At this point, you're only being asked to name who was driving the vehicle at the time.

EROS is the system used to produce NIPs - the chances are they have the correct image and have simply used a different frame. Was this a static camera or a mobile camera van? However, the chances are some overworked Police Staff member has simply selected the wrong drop-down box on the software.

The pictures on the NIP have no relevant however, as they are just to identify the vehicle involved rather than being the "evidential copies" relied on further down the line.

I know we're just at the identity stage but that's not relevant.

The pictures aren't on the NIP though, they're the ones provided by D&C on their portal but I guess they may have just selected some rather than them being evidential. I assumed the included text was generated automatically by the camera system and as such the settings would have a bearing on its operation. But perhaps not. It was a mobile camera van which is why I wondered if the "plate" reference referred to the location of the camera mounting, not the number plate.

Hi

Have received a NIP for apparently doing 80 on the M4 in Devon last week.

The D&C police portal has 3 "EROS images" taken of the car. However, only one is labelled and shows the speed but the labelling says "Rear Plate". Does this refer to the car numberplate or the location in the van the camera was mounted?

If the former, it's incorrect. If the latter then I guess it's a fair cop!
