To put it politely, please take off the rose tinted spectacles.
Incase it had escaped your observation, a whole industry has sprung up where specialist lawyers make themselves available to challenge speeding tickets.
These speeding tickets are challenged on technicalities.
These technicalities relate to ?
That's right, issues with CALIBRATED fixed or mobile speed detection equipment, operated and maintained by trained individuals.
Typically the crux of the legal challenge is built around ?
Yes, that's right. Issues with the calibration of said equipment.
So, the chances of law enforcement issuing fines based upon "evidence" of speeding based on something that some random app on someone's phone has spat out ?
Yes, that's right. Zero, zilch, nada.
- mrguyorama 5y agoUnfortunately what that all REALLY means is that this system will only catch/charge speeders who also happen to not be able to afford a lawyer to challenge it or take the time off to take it to court.
- uuyi 5y agoYes. To be fair all low value financial punishments are ethically reprehensible on this ground. They don’t dissuade anyone with money because the consequences are low or easy to appeal and people who are poor are punished harder. This ends up in a situation where punishment causes an even larger cultural divide or pushes people to other crime to make ends meet.
