Not sure whether this was the infamous LTi 20-20 but it makes interesting reading.

That is an excellent find. Well done! (Now someone find Mr Ives, we all want to see that document from the laser gun makers)

As far as I’m concerned, Mr Ives is the fortunate one and if it was a case that people thought that they would challenge things and would just get off with it, the public interest would soon demand a different reaction.


POSSIBLE TRANSLATION:
The thing is, if he lost and appealed and then won at a higher court, which he would, it would open the floodgates and the SCP's would be fecked. So we rolled over... but don't think everyone can do this... well they can... but we're not going to tell you THAT are we?

Now this is very interesting. ...particularly this quote:

"......he investigated, using the Freedom of Information Act to find out at what distance mobile speed cameras are guaranteed to be accurate. The manufacturer replied with some interesting information: the tripod-mounted laser mobile cameras were accurate only up to to 109 yards (100m)..."

Now what have the BIB and revenue camera businesses who seem all to use them at greater distances got to say to that one?
