Bless him indeed.

I was given to undertand that remote control gate openers can do the same thing. It has been something i have thought about, but if this goes against the driver,( assuming it was one of these he had fitted) i will think again. and continue to get out and manually open and close them,it would rather stick in the craw to be done for not speeding!!!

"a Cleveland police officer, PC Lorraine Williams, attempted to check his speed with her equipment displaying an 'error' message."

How do we know it wasn't user error and not his garage door opener?

[Who me ?]

Driver had device in car, SC says the police kit is fool proof so ergo without further ado ,the driver used the opener ( which for SC evidence is not an opener but a "jammer" ) and of course the papers love that sort of headline.

Is that not an oxymoron?

[Landshark]

The lasers come up with various error codes, there is one to say the laser is being jammed/blocked.

[Toltec]

It's a laser rangefinder to help maintain a safe braking distance officer.

Have we not got any information on our charlatan friend which could be forwarded to the defended which both shows he is not an expert, or independent?

So if you go burgling and wear a mask to avoid identification would you be charged with PtCoJ as well as burglary? I doubt it. Once again the motorist is treated differently to most criminals

Pensioner Craggs, quite an affectionate description.

Has it been disclosed if the defendant had any speeding tickets ? Before and after...

Be careful if you drop the soap in the showers !

No, you'd be fine wearing a mask when driving.

Hmmm...me thinks you mis-understood the similarity being made.

I know what he was saying, but since it wasn't a valid comparison so I provided one.

Blocking a device in such a manner is obstructing an evidence gathering process.

Concealing your face during a burglary is not. Just as driving with your face covered isn't.

[anonymous-user]

CCTV gathers evidence. Wearing a hood to conceal yourself from it while committing a crime seems to me a valid comparison?

concealing your hands so that you do not leave detectable finger prints

concealing your face so that CCTV can not record who you are


same thing
