E-Petition

The Petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that the QPS is unable to record all vehicle speeding offences. It is abundantly clear that the numbers of speeding violations massively exceed that which the QPS can record, measure and process. This current system by (engineering-standard terms) is grossly broken, increases vehicle accidents, personal harm, personal medical costs and deaths.  There needs to be an alternate (secondary) system.

Suitably qualified non-QPS (or off-duty QPS) people can be paid to additionally record speed-limit violations, this might be by use of existing speed-recording signage, devices or current police vehicles. This additional data is therefore retained on record for alternate use and may be published or provided to employers, as well as being noted by QPS and courts as required. It is clear that an additional secondary infringement data-stream is urgently required. Loud vehicle exhaust noise is closely linked to increased air pollution and excessive speeding, this alternate (secondary) system should also be expanded to record non-standard (and modified) vehicle exhaust system noise levels exceeding 85dB(c). Petrol is designed to burn relatively slowly (to protect the engine), at high RPM huge quantities of unburned fuel is directly pumped out into the environment. Plus, at night-time this causes severe sleep-deprivation to residents. 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all within its power to ensure suitably qualified non-QPS (or off-duty QPS) people, be trained and paid to additionally record speed-limit violations by use of existing speed-recording signage, devices or current police vehicles.
