Portable Orbis shoots 25 cars in 24 hours ... Can you hear the SOS of the on-site police officer?

● From the report of Saitama Shimbun on December 30, 2021

"We will crack down on mobile orbis and randomly select points where accidents occur frequently or where speeds are likely to increase in Saitama," the Saitama Shimbun reported on December 30, 2021. Some are quoted below. [Which one? ] Is the light of Orbis "red" or "white"? On the 27th, the station conducted a speed control using mobile orbis 24 hours a day from 6:00 am to 6:00 am the following day. The crackdown will be carried out by four members of the transportation section of the same station. Randomly select points in the jurisdiction where accidents occur frequently and points where speed tends to increase, and install mobile orbis. I kept an eye out for speed violations of passing cars. On this day, it will be deployed at three locations: the Karisaka Tunnel on National Highway No. 140 in Chichibu City, the main local road of Hinosagi Bridge, and the main local road of Nagatoro Town Well. A total of 25 vehicles suspected of speeding were photographed. △△△ End of quote △△△ It's a very interesting report for enthusiasts. Let me explain three points on my own. I think I'm the only one who gives this kind of commentary (laughs). 1. "Mobile" is the Orbis map terminology The device in the image in the article is LSM-310 from Tokyo Aircraft Instrument Co., Ltd. (TKK). It is "portable" in contracts and specifications. The police also announced that it was portable. Then what is "mobile"? The portable type has appeared as a "new speed violation automatic control device" along with the semi-portable type and the fixed type. When the Orbis map vendor added three new types to the map, the symbol was changed to "i = mobile". That is the beginning. It seems that the online development was skillful, and in a blink of an eye, three mobile characters spread and became established. Newspapers and television often report that they are mobile against police announcements, which cannot beat the crying child and the Internet. I even see three mobile letters on the police website. The Orbis map vendor would be a guts pose. You did a good job. 2. Was "keeping the safety of the school road" a lie? "The conventional speed control method is not suitable for school roads and living roads. In order to control the speed of school roads and protect safety, we need a new device that can be carried and is ridiculous." Appeared. However, this time, it is said that it was cracked down on "national roads" and "main local roads". I think there are many people who say, "Why isn't the story different!" But think about it. Speed ​​restraints on school roads include humps (kamaboko-shaped swells) and bollards (intentionally creating narrow parts with sturdy stakes). These physical devices continue to slow down 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, the National Police Agency did not mention physical devices, but continued to report whether the portable type was the trump card to protect the safety of school roads and the like. It's funny, isn't it? The school road is generally called "Zone 30", and the speed limit is 30 km. Traditional Orbis only cracks down on red ticket violations (overspeeds of 30 km or more on open roads). If so, do you miss the runaway car that skips the children's side at 59 km on the school road? I have to do it. Naturally, blue tickets (over 30 kilometers) will also be cracked down. By raising the safety of school roads as a cause, Orbis can be smoothly released from the "red ticket restrictions" and "red ticket binding". The presumption that it was a cause for that purpose should be rational in light of the rules of logic and empirical rules, in the style of the judgment of the court. Therefore, it is natural to use the portable type on national roads and major local roads. It is said that 25 cars were cracked down by a 24-hour crackdown by issuing "shooting" and "traffic fatal accident frequent occurrence warning" and "24-hour posture from 6:00 am to 6:00 am the next day". As of the end of March 2021, the Saitama Prefectural Police owns five portable vehicles. Did you mobilize all five? No, there is probably only one from the place where "Chichibu station is ..." and "Transportation section staff is four people ...". It is said that 25 cars were shot 24 hours a day. I feel "What?" Once upon a time, I saw a number of records made by mousetrap police officers. He asked the defendant and his defense counsel to show what the prosecutor had brought to court to claim that he was "keeping a good record. Only the defendant denied it." The number of crackdowns was about 20 in a few hours each time. Unlike those days, speed violations have decreased in recent years. It won't be as cracked down as it used to be. However, even so, 25 cars in 24 hours and about 1 car per hour are all too few. What's more, all I did was "shooting". How many calls will be sent, and how many will lead to the creation of a ticket? 4, Summary Looking at the movements of the National Police Agency, the bidding situation in each area, various data, etc., it seems that TKK's portable type is not suitable for speed control. Therefore, this time too, it would have been embarrassing to have 25 cars in 24 hours. But why did the Chichibu office announce such embarrassing numbers? Why did the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters announce it? I wish I could hide it. I think the field police officers are a little sick of TKK's portable uselessness, but the National Police Agency is pushing TKK because of the amakudari concession, so I can not go against it and give SOS by giving embarrassing numbers. I wonder if that's the case. Police officers all over the country are nodding, "Yeah, yeah, yeah," how about a deep reading? However, many speed-violating addicts do not read deeply like I do, but just take it as "Mobile is cracked down on national roads. Seriously, it's a devilish death. It's dangerous!" It doesn't matter how you take it, but if you speed up too much, the discovery of danger will be delayed, avoidance will be delayed, and the damage in the event of an accident will be enormous. The life that should not have been lost is lost. Even if life is saved, severe after-effects may remain. That's really dangerous. Please be careful!
