| 887225 | 2010-05-22 10:20:00 | If you see a person hiding in a tree with what looks like a camera, don't call the cops because it might be the cops: www.3news.co.nz So what does everyone think about this? It probably will catch offenders but it could distract motorists too. Can cops do this without a harness? Doesn't OSH regulations apply to the police too? |

Well I hope the cops are going to be there at night and early morning filming as well as the daytime. As most of these accident happen at night and early morning. I was thinking this wouldn't work here in the UK, because you spend a lot of your time on the other side of the road, due to the fact that the roads are so narrow over here. It will be interesting to see at the end of their campaign if the crashes have come down or not. |

| 887229 | 2010-05-22 21:11:00 | Wonder if the tree climbing is OSH and ACC sanctioned. How will they write up the accident report when they fall out of the tree?? This sounds more like Keystone Cops rather than NZ Police but I guess they are desperate for revenue.. This will be like the old MOT and their anti speed campaign using spotter planes measuring the time between two marks on the road. The shear cost of running these aircraft killed it.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 887230 | 2010-05-22 22:00:00 | This tree climbing etc was probably a stunt for 3News. They should stick a few shop dummies up the bank and move them around every few days. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 887231 | 2010-05-22 22:17:00 | I just thought, this is quite a sensible post from Lance4K. Well done. |

| 887232 | 2010-05-22 23:38:00 | Good on 'em. I just wish they did that here. ATM it's a 30km/h zone because of road works, but normally it's 100km/h. People don't seem to realize that 30km/h has been chosen for a reason. It sounds like every second car is about to lose control. Just a couple hours in the evening and at least 50 people would lose their license on the spot. |

| 887234 | 2010-05-22 23:58:00 | Speeders are killers and need catching by any means possible. What has this got to do with speeding ? The police are trying to catch people going over the centre line. |
