There have been calls for the end of the use of unmarked, covert speed cameras after claims they are part of a scheme to raise government revenue.
Queensland Police Union President, Ian Leavers, said that “only a highly visible policing presence and marked speed camera vans, staffed by police are the way to address the road toll.”
During the 12 months ending in December 2017 there were 1,225 road deaths, a 5.3% drop from the previous year.
