| From the Daily Mail (excerpts):
North Wales Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom has been forced to adjourn dozens of speeding cases because the supposedly sworn police statements issued to the courts were generated by computer.
MP's and motoring groups last night demanded an end to the hounding of drivers by the police chief.
Brunstrom's speed camera partnership - Arrive Alive - had been producing what appeared to be sworn and signed statements by officers, but the reality was that the details were being copied onto a pre-formatted statement along with the policeman's signature and then scanned into the document.
***The prosecuting officers never saw the sworn statement, let alone signed them.***
Judge Derek Halbert, who was hearing an appeal at Mold Crown Court said "This court is unanimously of the view that the procedure is utterley inappropriate. It will stop. If it comes before me again I shall report the matter to the DPP"
Toryparty vice-chairman Nigel Evans was outraged. "He's not just cutting corners, he's cutting justice", he said. "It is barmy. Clearly he won't be happy until no-one is left driving"
END
