But Mr Marsh said that this was not necessary, and that the case had been a rare one. He said: "Every speed camera is double-checked by a member of staff who views the footage and calculates the speed of the lorry by measuring the distance it has travelled in a certain time.

"And in this case the operator has made a mistake. Whether he fell asleep when doing the checking or whether he accidentally clicked the button marked ‘prosecute’ when he meant to click the button marked ‘no further action’ I don’t know.


Or whether he was under pressure to meet targets maybe?

There are a variety of ways to 'quality control' decision making where that decision is important and accountability needs to be maintained. In the NHS we require 2 signatures for the administration of controlled drugs by nurses. In some circumstances Health Care Assistants in the community administer prescription drugs with two signatures. -One dispenses & administers, the other one watches, both sign.

Nice to see the partnerships were watching Homer Simpson in his workplace for their model. :loco:
