National Database

Thought I would pass this on as I am sure it applies to most of us.

Following the Governments Freedom of Information Act, you can now gain access
to speed camera offences registered in the last 12 months.

Did you know that every time your vehicle goes past a speed camera, even if
you are only 1 mph over the set limit, it is registered and placed onto a
NATIONAL database?



You only get prosecuted if you are way over the limit OR (this is the bit
that is not common knowledge) if you record 10 near misses ,when you will
become classed as a serial offender and will be prosecuted the next time you
go just over the limit, even by one or two miles per hour.




This is why you hear of people being prosecuted for doing 31 or 34 in a 30
mph limit area, whilst other doing 39 mph do not, (although they are recorded
on the database). This is particularly relevant considering the number of
cameras on the M60/M5 and A30 during the past 2 years during the redesign of
the motorways/road.

Not many people realise that under the Freedom of Information Act you can
check what has been registered against your vehicle to see how far off the 10
times over the limit you are.

The URL is www.e-database.co.uk/default.asp
<http://www.e-database.co.uk/default.asp>

You will be asked for a password but just click on the 'need a password link'
and you will be given one for future use.

If there is any data on your vehicle you can click on the camera window to
see a copy of the actual photograph.



You will thank me for this.

In Canada the photo's are still shots and need to be manually collected from the camera periodically.

To my knowledge no such data base exists in Canada or the US for that metter.

The UK uses a totally different approuch to traffic monituring.
Live camera feeds to a central dispatch. Nice way to do it, but over here that has been ruled a breach of the privicy act.

LMAO.... ...Have you guys actually followed the link?.... ..

[watershield]

Nope
Actually I couldn't, my visus scan kicks and tells me it's an unsafe link.....I take it we got hood winked!

Gotta love some people, eh? It didn't make sense to me, so I didn't look. Sounds like our "friend" is having fun hoodwinking innocent people. There is another under the Guest book thanking you for signing up to a site with the URL listed. It is probably the same type of thing.
