Catching a cretin on film

[gh0st]

If say, I caught a driver doign something stupid, and I mean not just MLM stuff but some really cretinous driving on video camera, would it have any bearing if it got handed into the police? Would it be acted upon?

Yes, assuming it wasn't me of course!

I would hope you would have to catch a good shot of the driver as well as the car...

Too easy to whack some fake plates on a similar car and film yourself doing donuts in the school playground at chucking out time.

Judging by a previous thread on one of the "britains worst drivers" programs, where someone was shown on TV undertaking while doing close to twice the limit, in a bus lane, without a seatbelt on... and IIRC breaking another couple of trafic laws simultaneously (this was at just ONE point in the journey).

IIRC no action was taken and a couple of enquiries with the BiB (Through other mediums) were met with disinterest.

Edited to add a link to a previous relevant thread.
