Finland speed trap uses 3D camera

What’s Finland most famous for? If you’ve answered Nokia phones just like most of the other people who don’t reside in Finland, then you are most probably correct. Well, here’s something that might take away that coveted position from the handset manufacturer – we’re talking about automated 3D speed cameras which will be able to check out essential information such as insurance, taxes, seat belt usage and tailgating in a jiffy. Dubbed ASSET (Advanced Safety and Driver Support for Essential Road Transport), the effective range is about 150 feet, where you can have a slew of tickets issued almost simultaneously if you drive without wearing a safety belt while tailgating someone who just crossed through a red light at insanely high speeds. With that, prosecution can take just seconds – something tells us the legal system there will have to be extra efficient to handle the sudden increase in cases!
