It would seem to put paid to the theory that speed cameras ar useful cash cows, at least as far as the fixed variety are concerned.

One of the many cut-backs forced on Police Forces/Partnerships. They've been haemorrhaging staff and not recruiting

The only working cameras on the M25 are the Hadecs cameras, all easily spotted by the little pole with the monitoring cameras that precedes it.

Why? If publicising the existence of numerous realistic dummies makes people careless then surely they are likely to trap more people?

Not if they don't have any working cameras at all as for example Durham, Kent and W. Yorkshire.

You read too many conspiracy theories! :-)

Here in NZ the police recently confessed that none of the fixed cameras outside of Auckland & Wellington have been operational for the past 18 months!!! Something about delays in switching over to a new digital system...

Wonder why they told us? Might've paid to keep quiet... Road deaths through the roof again here this year.

They are still cash cows, but the money now goes to central government rather than the local Police force, hence their lack of interest.
