A spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said: "The
officer who operated the camera has since retired.

"Without his verbal evidence, we could not prove the case to the
required standard."

So the copper had retired, convenient or merely convenient?
So they'd have believed a cop's word over GPS data ?
They would have believed the data from the police mobile camera if the
operator had given verbal evidence. The scientist's invention, and the
claimed accuracy of its data, is a red herring. The CPS simply
offered no evidence and dropped the case.

And if he hadn't had that data?



When you get the NIP, you know where and when the camera 'got' you.

Given an hour, I could produce GPS data (NMEA) to prove I was doing whatever speed I liked along that road...
