You're nicked. Maybe not...
A huge number of prosecutions for speeding may well have been determined illegally, according to Motor Cycle News.
The magazine reports that most speed camera partnerships fail to meet the legal requirement that that photo or film evidence is required to be submitted to defendants at least seven days before a trial. This means that nearly all speeding prosecutions are based on inadmissible evidence.
MCN asked three large partnerships who admitted that evidence is not automatically submitted to defendants before a trial and lawyer Nick Freeman supported MCN's case.
However, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) said: "It is unfortunate that this article may well mislead the public in believing that police forces are not complying with the advanced disclosure of evidence as laid down in the Act.” An ACPO spokesman denied though that MCN's article was incorrect.
