Those painted Gatso's aren't new in Holland, we had one a few miles down the road from here, painted as a plant, until it got destroyed. I remember Top Gear saying they got the Idea about construction foam from the Dutch.
I must admit although I am thoroughly against mindless speed camera's (just to rake in the funds) this one was at an accident blackspot and painted bright colours with the intention of catching your attention before you got flashed. I found it a shame that it was destroyed and hasn't been replaced yet.
Unfortunately the Dutch also have speed camera's that detect your speed between 2 points on the highway, luckily everyone knows where they are and there are notice boards warning you about this before hand.
I once saw a radar detector wired up to a flip down number plate on a BMW Car once, it was pretty cool, like something out of James bond. The clever part about it was that the BMW ran partly on Gas and had the fill cap behind the number plate, so if the cops stopped him he would say oops, its come loose sorry.
I know that in some states it's legal to use a radar detector in the US, has anyone any experience in using these on a bike?
