They come up with all kinds of great ideas to make criminals out of their average citizens.  According to this article by the UK telegraph, a new type of speed camera is being tested in Britain.

A new type of speed cameras which can use satellites to measure average speed over long distances are being tested in Britain.

In the not so near future we will no longer see glorious pictures of torched gatsos.  I’m so bummed.

The Home Office is testing the cameras at two sites, one in Southwark, London, and the other A374 between Antony and Torpoint in Cornwall.

The `SpeedSpike’ system, which calculates average speed between any two points in the network, has been developed by PIPS Technology Ltd, an American-owned company with a base in Hampshire.

How long until we see this system here in the states?  I’m just going to sit back and contemplate all the ways this system can be used other than catching speeders.
