Nicked Last Year
Discussion
When I was caught speeding last year (not in the Noble) in Yorkshire I was denied all access to the video evidence before and after I had pleaded, and before and after the case was heard in court. I've dug around generally since then and found that I should have been given access to this in the earliest stages of the case as soon as I had asked for it.
My concern is that without the video, I still don't know if they even pointed the device at me, or at a car coming the other way, a car that had gone past 5 minutes before, or a bird 50ft in the air. The distance at which they caught me was also suspisciously far away - 601.8m - the maximum dstance is 609m. Just to see, I parked the car and walked back 600m - it was really a pretty small target to hit with a laser device.
Has anyone else experienced this, and is it legal for them to deny the video (and any other) evidence?
Thanks for any input.
P.S. I WAS speeding and I'm not expecting sympathy - just hard facts. Thanks.

Yes well spotted, there's simply no end to your talent is there 
Tell me, do you still roll the sleeves up on your Armani thute!
Tell me, do you still roll the sleeves up on your Armani thute!with that question its very obvious that you dont know me i would never wear a suit
but as for your number plate i am sure that there is loads of people that it would be more suited to on the porsche site especially the last 3 letters
SO does this mean that basicaly the CPS has lied to me throughout and has broke the Human Rights Act?
If so, what can I do really? Sue them, get the video (if it shows subsequently that the police didn't get a good reading does this mean the case can be overturned)?
I would just love to know how they got me from so far away....

I was done about two years ago............wait for it............56 in a 50 on a dual carridgway. I asked to see the speed reading and some proof that it was me, they refused.
Hand held gun in a line of traffic, pleaded not guilty as i didnt think i was speeding.
In court the two coppers contradicted themselves several times as to who held the gun, where it was pointing and how faw away i was.
Verdict Guilty, reason given was "the police officers were using the home office approved equipement and had been correctly traned" £800 please and three points.
A very good lawyer advised me not to appeal unless i wanted to risk £5000.
If the police say you did it................you did it, in Essex anyway.

This is what a lawyer told me would happen. Crazy isn't it?
And they expect us to embrace their safety campaigns?!?!?
