I think you are talking about average speed cameras not speed detectors

I remember I got caught when I had my silver SXi, and I am 110% sure I wasn't speeding, it was a 40mph limit and I was doing under that, slowing down for a roundabout minding my own business only to get pulled in and told the camera caught me doing 52mph. Now I'm a very aware of speed and there was no way I was doing 52mph at that point in time.
This was when I first started driving so didn't argue it but I bet you this fucking thing was the reason I got caught when I wasn't really speeding.

This isn't anything to do with a camera.
It's a policeman pressing a button on a clock and it measuring speed by dividing distance by time.

airwave is basically the same as GSM, i cant really see how a mobile phone can affect the Lasers used in Vascar. Prolly the police have said this to the press so everyone will just speed past them beliving that ALL forces have to stop using them

It doesn't use laser, it's a calculator.
