Speed Camera Legality

[adzboarder]

In the Metro "news"paper this morning, it states that police are being stripped of powers and that cameras will be responsible for recording and collating wrong-doers commiting driving crimes.

This is excellent news for the Freemen is it not?

When the court proceedings start for a traffic violation, we call in the principal witness that is the camera - is this correct?

How genius that we can blow all this court BS out of the water, why are the PTB making it easy for us?

Or have I just got the wrong end of the stick?

Here's the Metro article:-

And similar on BBC:-

Seems the anti-speed-camera brigade have got it all wrong, in court cases just call forward the witness which is an immovable inanimate object. Case dismissed!

Prima facie, it would appear to be good news ... but just wait for the next instalment of the Fraudulent Statute Creation Game ...

What's the bet that there will suddenly appear a statute claiming that computer testimony is to be accepted without the ability to "cross examine" or to question it?

of course, this would be a complete perversion of justice - but when has that ever stopped them before? :mad:
