Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: NIP EROS image states "rear plate" when it's the front plate in the image
« on: August 19, 2024, 12:47:08 pm »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!
Why does the offence image state 'Manual Rear Plate'. the image is the front of the vehicle?
The ‘MANUAL : REAR PLATE’ wording on the offence image indicates the speedmeter has been set by the operator to the mode most suitable to capture motorcycles and other vehicles. It is the preferred operating mode for the LaserTech Trucam2 operators as when operating in this mode it allows the device to continue recording after the speed has been measured for as long as the trigger remains depressed. In this way if a motorcycle is detected approaching the operator, they can follow the motorcycle as it passes them and capture the number plate at the rear, as motorcycles have no front number plate.
