The deterrence value of speed cameras has been called into question as a 40-year-old Turkish man set off the same Swiss speed cameras four times in the space of less than two minutes. The camera, located in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, generated $750 in fines in just 1 minute and 37 seconds, equivalent to the rate of $28,000 per hour.

The Turk drove his BMW past the camera at 36.6 MPH in a 31 MPH speed zone. The flash of the camera confused the man because it was coming from a traffic light, so he quickly turned around to see what it was -- at 39 MPH. This was followed by 47 and 42 MPH passes.

The Swiss-German police intend to add an extra fine because the man was not wearing a seatbelt in his photographs.
