Unfortunately if you can't share details with us, we can't really help. You're convinced you're in the right so hopefully that works out well for you.Yorkshirebloke68 said:I have found 3 pillars of doubt which I wont list on here,(to give any snooping police a heads up)
There is definitely an element of it being cheaper to accept the fixed penalty than fight it, especially with a lack of evidence of innocence, but you're better looking at it as a discount for mitigating everyones costs and not as a punishment for standing up for yourself.Yorkshirebloke68 said:Being pressured with massive fines, extra costs etc is also a mitigating factor to challenge as how many people cave in due to the harshly worded threats of 'if you waste our time at court we will impose much harsher penalties?
You haven't been offered any proof yet, that only comes later. You've been given a couple of images so you can identify the driver. Though admittedly how they expect you to do that from a picture of the back doors I don't know, but it's at least confirmation that it's the right van.Yorkshirebloke68 said:When all i was asking for was absolute proof as the bits provided are contradictory and now upon a much deeper look also has more than ever questions and 'doubts' that this was done correctly.(I couldn't find the FTLA thread to comment on that)

You will never be given "absolute proof".Yorkshirebloke68 said:When all i was asking for was absolute proof as the bits provided are contradictory and now upon a much deeper look also has more than ever questions and 'doubts' that this was done correctly. The CPS will be given the letter and files asap ..
What you will be given is the evidence the prosecution will rely on. Whether that amounts to proof (beyond reasonable doubt) is for the court to decide, but you can form an opinion on that likelihood.0 -
If you’re so confident that the Police were wrong, notify them of who was driving, don’t accept their offer of a FPN or speed awareness course and have your say in Court. Obviously, if you’re found guilty at Court, the penalty and costs will be a lot more than a FPN.0
