The second photo shows a different bin to the remainder of the photos.

Look at the position of the perspex aperture, and look at the location of the screws holding it in.
Its not the same one shown in the later photos. The screws are in different places and the aperture is a different distance from the edge.

If its real there are at least 2 out there.

And "Robot" is a genuine brand of speed camera, the gear is real.

167754 2003-08-14 11:49:00 Only thing is, how do we know this isn't some British scam? All these links are going to UK sites!

And that white van looks suspiciously British... and the roads etc... notice a car is driving on the wrong side of the road for it to be an NZ road, even taking into consideration that the photo has been mirrored.

167755 2003-08-14 12:17:00 A cursory look around suggests they are real, and alive and well, but in Holland (and/or Belgium) and not NZ

That ties with other photos of them being loaded/unloaded, where the houses and traffic look as though its in Europe, certainly not here.

167758 2003-08-14 21:03:00 The police are wearing guns. They don't do that in NZ.
Doesn't mean it won't happen.
But then, what happens if a truck dumps the camera into it's tray to empty it?

johnboy, if you are a member and can post to that site, could you point out that the NZ connection in the thread is a load of horsefeathers? Particularly the stuff from the guy who says his uncle took the pix when he was out here recently...

They are obviously not taken here - look at the cops carrying guns, and the car going the wrong way... Must be on the continent somewhere.

I was going to ignore the obvious errors until I read the site you posted!
