Apart from the fact that it could be incredibly dangerous
and completely irresponsible to do this type of thing it does
provide a real life demonstration of why we must never
trust technology implicitly. At Roadtrafficlaw.com we take nothing for
granted and we always look behind all the technological
presumptions that the Crown may try to rely upon.
"Approved Devices" such as speed cameras, and intoximeters
have a very special status that means our Parliamentarians have
established that if these devices meet certain standards and are
used in a particular way then the courts of this country do not
need to look behind that. We consider that whilst this special
status is a necessary part of the legal process it can never be
taken for granted and we as defence agents will always examine
all devices used in our cases to ensure that the special status
is warranted and can be depended upon.
