Hi,
I've had an NIP this morning - its for a 38 in a 30. The NIP is accurate insomuch as the Name, Address, Location and Date of alleged offence are all correct. I was driving my two year old to a swimming lesson at 10ish in the morning. The hand held camera operator was by themselves, in a small hi-viz, hidden round a corner where the speed reduced from 50 to 30 (dual carriage way to housing estate). I was decelerating too slowly and he must have caught me before I'd managed to get down to 30. They have claimed there is photo/video of the alleged offence but not included it. Is it worth asking for it before filling out the NIP and sending it off? The NIP is a "Excess 30 MPH - Manned Camera & Local Order" one from Cheshire Constabulary. Many thanks for any advice. W. |

The officer is a witness, like any other he can give evidence of a crime, he also has his opinion you were committing a criminal offence backed up by the reading from what is almost certainly an approved device that is deemed accurate unless proven otherwise. How much more evidence do you think should be needed, its the way people have been caught speeding (pretty much) for 100 years.
