Councillor caught speeding by camera he bought for police.

A Staffordshire county councillor who used civic funds to buy police a mobile speed camera has been caught speeding by the same camera.

Robert Marshall, who is also a South Staffordshire district councillor, was caught doing 42mph in a 30mph zone in Bilbrook, near Wolverhampton.

He was snapped by the mobile camera two months ago. Prior to that he was caught speeding by a fixed camera while travelling between Wolverhampton and Dudley.

Now he has six points on his licence - three from each offence - and has had to pay two £40 fines, says the Express & Star.

He said: "If more people are caught by these mobile speed cameras then more people, like myself, will get the message about speeding. I have now got to be careful for three years."

After three years he can apply to have the six points removed from his driving licence. If he reaches 12 points during the three years then he could lose his licence and be banned from the roads.

Councillor Marshall added: "The county council allocates all councillors £10,000 to spend on good causes and projects in our patch. I thought that helping to buy this mobile speed camera would be good."

Well he didn't seem to get the message after getting done the first time around! FCUKwit

they are all twits.

excellent ! I'm so glad he got caught. Now lets hope he gets caught twice more and banned, and loses his job. But likely as not, he'll get a chauffeur driver courtesy of the tax payer....

This bloke was interviewed on the BBC this morning. One bit that stood out was his remark that he will spend more time while driving paying attention to his speedometer .... theres a leap forward in safet as he will be paying less attention to the road.

Moron.

Same points we hear about cameras every time.

NIMBY!!!

Doesn't want others speeding but it's fine when he does it, even in a 30 zone. Now he'll be driving with his eyes glued to the speedo, though probably just to make sure it doesn't get above 39mph this time!

I HATE these people!

Find out his car make model and color, borrow yer mates identical model with mr speeding councillors number on it and proceed back and forth past "His" speed camera at higher and higher speeds. Get him banned and more importantly FINED!
Then send him a nice email: HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?
