"TONIGHT" PROGRAM are doing LASER SPEED CAMERA
Discussion
Motorists: you must see Tonight tonight
Tonight with Trevor Macdonald on ITV this evening (8pm ,all regions) has crucial information for all motorists. Do not miss it.
The programme addresses motorists fighting back against misused and
misapplied laws. In particular and importantly it addresses problems with an extremely commonplace laser speed meter.
The film will explain how easy it is for the equipment to give an erroneous reading.
Safe Speed believes that errors in laser speed meter readings are
commonplace. When errors are commonplace the equipment has been
proved to be incapable of gathering evidence 'beyond a reasonable doubt' as required by law.
With at least 5 million motorists convicted using this equipment in the last five years the stakes are sky high. Many will have suffered considerable hardship - ranging from increased insurance premiums to loss of driving licence. At the high end of the scale people will have lost their jobs and their homes as a direct consequence.
Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign
(www.safespeed.org.uk) said: "I was present as an observer when the team from Tonight with Trevor MacDonald were testing the LTI2020 laser speed meter. It is clear to me that the equipment is unsuitable for obtaining legal evidence against motorists because of the ease with which it can be confused."
"Clearly the Home Office did not adequately test the device before issuing type approval. That type approval must now be withdrawn immediately.
Pending convictions must be dropped. The present situation is totally unacceptable."
"My advice to motorists is:
* Write to your MP demanding that type approval of the LTI2020 is
suspended.
* See a solicitor if you have been accused or convicted based on laser
speed meter evidence.
* Challenge every ongoing case.
* Do not pay the fixed penalty ticket.
* If you have been convicted in the last five years, try to get the case re- opened.
* If you have suffered losses because of faulty laser speed meter evidence make a compensation claim."
Tonight with Trevor MacDonald have repeated tests carried out by BBC 'Inside Out' and The Daily Mail. The findings are always the same. The device makes mistakes.

very interesting site about a guy who's been fighting against this for a while
www.notsoaccurate.com/Page%201.htm

The notso site is about miss timing gatso cameras (although could also refer to laser but I haven't seen it), The programme is about hand held laser and how it can be very innacurate. Nice to know that both methods can wrongly accuse you and you are basically guilty until you prove yourself innocent (vitually imposible) if caught with either.
