Safe Speed Forums

Hi wondering if anyone can help here or know of any similar situations that this has occurred.
The police have caught me travelling in excess of 100mph on a radar gun., silly yes I am aware of that and woud be willing to take the punishment, i have a clean drivers licence at present and have done now for 7 years. It has been brought to my attention however that the police were using the radar gun from private property and i was wondering if there was any reason why they cant do this and if they cant do it then does it affect the validity of the prosecution?
I would be grateful for any advice or assistance that could be given. I have contacted a solicitor but would like to have information to hand if needed. This incident has also occurred in Scotland if that makes any difference.
Thanks

I am sorry I can't resist this one - I hope you were wearing a crash helmet?

OK I'll get my coat......

The place to ask is PePiPoo. However, I suspect from previous occasions when the scameratsi have broken guidelines or even the law to gather their evidence that your speeding offence and their trespass (or whatever) would be treated as separate issues. In any case, trespass is a civil matter, not a criminal one, making it highly unlikely (IMO) that a claim that the evidence was obtained unlawfully would succeed.

However, I am not a lawyer and this is merely my "gut feeling".

Thanks for your advice, i have also posted a notice on pepipoo to see if i can get any information from them. cheers

If you weren't pulled over at the time and got a NIP through the post then it does and you'll want to read up on the unsigned NIP in Scotland thing. Which is somewhere on Pepipoo...
