Speedgun King sacked as 500 motorists escape speeding fines

Speedgun King sacked as 500 motorists escape speeding fines

A police camera operator nicknamed the "Speedgun King" has been sacked after his force found it had issued 500 tickets in error.

This case highlights the dangers of having to meet targets and the methods employed to reach them. I would rather see these cameras concentrated on busy traffic light junctions, and capture those who seem to think saving a few seconds on journey time justifies jumping red lights.
