SPECS Proof

[rich 36]

If I was about to be prosecuted, for being caught speeding through a SPECS system of cameras, I'd ask for proof.
Would I expect to recieve pictures of;

number plate,or

whole car front including driver

any experience people ?

[cooperman]

Email 'Blackstuff'. He definately knows!!!

Here's a thought.

Get 1 sheet of newspaper and soak in a bucket of water for a few minutes.

Attach to front of car at angle obscuring number plate - like it blew up when driving.

Befuddle specs cameras (allegedly)

Ive mailed blackstuff, ta cooperman,
and I applaud your thinking on the wet newspaper Tim

It was an idea I had, but which I need to know what, that proof photos show of the alleged speeding car

The "proof" comprises:

One picture of the front of the vehicle, showing two occupants as blurs, and an unreadable front numberplate.

Two close-up pictures of your front number plate, which could have been taken in the local supermarket car park for all the context they have.

A "primary" time on distance calculation alleging your speed.

A "secondary" time on distance calculation alleging to corroborate the primary speed measurement, but which in reality has been measured using a second identical system, therefore is no corroboration at all.

You can tell I was impressed!

Someone I know has had no front number plate for about 2 years. This makes him immune to Truvelo and SPECS cameras. Not once has he been pulled over or criticised for it, except at the first MOT the garage replaced it. At the second MOT, after it had "fallen off" again, the same garage just said "Oh yeah we remember, you don't have a front number plate" and left it at that.
Car looks much nicer without, too.

Hardly surprising. Can't remember the last time I saw a Trafpol, ages ago.

Saw a few BiB and PSCOs patrolling just before the election, they now seem to have disappeared again.

My front numberplate has a "quick release" mechanism to help prevent overheating on trackdays.

Ahh, the wonders of velcro

Should of guessed you would James.

Ripped any more doors off your beamer yet?

So which (if any) safety camera system, provides the greatest likelihood of escape from prosecution, by poorest photographic evidence.
Night-time IR
SPECS ?

Just obscure the plates or leave em off. System Defeated!.
