read what i said.
No matter what technicality you try and pull out the bag, you cant deny that 130mph was speeding
even if you say the camera wasnt calibrated recently, it might have read "only" 120mph if correctly tested.
120mph is still speeding
All speed measuring devices are innaccurate to a degree, its whats considered acceptable that matters.
for cases of gross speeding, such accuracy tolerances make no fucking difference to the fact that the person was clearly speeding. To say otherwise is stupid.
Its the same in many other areas of criminal law. Eg cases being thrown out because of spelling errors and other such pathetic administrative errors. Completely stupid. Just correct the fucking paperwork or admin error.
Luckily many magistrates dont give a fuck about technicalities in clear cut cases and rightly so IMO. eg in the old days CCTV had to conform to certain standards to be admissable in court. Nowadays that is simply not the case. If your camera shows high quality footage of cuntface breaking into your house, it matters not that the time stamp was a few minutes out or it was filmed on a uncertified private camera system. The footage stands for itself.
