Speed Camera's Operating To Different Rules!
02 April 2007
The way speed cameras are set up to catch drivers varies "massively" around the country, researchers have found. Motorists can drive up to 15mph over the speed limit before they are flashed by a camera in some areas, and in others, they will rarely be pursued to pay their fine. Researchers at Oxford University's Said Business School embarked on the study of the nation's speed cameras as part of an investigation into how our activities are increasingly regulated by technology.

SPECS Camera's on M25
14 March 2006
The Holmesdale tunnel, which is the tunnel by junction 25 on the M25 is going to have SPECS cameras fitted in it. They are rear facing ones so bikes will be read as well. These are very small CCTV type cameras which work on ANPR-type number plate readings. They are a set distance apart and read your number plate as you pass each camera. If you travel between the two in too short a time frame, then you are obviously speeding and your picture is taken.

Almost All Speed Camera Cases Should Be Thrown Out
01 March 2006
Nearly all speed camera prosecutions are based on inadmissible evidence and can therefore be thrown out, according to Motor Cycle News. Defendants are not given evidence on time and camera scheme organisers are breaching the 1967 Criminal Justice Act by not providing a photo or video evidence of an offence at least seven days before a trial, Motor Cycle News (MCN) said in its latest edition.

BMF Welcomes Re-Think on Speed Cameras
21 December 2005
The Transport Secretary Alistair Darling says that there is going to be more flexibility over speed camera policy. The (BMF) British Motorcyclists Federation has welcomed the announcement. The BMF say, over-hyped by the over-zealous, speed cameras, sited sensibly, can nevertheless reduce speed-related accidents. But news that cameras will now be seen as only part of local road safety schemes and not treated as the automatic panacea to road casualty reduction, is a welcome change in policy. These so-called ‘safety cameras' are no substitute for proper policing say the BMF. Speed in itself is rarely the primary cause of an accident, but inappropriate speed is. What cameras have done is to allow police road traffic patrols to be reduced, hence the drop in drink-driving and careless driving cases, not because drivers are better, simply that the police are no longer around to see such offences committed.

Spy cameras to track the every move of drivers
04 December 2005
According to an Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), a strategy document was leaked to the Sunday Times about a 24x7 national vehicle movement database that is now being built. It going to be able log everything on the UK's roads and retains the data for at least two years. The new system, which will use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), will be overseen from a main control centre in Hendon, London. It is going to be like a 'Gatso 2' network, extending, enhancing and linking all existing CCTV, ANPR and speedcam systems and databases. Which perhaps explains why the egg heads in ACPO's tech section don't seem to have needed any kind of Parliamentary approval to begin the deployment of what promises to be one the most all-encompassing surveillance systems on our planet.
