Michael Shrimpton, noted national security and intelligence expert, went to a UK court yesterday while representing a man for speeding. His plan was to claim that "prosecutions relying on cameras - both handheld and fixed - have been won on inadmissable evidence" because many of those cameras were put into use without approval from Parliament. He said, "It seems that around 10 million prosecutions, including fixed penalty cases, have been based on unapproved devices." Shrimpton won a a similar case two weeks ago on the same argument. A Home Office spokesman claims the cameras are legal and that the government won’t be embarrassed. We have yet to find out the result of his latest case.

Good luck to him. Despite the UK goverment’s denials, road accidents have increased there significantly since speed cameras were introduced. I hope this spreads the message that profit making speed cameras are dangerous.
