Speed Guns Misfiring: Tonight with Trevor McDonald

20:00 - 20:30 Monday, 5 March

A motorist meets Mark Jordan to make claims that the speed guns police officers use to enforce limits are seriously flawed and error-prone.

His views are backed up by people who have successfully challenged the device's readings in court.

Postponed from February 26, for the programme about a fat boy.

Yes it was confirmed on the Tonight programme tonight that it would be on Friday, although not yet confirmed on the ITV website.

That was even more positive than the last time, with a healthy dose of cynicism directed at the Home Office for refusing to disclose their 'rigorous' research which proves the camera's accuracy.

Nice to see the usual threats from ACPO regarding huge costs if you dare attempt to prove your innocence. :(

Links to Pepipoo and Safe Speed from ITV.com might bring in a few new members too. :welcome: if that's you!

top article - made the authorities look like they just had their fingers in their eyes signing at the top of their voice.

very damaging for the cops too.
