I don't agree because I think the police do care - they might be under resourced though. But whatever, that still doesn't undermine either the logic or need for dealing with other offences in an effective manner.

Come on Andy, don't be naive. The thing about 'to help investigate accidents' is just a cover story. They might start off being used for that, but it will then be a short step before they are used to automatically issue fixed penalty notices for speeding offences. You won't need a court process it'll just deduct the money from your bank account. The government have already indicated they intend to pass laws that will force everyone to disclose their bank details to the government to enable automated collection of these and other penalties, such as the congestion charges.
I mean come on people, are you really happy with all of this? Think carefully of the implications.

I'm not saying I'm happy with the idea. But if you want evidence (cos you don't believe the findings of the independent report into the life saving effectiveness of Gatsos) then these may well give you plenty of detail on the impact of speeding on accident and casualty rates.
