Is policing people doing 35mph really a good use of police resources, whilst they ignore burglaries?

Priorities

The police will only prioritise what their political bosses ask them to.
The political bosses will only prioritise what their voters want them to do.

Remember your priorities don't always equal others' priorities.

I don't think that's true.

Do you honestly think Priti Patel and Bravermann wanted Twitter-policing to be prioritised?

I think the top echelons of the police are as bad as these civil servants subverting Brexit. They have their own (liberal) agenda.

Nice one & great result.

I got caught a couple of weeks back but to be fair my mind was elsewhere and I was going too quickly and reacted late. First pic was 36mph for "zero seconds", second was 30mph.

Awaiting my fate as the car is in the wife's name so sent the form back surrending myself as the guilty party.

Hopefully I'll get a speed awareness course, only been caught once before back in 2007 by camera operator "G WART" (I bet he got bullied as a kid lol).

It’s as true as the second half of your post.

Until yesterday that would been my view as well. But then I saw someone run down and sprawled across the road in a small country town in the pissing rain when the car was probably doing less than 30mph. So on balance (and I would until then not have thought I'd say it) but it is a good use of resources.

A technicality confirmed by someone reviewing the photo evidence resulting in cancellation.
That was a very lucky break!
Some common sense applied to the obscured photo that might be used to challenge the NIP so chalked up as a cancellation to prevent a waste of time/effort/cost in a fight.
Treat it as a wake up call.

"The speed recorded is accurate".

Yes - they just can't prove it was your vehicle doing it.

[whimsical ninja]

If there's a takeaway from this, assuming that the letter is correct, it should be that your judgement of your own speed may need tweaking

Unrelated... but I once followed a casually strolling otter down the middle of that road at about 2 am.

A 17 year old me was once travelling down a country lane at a similar time, possibly, a little above the NSL when a bloody badger leapt out of the Cornish hedge into the middle of the road and stopped.
I emergency braked and stopped a couple of metres short of it.
It glared at me then flicked me a V sign and ran up the other hedge.
