Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40.
Several days later, he received a letter from the police department that contained another picture - of handcuffs. |

Welcome |
Welcome to the fourth edition of Intelegence, Intelematics’ Australian Telematics market update.
2008 has so far been a busy and exciting time for Intelematics. In February we moved to our new offices in Richmond VIC, providing much expanded and improved facilities, we exhibited at the Australian International Motor Show and in March we announced the timing for the national roll-out of Suna Traffic Channel. |

In addition, EastLink has integrated Suna Traffic Channel information into their website, enabling enhanced traveller information to be provided to their customers.
We expect that 2008 will continue for us at the same pace, and we look forward to sharing our news with you over the coming months.
