Another "technical glitch" with a camera

Hee hee! Keep up the good work Nick!

[anonymous-user]

What were the first 9 points for anyone know, not speeding per chance ?

Could be like the term repeat offender if so eh

[ypauly]

how do we get nick freeman a knighthood?

[Dwight VanDriver]

Crafty CPS.

Withdrawing before the fight. Will we ever know the technicallity breached?

Not unless we pay £4,000?

Agreed, and possibly also crafty mister loophole for taking the disclosure route, as a result he can keep the basis for the acqittal to himself for the next MEP tootling along watching the road not the speedo.

Wise words DVD. The CPS are as aware of the flaws a Freeman. I'm sure the first 9 points in this case were for speeding (probably similar transgressions) and I'm not defending this MEP. But every case like this shows the cameras in their true light.

I wonder when the general public will get so angry over petty speeding offences that they actually do something?

The cps have a duty of full disclosure 7 days before the hearing and I bet they didn't do that. Or the defendant was willing to stand up in court and say he never received the NIP paperwork via the mail within 14 days of the offence. They wouldn't want that gem slipping out.

[Dogwatch]

Thirty-five in a thirty! He should be locked up to protect the rest of us from his furious driving.

Watch your speed, not the road!

[Sheriff JWPepper]

Still too fast for him to spot the camera.

You presume that is was readily visible - it could have been a van that tagged him from 800m away.

[Sheriff JWPepper]

Those vans are even bigger.

not if the markings make it look like a builders van


those cheeky robbing bastards

[Sheriff JWPepper]

They don't change size just because they look like builders' vans.

ETA: Tongue firmly in cheek with above posts and some crap spelling.

How big are they to the human eye and can you distinguish the features at 800m ?

[Sheriff JWPepper]

Not sure & yes because I have clean licence.

The problem is you assume you're in the majority. Don't under estimate just how many people are actually pro-camera / anti-speed.

How terrable a presumption by burgmeister, that the majority of the population are not dumb, gullable, retarded, senile, stupid, mental, weak between the ears nor have a fetish for oppresion ect ect. Subsequently becoming an inescapeable conclusion he is one of the more enlightened majority.

I can say with some certainty that unless you are the 6 million dollar man you won't be able to resolve any of the signs or writing

Fishface has a hugely significant point we tend to overlook round these parts.

Afaics, many folk are mindlessly sympathetic to the pettiness of the oppression for no other reason than yup, they have been successfully brainwashed: 'rules is rules and the fact that you've been nabbed is evidence enough of your guilt...'

Unsurprisingly, these people themselves speed, almost habitually and annoyingly for me personally is the familiar pattern of serial urban speeding which I do not condone, for reasons of the bleedin' obvious.

When I point out that 100 on a very busy M62 might be a tad unadvisable, the response is along the lines of 'everybody does it.'

The whole debacle is pure, hypocritical farce.
