I got a 250 fine for throwing a cigarette butt out the window and I dont even smoke. Work that one out. I called them and tried to argue the point, there was no video proof, nothing! Apparently one of those mobile RTA speed camera ***** seen me. They don't need proof at all. I was livid. Every time I see one of those RTA cameras now I hold the horn on going past them with my arm out the window giving the bird, just in case it was them. *****
Private Corporations have no business in speed enforcement.
They are either RedFlex or Macquarie Group employees, and both companies get a percentage kick back of the fines they issue.
Reminds me of this legend:

I used to either flip them off, or if they were legally parked, park up behind them if I wasn't in a hurry, then have conversations wandering in their way on my phone (like I had to pull over to take a call).
Nothing they can do either
... unless it's a HWP car, as they are not emergency service vehicles, nor sworn in officers.
There's a bloke in Wagga who operates/operateed one (not sure if he still does), as he almost got run out of town by locals, AND was observed many a time speeding.
Then theres the ones in Bathurst which the council continually fined for illegal parking until they pissed off.
I had one 6 months ago parked on a nature strip right on road, open their door up and almost take me out. Complained to Redflex and nothing happened.
