I've seen on websites that talk about them, saying the new govt. in WA is short on cash, under funding for the police dept, so speed cameras are supposed to be there to compensate, even raise revenue...

Where I'm from, none of this is true.
We don't have underfunded, cut-backed police funds, or speed cameras.
We have redlight cameras (which I agree with) but even they are scarce in my home province.
What we DO have is police physically out there on patrol, FOLLOWING traffic,
pulling drivers over they find driving unacceptably, talking to the motorists
and THEN deciding whether or not to issue a ticket.

Today I was flashed for approaching a roundabout from 20 m away at maybe 45 km/h
and perhaps 3-4 km/h faster than the motorists in front of me. (decelerating analog gauge, hard to tell)
I drive with a TomTom GPS with traffic camera alert service,
and lately it's alerting me less than 50% of the time.
(most of the time I see them, I do not get flashed, as coincidentally I might be at a speed that makes the cameras happy)
Almost makes me want to sell my car
if anytime my car blips the speed limit I'll get flashed.
