Simply wrong. These organisations' entire revenue stream depends on this purely administrative "law" being broken. The more that revenue drops, the more they will lower the prosecution thresholds and the more they will reduce limits without any valid safety reason to justify it. Indeed, that has already been happening in some places. That aside, there are people who have not been "speeding" who have been falsely accused. The LTI 20-20 and ProLaser III laser guns are extremely dodgy speed measuring devices and it is perfectly possible to obtain a speed reading of 58mph from pointing one at a stationary brick wall. I am confident that the government will lose billions of pounds in compensation claims at some point in the not too distant future, just as a previous government did with the highly dubious Lion Intoximeter breath testing machine some years ago. Well, what a powerful argument that was.
The LTI 20-20 is so unreliable that several European countries have stopped using them along with states in the US and in Canada. The unwanted output was then dumped on the UK and bought by gullible authorities who had no idea how to read a spec or test a unit. They relied instead on persecuting honest drivers to prove their point. The University of Erlangen did an excellent study of them and the problems with them. They concluded that they were not reliable enough to be used as evidence.
To which the solution was to find an accurate device. The same will happen with speed measuring, therefore the only way to combat these organisations is to deny them the revenue stream.

Hahaha! Sorry 'bout that - I didn't realise there was another d in another group. I'll have to speak to the union to see if they can sort it out I'll keep out of your way
So the cops and the judiciary are funded by speeding fines? May I suggest you research where the money goes, and indeed how much of it there is, before saying something so clearly ridiculous. A very tiny minority of those with speeding tickets. Aaah confidence. The Anti-Fact. It got your attention, didn't it?

I think I prefer the solution of targeting employees and burning their houses or turning their lives to shit. Seems to work for ther ALA. <nods to ADVISE>
You absolutely *will* pay more. Even if you go to court, see the evidence and plead guilty, you will then have to pay court costs. But of course you can't see the evidence unless you go to court. It's a fucking disgrace. Which is why I contested the summons I got, and received a SUMMONS WITHDRAWN notice 24 hours later.
No, the "Safety Camera Partnerships" (TM) are funded by speeding fines. If you know where the money goes as well as you claim to, then you'll know that the camera revenues go toward the cost of operating the cameras (and installing yet more) and paying the salaries and pensions of the schemes' employees (including yours, by any chance?). The rest goes to Gordon. As I understand it, they only get the money if the accused rolls over and meekly pays the fixed penalty without a fight. If a summons has to be issued, the partnership gets sweet FA. Is this correct? How do you know?

Quite. Just imagine the outcry from Cherie and her colleagues if a terrorist, rapist, murderer or even a burglar was stitched up in the same fraudulent manner.
Well to be fair, nothing would make me happier than Cherie getting gang raped, buggered and murdered by a bunch of Arab terrorists.
