CPS new toy spotted "PORTABLE PHOTO RADAR"

[jampack]

Looks like a box version of R2-D2..

On a serious note, better watch out for those boxes!

EDIT: not sure how my post got on top before the op's posts lol

Edmonton Police got a new toy, it is a "PORTABLE PHOTO RADAR"
it was spotted by my co-worker this morning and he sent out email to alert us, so I just thought I give Beyonder a waring as well. I do not know if CPS is testing it or it is for real, but it looks like it did take photo of car passing by according to his email.
Quote from his email
"While in Sherwood Park this morning traveling north on
Broadmore road in front of the Costco, I came across a very peculiar
devise sitting on the side of the road.

IT IS A PORTABLE PHOTO RADAR UNIT!!!!

Please see the attached pictures I took of the unit with great risk to
myself as the operator sitting on his ass in the truck got out and told me
I could not take a picture of the unit and could be charged, well here are
the pictures anyways!

Note that these devices are out there and very hard to see if you are not
paying attention. In the couple minutes it took for me to get out and take
these pictures and argue with the guy this unit must have flashed 20 - 25
times because no one is looking for a box on the side of the road...they
look for the trucks!

Just for your FYI.....drive safe all, and don't forget to share this email
with others so we can prevent this cash cow from taken our hard earned
money!!"

EPS are sneaky devils

Heres another of their tactics

Another photo shot

from this shot it does look like an utility box on the side of the road

Would these show up as K or KA on a radar detector?

Is this in Calgary? The email from your co-worker says its in Sherwood Park.

This is in Edmonton. But I'm sure Calgary will follow suit and purchase soon.

Considering those picture were not even taken in Calgary and the second post is just one of those annoying chain letters, I doubt we'll be seeing them soon in Calgary.

Thanks for the heads up. Hope we don't see this in Calgary. They are tougher to spot, but luckily the shit on top of the box is a dead giveaway

Totally would see that happening, but I think there is always a cop monitoring it, no?

Why is this thread such a mess?

[SKR]

I thought they had these in Lethbridge a few years ago.

[Thaco]

this is Edmonton, since they scrapped the speed on green, this is their new cash cow.

Jack Beaton got mod powers and is trying to mess up the information on ray2-dar2
I suppose you could also put a garbage bag over it

[racerjim]

They use these exact things in lethbridge. There is always a cop around the corner because they are not cordless contraptions. Power cord runs to the van so they have to be parked pretty close to it.

I remember hearing on the news someone got in big trouble for shooting one up a little while back.

[92_VTEC_lude]

confirmed it is from Edmonton when I checked email from work just now
But I would say CPS may have it in Calgary soon too
for me I do have to watch for it when I travel to Edmonton office for work

Put a road cone on top of it.

Would it be illegal to tip it over? I guess pointless though if someone is near by to pick it back up.
