The cynic in me would observe that there's probably never been a "better" time to move the "KSI goalposts"! Of course, which way they move will depend on a number of factors. I'm sure the scamera partnerships and those with a vested interest in scamera operations would I'm sure, want it to be revised such that the point is made that KSIs have gone UP since the scameras were switched off!

I shall have to read it in depth but just glancing through it I'm utterly gobsmacked at how hit-and-miss the current susyem appears to be! It's everything CSCP's staff used to deny vehemently! I am left with the overall question "why do the police have to do it anyway? We already have perfectly good "trauma scoring" systems in use in hospitals - who are rather better equipped to assess injuries than the copper (or even paramedics) on the scene! Why do we even need to do the job twice???!!!
