My sister has subscribed to a website and recieves updates from a guy called Adam Blair who gives updates and information on speedtraps and new developments, just thought the below may be of use to someone.

We have just uncovered that a brand new speed camera -- the
> "PatrolVision 500" -- may be ILLEGAL .
> The new camera is the most sophisticated yet and works by
> linking a Pro Laser III (which the BTST detects up to 2 miles
> away) with the camera captures the drivers'
> face.
> But the thing is, while the Pro Laser III has been approved by
> the Home Office, the CCTV camera HAS NOT BEEN
> "TYPE APPROVED".
> The Speed Camera Authority who are introducing the new type of
> camera claim that it doesn't need to be type approved because
> the camera doesn't measure speed, the laser gun does.
> However, we have uncovered this to be factually incorrect.
> In fact, the two devices need to be Type Approved TOGETHER to
> be legal.
> The Speed Meter Handbook which is published by the Home Office
> states that anything that is ATTACHED to a speed camera must be
> type-approved, not just the camera itself.
> Further, the 1991 Road Traffic Act states that...
> "Only evedence from a Type Approved device may be used in a
> court of law."
> We feel that 'Safety Camera Partnerships' and the Police may
> be relying on drivers and riders admitting that they were
> driving at the time of the alleged offence and actually KNOW
> that the evedence gained from the PatrolVision 500 is not
> acceptable as evidence in court.
> ...in other words, it is an intimidation tactic with the
> objective of conning the motorist in to incriminating themself.
> Because once you incriminate yourself (even if it was under the
> threat of prosecution), the arguement of 'if' the device is legal
> or not can not be used to save you.
> In other words, never incriminate yourself (unless of course you
> know that you are guilty, in which case you must!)
> If you would like to fight back against these underhand
> practices then see http://www.justiceforeveryone.co.uk/adam.htm
> BUT DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THERE AT THE MOMENT
> because the big BTST Christmas sale is still on at
> http://www.btstchristmas.com/
> All the best,

MCN have been trying for months to get a certain camera illegal for use against bikes after proving how inaccurate it is but the cases and convictions are still going thru...need some £££ a good brief to fight it but worth knowing anyway

Who needs accuracy in an internet rumour.......

Well, these devices haven't been approved yet so you could well get done for speeding even if you aren't speeding. This is the whole point, they haven't been APPROVED, surely you can understand this, surely? surely? surely?

pslewis

Its BOLLOX and you know it is .......... just a bunch of speeders looking for a way out

hey none of us bought a scoob to never use it. not saying i condone iit or actively do it but it happens where you look down and think whoops.

I'd still have my fessy 1.1 bonus if i wanted to be certain of never speeding as you look at least 37 minutes of constant acceleration to hit 60mph - ( be at work by then )
