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.

If you challenge the 'evidence' the CPS would probably have dropped the case
anyway!

The cameras are not all that accurate.
