I wonder how many other people are prosecuted and fined because of police incompetance

I love they way people retire or quit as soon as they get in trouble or do something incorrect.

It happens all the time in government and is pathetic imo...

I hope this device becomes widely available as like the article says it could save people thousands.

Glad to see someone hasn't been convicted wrongly, wonder how much the software/device will cost?

Guess it logs your speed all the time though - great for proving you were doing 30 in a residential but no good if they find out you were doing more than 60 in a national speed limit!

And reveal some areas of government law enforcement the bunch of dim-witted self riteous power abusers they are.

I got pulled over once in birmingham whe i had my 2.8 CQ a few yeasr ago now, copper said the usual - young guy in a nice car etc etc.. gave me a producer and I was off on my way.... when i got my docs out, i hadn't realised my MOT was out by 2 days, so duly took my docs to the cop-shop and admitted my MOT was out.... got a letter through 2 weeks later for a court summons for having no MOT - fine i thought.

Then i read the summons more fully - the copper had put the reason he pulled my over that i was speeding and driving dangerously... so had i been summoned to court for something more serious, it would have looked as if i was driving like a madman, being a danger to other road users.......... and they wonder why noone trusts or has any faith in the police

I had some good news today on a different note. the westminster parking gestapo tried to send me a parking fine which never happened in june. I appealed and they declined so appealed to national parking fines thing and guess what, they have withdrawn a few days before. So why couldnt they just admit they were wrong in the first place instead of trying to extort £150 out of me. RANT OVER

seeing the state of the nation NHS and criminal database government computer systems, the uk needs a hacker-for-hire service to just nip in and erase your "offence" off the records.... seems fair to me if they just levey fines at whoever they want, guilty or not

well you can practice that sort of stuff at www.hackthissite.org
