GATSOs do not take pictures of the driver. There is therefore no corroboration that the accused was connected with the offence.
At last.
At last.
Yet you say, "Once the offender has been placed behind the wheel - yes it does!".
Again you contradict yourself.
Yes. But only where such evidence exists as to their guilt. In the case of a GATSO there is none. That is why the requirement to name the driver exists.
Because the burden of proof is on the prosecution. If the case cannot be made without a confession then there is no case.
That is ALL there is evidence of.
Yes. But if they cannot get that evidence without forcing the driver to confess there is not enough evidence to convict.
Offenders that are shown to be guilty should have the book thrown at them. Sentencing is far too lenient and I would be as draconian as they come in that respect but ONLY if the evidence against the accused is irrefutable and the case can be made without recourse to forcing a confession.
No. Marc has already show several examples of precisely how it can happen.
