Looking through the net, I found numerous manuals for the Lti device, the one used by mostly ALL the forces in their camera vans and ...

I remember about 10 years ago, I was fighting a case and asked for the manual to be presented, but the CPS jumped up and started to scream that this is a sensitive document and can't be released!

But it seems in 2011, they have finally lost the battle and there seems to be manuals from forces all over the country on their websites for DL!

Shame this wasn't released 10 years ago!


Out of curiosity, have anyone used the manual successfully in courts to prove that the recommendations by the manufacturer wasn't carried out? things like sight alignment and instrument accuracy checks?

Is your question related to a live case, or could you simply not bother to see if we had an appropriate forum for questions relating to speed detection devices?

Some people think that I make them feel stupid. To be fair, they deserve most of the credit.

It is related to a live case where it was used in fog on a dual carriage way.

I would have provided more information, but currently awaiting to see I have actually been caught or not.

If you don't even know if you were caught how on earth can you know what device was being used?

If it's this case, you could pay the fine and costs out of tickets and popcorn sales

No, that case is a average speed case.

This one, was in the early hours of the morning, 7.30am on a SUNDAY! going to work down a dual carriage way. Then saw the camera van in distance.

The constabulary in question has bought about 4 new vans in the recent 12 months and they pop up all over the place. They all use the LTI20-20 device with a huge lens on them which according to a spokesman for the force, they can pick up a car from a mile away!

I don't like these devices since they rely on a operator operating them correctly. where as the fixed devices, don't rely on human error! I know I wasn't speeding, but due to the fog and mist, what if the device recorded incorrectly?

As long as they had a clear line of sight then fog shouldn't be an issue.

If you could see him, he can see you.

But then if you weren't speeding or don't have a nip this is a nothing thread.

The LTi 20.20 has always worked to 1km.

1km is about half a mile? But they say it can pick you up from about a mile away!

I am not a photographer, but I know when I zoom in from a very long distance, then the slightest movements in hand, can have a big impact on the position of the target!

Unless it is just a scare tactic and although it works up to a mile, due to false reads in the real world, they only use it at shorter distances?

The manual says it has a range of 1000m, which comic did you read saying it was 1 mile?

If you have been caught remember to respond to the s172 unequivocally.

They operate at all times of day - the only defence is not to speed.

One km is a bit further than half a mile....

This is what I was told by an operator of one when I met him at one of those country fairs that they come and sit there for people to take a look around.


I must say though inside it look awesome. Not what I really thought what it would look like !

Well if you've seen inside you'll know the gun is mounted and not hand held.

I do. However i am sure you know when you are on the side of a road, specially a dual carriage way, then any car that goes past you will make your car rock slightly. Now if you are trying to ping a car which is 1Km is away or more, then any movements in the car can cause the camera to move and possibly give a slip error?

Clutching at straws I'm afraid, you would have to go to court and try to prove that and the cost of failure could be very high if expert witnesses are brought in.

It's in a van not a car...will a car passing a van rock it sufficiently?
Can you say that such a movement occurred?
Even if it did....did you see it occur?
If yes, which vehicle caused it to move?
Bearing in mind you've already said it was foggy.....

Sorry but I agree with Mrh3369 in that you're clutching at straws

It would be 1km or less, not more.

If you think that and you have been caught plead not guilty, as for the recording in the ping and then find yourself and expert to convince the court that's what happened.

The 'huge' lens isn't attached to the speedscope, it's connected to the video camera. The latest lens being offered with new kit are Canon image stabilised, that come with an optional x2 converter allowing a focal length of 1000mm.

This has no impact on the operation of the laser whatsoever and is used solely for the purposes of vehicle identification. The greater the magnification available, the more operational flexibility you have at sites with very long stretches of carriageway.

One other point, remember, the UK LTI manuals you see available will usually be produced by the importers NOT the manufacturer.
