLY to achieve their objectives:
From page 4: "To achieve the ESSENTIAL ingredient of community support and program ownership, there must be a POPULAR belief that the enforcement is fair, impartial and objectively administered in the community interest based on the ACHIEVEMENT of road safety objectives."
The "essential ingredient of community support" is simply NOT there. There is NO "popular belief that the enforcement is fair" and they have NOT "achieved" any "road safety objectives"!
In fact, there are at least 2 massive class actions - one against a speed camera in Sydney and another against a red light camera in Melbourne - that we have heard about. The REALITY is that the community at large does NOT support these cameras, instead, people are now banding together to fight back against these unjust and unlawful devices.
They then go on to say "To ACHIEVE these objectives in the most effective manner, the enforcement activity MUST be consistent, meaningful and applied at the high-risk times of the day."
Sure, it's consistent alright - they have a speed camera on almost every corner now - but it is NOT meaningful and, would they have us believe that there is something special about a fixed camera over a mobile camera that means that the fixed camera should NOT be turned off at non high-risk times of the day? If mobile cameras should only be used at high-risk times of the day - which, of course, is NOT always the case - then why are fixed cameras allowed to operate 24/7?
Finally, they go on to say that "Mobile speed camera use at PROPERLY selected sites will also be able to stand public scrutiny, clearly demonstrating fair and reasonable speed enforcement in the interests of IMPROVING road safety through the enforcement of the designated speed limits."
How are these sites properly selected? They tell us on Page 5 of that manual that a site MUST have either a documented history of a serious collision or a validated complaint of excessive speed. So, how exactly did they manage to put up numerous fixed cameras on the new Eastlink road before a SINGLE car ever drove on it, let alone drive at excessive speed or have a serious collision???
Oh that's right, fixed cameras are somehow MAGICALLY better than mobile cameras and can therefore be used anywhere and at any time and they for some UNKNOWN reason - because the Department of Justice have certainly failed to explain it - they don't have to follow the same guidelines as mobile cameras.
Their policies are a complete JOKE and they don't even abide by them themselves!!!
As we have said all along, the road toll is NOT going down and speed cameras are clearly NOT a deterrent. These cameras achieve NOTHING other than to fill the government coffers with your hard-earned money. Please, if you haven't been there already, go to our Vision for the Future page at http://www.aussiespeedingfines.com/pages/Vision-for-the-Future.html and see with WILL ultimately make the roads safer for ALL users.
As we mentioned earlier, we apologise for the fact these past two e-mails have been Victorian based but it just seems that people in Victoria are more vocal and have been screwed over far worse than those in other states. We KNOW there must be similar reports right around the country and we rely on our members Australia-wide to inform us of what's going on because we obviously can't read everything.
Once again, we urge you to pass these e-mails on to EVERYONE you know and urge them to get a copy of our e-book BEFORE they get a fine so that they are FULLY informed and fully prepared for when the inevitable happens.
These websites and the previous media reports we sent out PROVE that people have had enough and they are fighting back. It won't be too long now before Australia is able to join the ranks of Hawaii and Canada (see our testimonials page) and have its citizens fight back and have these illegal revenue raising devices removed from so-called "service" on our roads!

Proof that our information works
Just a quick one, we FINALLY have a MAJOR breakthrough for all those who doubt or question our information. Please click the link below to access an article that appeared in this week's Sunday Herald Sun in Melbourne.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,24118797-2862,00.html
Please note the opening line "HALF of all fine recipients in Victoria who challenge tickets succeed in having them dropped" This is GREAT news for anyone currently using our system or anyone who is contemplating using our system. The sad news, however, comes in at line 4 "But only 6 per cent of the four million Victorians fined in 2006-07 challenged them." We simply MUST get more people to challenge their fines and bring down this ridiculous system.
So, PLEASE, forward this e-mail onto EVERYONE you know and let's put an end to the unjust and unlawful fines that are being forced upon the innocent citizens of this country.

Paying your fine at the last minute - should you want to
Well, we have been extremely busy since our last update and, even as we write, we are in process of putting together yet another e-book update which we release early next month.
In the meantime, we have had MANY queries from people saying that they have elected to go to court and they then decided to pay the original fine at the last minute only to have the agency concerned return the fine and incorrectly and ILLEGALLY tell them that they couldn’t accept the payment and they now had to go to court.
Now, there are a number of problems with this response by the agencies:
Firstly, despite their continued persistence that these fines are somehow a criminal offence, the reality is that they simply are NOT. These are Civil matters as they are trying to extract payment from your ALL CAPS name. Any court proceedings dealing with payment of money come under civil disputes. Speeding fines, red light camera fines etc. all only proceed to court because you failed to pay the prescribed fee – rendering them Civil matters.
This, by the way, is also why the 3 step process IS a legal and valid process because the steps leading to and including the private settlement agreement come under Civil law. But you MUST present this information in the correct way for it to be taken notice of. If you explain the paragraph above to the Judge they will start to get some understanding of what you are doing, rather than just “copying and sending letters off the internet”.
Now, because they are Civil matters they have certain obligations under Commercial Law. The relevant obligation here is that when payment is tendered then they must accept that payment. If they do NOT accept that payment then they give up any further entitlement to pursue that debt. We have written a letter to the Department of Justice on this point and will include any relevant replies in our next update.
For example, if we were to send you an e-book and say “Just send us a cheque when you receive it” – (sorry, no, we can’t actually do that, this is just an example) – and then you sent us a cheque - we can’t then turn around and send the cheque back and say “No, we only accept cash now.” A legal form of payment was tendered and if we refuse to accept that payment we cannot legally lay any claim to it any time in the future. If we were to then try and sue you for the price of the e-book you would simply explain that you sent a cheque and that lawful and valid payment was refused and therefore we have no further entitlement to the debt and a Judge would side with YOU.
So, what does all this mean to you? It means that if you send a cheque to the relevant agency a week or 2 before the final hearing date and they send it back then they have given up any right to pursue a debt from you. Therefore, there is NO need for you to go to court because they are only going to court to pursue the recovery of a debt.
All current members should check their e-mail box for the relevant letters that we have created to deal with the above sceanrio.
