Human rights violations and the speed camera issue
Discussion
Ive been wondering why it is that no one has tried resorting to the Human Rights legislation, in respect of the current speed camera and talivan operations in this country.
Is there a knowledgeable PHer who could shed some light on the possibilities of bringing a case against the state on the grounds of (to my mind anyway) violations of motorists rights to travel freely, and not to be put in constant fear and harassement and prosecution?
I have attempted to find the relevant legislation regarding these rights, but im not having major success just yet.
Any help appreciated.

English law (and Scottish, I believe) says the "public good" over-rides your human rights here.
Idris Francis is progressing the European Court of Human Rights, claiming he has the right to silence when asked who was driving.
He aims to prove that cameras are doing nothing for the "public good" by showing that they're doing nothing to reduces casualties.
It'll be a long time but, if he wins his case, you might be right.
ABD site has the info. Look for "right to silence"

Yeah i know about Idris Francis case, but my attention wouldnt be focused on the part of the act that hes decided to take issue with.
Mine is concentrated on the issue of the freedom to travel unimpeded and with state harassement, the tracking and monitoring of its citizens to their detriment.
Its along similar lines but in a different area.
