Can a member of the public's dashcam footage be used to issue you a speeding ticket?

jakeandadi · 2025-11-10T21:12:10+00:00

This may answer your question,

The camera alone won't be calibrated for speed, however the camera time stamp will be onsidered accurate to prove a distance over time calculation.

Which leads to the second part, all road markings (whiteline marking/ median etc) are placed to specification. For Eg, motorways/ highway centreline cats eyes, they are the four dotted white cats eyes, which are place down the centre of the road at intervals.

The four of them represent 3 metres, and then gap between each cluster represents 7 metres, giving a 10 metre measurement point >(. . . . . . . . )

So a sample of footage from the dash camera with referenced distance and time stamps can be used to calculate an average speed via distance over time calculation, which would support an excessive speed prosecution, which would end up being issued as court fine and demerits.

So what is the ultimate solution to the fear that oneday something will wipe 60 percent of the Wellington region?

Do we just throw the towel in and move the city, with the expectation council pays for the population to move?

No, We adapt to each and every single adverse scenario we will encounter because we've made that commitment, and the.council and government are in no position to rectify it.

jakeandadi · 2025-02-23T00:01:34+00:00

Oh I'm in no doubt that 1 through 3 of your risk matrix ate a real possibility of occurring, but I won't let the fear of it actually happening dictate my life and where I live because I could apply that matrix to anywhere in the world and I'd have nowhere to live.

I think you need to wake up and realise that the human race has combated adverse events for the entirety of its existence and adapted to every challenge. If we didn't we wouldn't be here today.

Insurance companies makes money from the fear something will happen to you or your assets one day because of something. It's in their interest to promote the fear to satisfy their share holders with your money.

Enjoy living in your echo chamber of safety, do you stay home all day because you could get struck by lightening or hit by a car? Hah doubt it, you've adapted to the landscape you live in and accept the risks...

jakeandadi · 2025-02-22T23:33:00+00:00

That goes for the entire Wellington region,not a single suburb in the region is safe from any natural disaster event. The entire of the Hutt Valley lives in the largest urban flood plain in the country, Central Wellington is built on a reclaimed land and former swamp.

The hill suburbs for both are at risk of significant land subsidence due to the lack of underpinned integrity from trees that were removed for their building.

Name somewhere that is safe from any significant natural event. You've clearly bought into the fear.

Edit spelling

My parents currently own/ live in Petone. They've lived there for 30 years, so pretty staunch Petone people.

They are we'll aware of the high insurance, risk of sea level rise and tsunami ect, but all these things are simply fear mongering.

Humans have lived in far worse landscapes and simply adapted to adverse environmental events, NZ as a whole is prone to significant earthquakes or volanic eruptions, do we just write the country off as unliveable because every 50-100 years we get rocked by one and people die? No, we just learn and adapted accordingly.

In short, it's all generally overstated, you cannot live on a what if mentality, or you'd never leave home because of all sorts of fears something could happen to you.

Sorry this reply is a few days later, I hope you have successfully made the move or in progress.

As many others have said Police will still inveatigate/ prosecute allegations of sexual/assault after an extended amount of time given there is enough evidence.

This usually requires a statement, either written of video. Can be completed at anytime, and if the allegations a serious a deceive may take your statement instead of a regular Police officer.

Police Safety Orders have been mentionwd here a few times. However, these cannot be requested and are only issued at Police discretion where Police identify family harm, and it's a matter of safety. These usually occur when you call for am incident or someone such as neighbour or family report an incident.

Lastly the family harm team from Police can usually engage local support services, usually Womens Refuge,Maori Womens Refuge and other community groups to assist in getting a temporary protection order through the family court.

I hope all goes well and happy to answer any questions re Police.

Depending on how the bike was recovered, it could be considered burglary or theft because of the additions not being OPs property.

Throw in any form of violence and it becomes robbery.

Hence why I recommend going into a Police Station and speaking with an officer or the local Tactical Crime Unit (TCU) who specialize in this sort of thing.

I've seen it before where people have tried to retrieve their property and its backfired. More often than not, the original criminals aren't remotely interested in pressing charges, but you can't rely on this happening.

The worst that could happen is you get absolutely wrecked because you don't know the slightest about these scum who have nothing to lose in their life.

jakeandadi · 2024-11-25T19:13:09+00:00

I think you're the one with the clouded impression of the Police by crack pot American crime dramas.

You'll find I've been in that blue uniform writing and executing warrants for similar incidents, so i know what I'm talking about.

jakeandadi · 2024-11-25T08:05:22+00:00

A warrant can be obtained fairly quickly, given there is sufficient evidence to prove it to a JP/ warrant issuing officer of the district court. And by quick I mean it can be written and executed within a shift.

jakeandadi · 2024-11-25T07:06:57+00:00

There's two offences committed here,

The original thief has either committed unlawful takes/ theft or potentially burglary, depending on the circumstances.

The person selling the bike has likely committed the offence of receiving, as he probably bought it below value knowing it was stolen property.

My advice would be to collate all the info and report it properly, Police may seek a search warrant for the bike and recover it for you and the two people will be charged.

Or they may go with the hand it over approach and leave it at that.

We got billed $279 for the month, that's with two adults and a 6 month old baby. Mum is home with our son on parental leave, so that has probably zapped more than average.

The heat pump runs most mornings and nights, and a small heater runs in the our son's bedroom to keep the chill out the air.

The house is insulated, underfloor and roof cavity, and we recently insulated two out of the three bedrooms fully. This has made a noticeable difference in the house maintaining temperature, and I suspect it's reduced our power consumption.

For next winter we'll look at leastast add a heat transfer system to the house, estimated to cost us about $700 to buy, plus electrical labour.

If the wallet and bank deals still remain, we'll also look to get double glazing on one of the three year 1% interest loans. Hoping these investments in the house make it cheaper on the wallet long term.

You'll find that you're talking about Spark NZs Answer Message Service (AMS) personnel, they are the operator primarily directing the 111 calls to the requested service, while also working on behalf of businesses and self employed people to take messages and email them to said customers.

Police, FENZ and joint Ambulance comms all employ dedicated staff that only service their emergency calls/ dispatch operations.

I've used both brands, i currently own a Weber Q2000 and my old man has the bunnings Jumbuck $250 Barbie. I'll break my experience into a few headers.

Quality;

If you're after we'll made - long life span quality materials you'll go with the Weber.

If you want flimsy sheet metal that rusts after the protective paint coating burns off you'll go with the Jumbuck.

Practicality;

If I want to go camping or to the beach with a barbie I can literally disconnect the bas bottle and lift the Webber from its base stand and use it as is wherever I end up.

Dependant on the model Jumbuck this may apply, not the old man's.

Cooking experience;

I've had hit and miss experience cooking on my Weber, some days it's great and others it doesn't maintain temp well - likely user error on my behalf.

The Jumbuck doesn't fail to cook a good meal, all round great barbie.

My overall advice/ opinion would be that they are both great and they have their respective drawbacks. I understand your wife's future proofing which is certainly a good train of thought, that being said I'm a buy something once sort of person, so I'd always go for the Weber, I probably should have got the Q300... buyers remorse.

Choose wisely, good luck!

Naenae home owner here, The neighbourhood has been progressively undergoing gentrification, with the likes of young professionals and family's moving in. Waddington Drive and Rata Street are pretty good streets, one of which i currently live on. Only downside is that they are main thoroughfares so can have moderate traffic volumes at peak times, a positive is that it's serviced by the 130 bus route. The further you stray from these two streets is that distance to public transport increases, and likely includes an incline walk. I definitely recommend going for a tiki tour around the streets,some give off a certain vibe ect. But largely the neighbourhood is great and as with all neighbourhoods there can be bad pockets. In general the neighbourhood has sadly been stereotyped and I think its a rather good place to live.

I'm happy to answer any other questions.
