Guys, talking about police, I got some tips from a few different channels all saying the same thing: ALL the ORANGE pigeon holes (speed/red light cameras) are in operation and almost ALL the existing radar scanners (including the old top stuffs like 9500 or V1) in the market won't be able to detect the latest model they installed since those cameras no longer emit continuous signal; the new model emits short impulsed signals. This way almost all existing radar detectors would be confusing these kinda impulsed signals as noise and won't issue warning! I have a very recent experience with a red light camera in TKT area that wasn't detected by the detector.
Good news is, not all cameras are the latest model, bad news is, don't know which is which! However, for most of you guys who don't have a built-in UV shield on your windscreen, I was told by the shop there is this latest model of radar detector... I think 65xi or something, can detect this type of impulsed signal.
I am serious, good luck guys. Oh! One of the channels also added, these new cameras are tuned to snap the cars doing even just 1km/h over...

Guys, for those who did not install the front camera yet, I highly recommend you to install one.
In Feb, I almost hit by a 3er in a cross road. The driver did not stop or even slow down before the "stop" sign. When I beep her, she was a bit frightened and accelerated. I need to hard brake to avoid the crash. Then I wrote to police and complain the driver and I also provide the video as evidence. Recently, the police inform me that the driver has charged careless driving and deduct 5 points
.
It was strange that my camera did not catch the car plate, I just remember it and told the police. But the case is still successful.![Whistling](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/whistling.gif)

However, the speed camera is purely using some wave to measure your car speed, then trigger the camera.

Yuen Cheung, red light camera is different from speed camera. Red light camera use the sensor installed on the floor to detect whether you have pass the red light or not. As I know, there is no signal emitted from the red light camera.
However, the speed camera is purely using some wave to measure your car speed, then trigger the camera.
