When I asked Sgt Butcher about the information he used in his “research” in to photo enforcement, one of the things he mentioned was the Washington DC police.  Here is a four part expose on their system.  A must read article.

England is very progressive in the use of surveillance and camera technology,  They not only have the usual stop light and speed cameras (not just at intersections) they can issue tickets for failing to wear your seatbelt and soon for following to close.

The UK has over 6000 speed cameras and counting.  Another great site for a country that is plagued by surveillance and is a forefront in automated enforcement technologies.  Check out the section on cameras that have been attacked.

An interesting articles about How the police department, ACS and the courts collude to stack the the odds in there favor.  It also reviles the that much of what the public hears is a carefully planed script provided by ACS in order to increase convictions and reduce public back lash.  The similarities to Winnipeg, ACS, The National Campaign to Stop Red light running, and our own Sergeant Butcher is down right eerie.
