The embarassment that would result from being caught is incomprehensible to most cultures.fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061725013331754160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286723931381409375.post-52651159985677668632012-10-05T22:21:57.125+08:002012-10-05T22:21:57.125+08:00You can see in all of those photos that there is a...You can see in all of those photos that there is a camera looking down on these parking spaces. So the main stop is the gadget on the ground, and if that doesn't stop You then there's a camera looking down on You... I was wondering what would stop people with Landcruisers from just driving over the stopper on the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286723931381409375.post-11189257032281582002010-09-02T03:49:32.396+08:002010-09-02T03:49:32.396+08:00I wouldn't call it a "suggestion", a...I wouldn't call it a "suggestion", and would be astonished if it hasn't already been thought of. No doubt you've seen the video of the Beijing motorist who carries around a parking place in her trunk (a pavement-colored mat which contains markings indicating legal parking, which is rolled up against a curve and driven over).EngineerScottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005863528905991434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286723931381409375.post-43264925610891275072010-09-01T09:10:48.963+08:002010-09-01T09:10:48.963+08:00@EngineerScotty: I guess cheating is possible.

I don't recall video surveillance but there might be cameras that I didn't notice. And if too many people took up your suggestion then cameras would appear in no time I guess.Paul Barterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442704054375929398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286723931381409375.post-4586305503207100392010-09-01T03:26:37.064+08:002010-09-01T03:26:37.064+08:00Could someone defeat this with a couple pairs of j...Could someone defeat this with a couple pairs of jackstands welded together to form an impromptu ramp?EngineerScottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005863528905991434noreply@blogger.com
