Re: Gatso said to be inaccurate...
This might go someway to explain why I've been flashed 4 times* over the last year going into Colchester. there are 2 cameras and I'm a good by so its 30 mph as soon as I get into the zone (and not just where the cameras are) but even then I've been flashed 4 times (one time I was only doing 25 according to my Speedo).
If what this guy says is true then there is a major issues because the prosecution is based on the assumption that the 2 photos were taken 500 ms apart. If this is not the case then the cameras at the very least need recalibrating. If the police are being good about this then they should look at the speeding convictions from that camera and refund those that are likely to be due to duff calibration.**
oh and the reason that there is no real response from the police etc. is because they were already approached by the gent in question and he got no response. I also suspect that as a policy, the police et al. will not comment on upcoming cases.
