Wether the idea was to keep the number offences high or low it does not matter - I find this offensive !

Secret papers, leaked to the Evening Standard, make clear that one of the purposes of the move to add up to 180 new fixed camera sites is to "produce a steady daily flow of offences".

The thresholds at which the cameras catch drivers are adjusted to ensure the number of offences collected is kept to "a pre-determined daily level", the documents say.

Not only offensive but also entirely in contravention of the ethos the CSCP prostitute (or used to when they had a forum system).

Have you noticed one para in the article?

Quote:

This could rise if the number of drivers paying their fines could be increased above the current 40 per cent. TfL wants to outsource the Met's "inefficient"-offence-processing to Essex Police to increase the rate - another move furiously resisted by Scotland Yard.

"Percentage of drivers paying their fines.. 40%"?? Does this mean that 60% of the offences being trapped by the cameras are committed by vehicles and/or drivers that are untraceable? Or are they only following some of them up?
They'll have to hurry up with the development of the "uninsured & unlicensed driver camera" won't they!
