Gatso Inaccuracy

[Kickstart]

Hi

Some may remember a story of a retired engineer who was challanging the accuracy of the Gatso cameras due to the variable timing of the flashes.

Seems that he missed his day in court, so the police went and kicked his door down and dragged him to their car and back to the police station (via the hospital as he stopped breathing on the way):-

Wonder what is really going on.

All the best

Bloody hell! I can't believe they just ignored his complaints, and refused to identify the officers involved, and refused his case!

The more cases there are like that of police officers abusing their authority, even if they are the minority, the less and less people will respect them. That kind of thing makes me angry. It doesn't appear to be such a minority as we'd hope, the number of reports of police brutality you hear.

We're going down the route of a police state ffs! Tony Blair must be making Margaret Thatcher proud!

It's easy to make rash judgements without knowing all the facts, but that does indeed seem very very dodgy





Btw, interesting page on his site about getting photographic evidence from a gatso _before_ deciding whether or not to fight it in court: https://www.notsoaccurate.com/Page%2020.htm

Having read all of his website (which really is worth it) I think it's fair to say that there is a significantly bent system in place to commit multi-million pound fraud against the motorist. The only problem is, it's the government (local and national), the judiciary system and police forces. They're a bit difficult to prosecute.

Just read through the entire website. This is turning into way more than someone trying to get off a speeding fine. There is a bbc documentary in the making as well.

Very interesting reading , i just hope the man is able to expose what is happening before his ill health gets the better of him.

Yes. It looks very dodgy.

Please, however, try to be objective. This looks to be a site with a degress of bias - giving you the opposite level of stats-twisting as the authorities give out in favour of the speed cameras.
