| Dear Sir |
|
|
Re:- Request for
Information. |
|
| On the [date] of
[month, year] I was reported by a police officer for an offence of
exceeding the speed limit. I understand that [Radar? Lidar? Vascar?
Pacing?] equipment was used [in conjunction with a video camera] to obtain
evidence against me. |
|
| I am writing to
let you know that I am now in receipt of your Summons and will be
contesting this allegation in Court. I do not believe that I was
exceeding the speed limit and that the equipment must have been... a)
Faulty... or b) used incorrectly. |
|
| In accordance
with the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, I am therefore
writing to request a copy of all evidence that you intend to rely on in
Court, including any photographs or video recordings. Additionally,
in support of my defence I shall also require a copy of... |
|
- The Calibration Certificate and
maintenance records for the equipment used.
|
- Copies of the Officers pocketbooks
showing that they checked the calibration of the equipment at the
start and finish of the day in question.
|
- Details of the officer's training...
including any 'certificates of competence'.
|
- a copy of the Instruction Manual for
the Radar (or Lidar) equipment.
|
- A copy of the Force's operating
procedures.
|
|
| In accordance
with the Act cited above, I will require this evidence not less than seven
days prior to any hearing date. |
|
| Thank you for
your assistance in this matter. |
|
| Your
faithfully |
|
| A.
Smith. |
