Thank you for your letter of 2 September 2005. To answer the three questions you raised: Yes the police can use Home Office approved speed detection equipment overtly or covertly whenever there is a need to prevent speeding drivers. Partnership equipment for example cameras, but not liveried vehicles, may be used by police officers that are not funded by the programme provided this does not adversely affect the partnership's enforcement at core sites. Fines from police speed enforcement carried out outside the partnership scheme cannot be claimed back by the partnership but are kept by the Treasury. |
