Funny I've always noticed traffic police whether reasonable or over zealous, to be more interested in low performance driving than in high performance cars. Chances are its road manners rather than RWKw that are attracting the attention.

And I'll back Xa-Coupe all the way on the camera thing, if an act is dangerous then the onus is on authorities to curb it immediately. An unseen camera flash on a Friday evening will do nothing to curb the excess's of the weekend's driving if the ticket doesn't arrive till 14 days after the event.

I'd love to see every speed camera cut down and to have it replaced with at least one manned highway patrol car.
Don't take out contempt for greed cameras on those few actually allowed to police our roads! A few links towards highway lobbying of state government would be far more useful than any "get out of a ticket strategy".
