GASTO : the French love them too

Hi everybody,
France had been spared from Gatso's until this month, due to laws preventing fully automated speed-traps (human presence required to ensure the reliability of the "Machine" [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img])
Anyway last Monday, a big governemental PR exercise was done south of Paris with two ministers introducing the first Gatso to the French World.

This is the exact same Gatso this morning, shown on prime time news.

It was supposed to start sending tickets tomorrow.
