further to my previous thread where I recieved a notice of intended prosecution for speeding
77mph in a 50mph single carriage way

I checked online for the calibration cert for the cleveland police speed camera, and there doesnt seem to be one?
The latest one is for 7th Jan 2013 to 7th jan 2014

here is the latest certificate
http://www.cleveland.police.uk/downloads/Publicati...

and here are the ones on their website
http://www.cleveland.police.uk/about-us/certificat...

I dont know if the camera numbers match but these are the only cal certs I can find.

can anyone see one that i have missed?
If there isnt an up to date calibration cert, how do i proceed with the situation?

Thanks
Matt

yes, very unlikely to be a clone :P

could there be a chance that they just havent updated the website?
I had rang the cleveland police ticket office and asked for a copy and they told me the certs were on the website, which is when i found that one above

Regardless of what you do, I'd suggest that you remove those pics, "wash" them of all data (the info in the black boxes) and link to the 'washed' photos. Possibly that ship has already sailed, mind... frown

And in future, "wash" the pics before you post them for the first time wink .

If this goes to court and you start arguing about a lack of calibration cert, I suspect this thread may make an unwelcome appearance... Going that way is potentially very expensive - being found guilty after a 'not guilty' plea incurs prosecution costs of around £500 to £600 before the fine and 'victim surcharge' plus penalty points.

The untimate insult will be if you plead 'not guilty' and the prosecution bring in RSS (you might even get to meet one of our members on their "dream team" wink ), you'll be looking at costs just north of £2k for their attendance plus the rest (as above) after being found guilty... This would normally happen only after your defence suggests that the equipment used is unreliable or used wrongly, things like that...

Tread carefully smile .

You're looking at a summons for 77 in a 50, anyway.
can i ask the reasoning for removing the photos? after all, the police have a copy of these photos already so its nothing new to them?

keep the suggestions coming
