Your unique combination of intellect, humour, patience, honesty, determination, courage and diplomacy will be g... |

| Now this might be very interesting. A Gatso camera flashed and photographed an oncoming vehicle (it flashed in my face, actually, which isn't very clever). But I reckon there's a good chance that I'm in the shot. Remember the surveillance commissioner's warning about unauthorised surveillance and t... |

I can't say I've EVER heard of one being used, and I don't know its type approval status. The Poltech camera you refer to is now the Redflex LaserCam NT and has held UK Type Approval si... |

| Surprise surprise after over 8 months I saw a CSCP van in Kendal, and after dark as well. But for some reason they were more interested in flashing cars doing 30-35mph in a 40mph zone - blimey those flashes are bright, can see an accident being caused in the future!! So, what system are they now us... |
