I used to be a speed camera operator in Victoria when in the Police. How many people get a speed camera fine in the mail and don't request a copy of the picture? Too many I think. There is a very good reason for requesting this picture as it may very well save you a fine and demerit points. For example if in the picture your vehicle is there but there is also another vehicle in the picture and there is no gap between them (in other words you can't see any road or light as they have crossed over) then write a letter explaining you will fight the ticket as there is no way knowing they can prove it was your vehicle and not the other one that was speeding, also they can't book two vehicles for the one offence.... always get the picture as you just never know what errors there are in there.....

My husband is currently fighting a Speeding Fine in Court and yes it is a bit of effort but in the long run, it will not only benefit you but others who have had the same problem. The Officer who gave my husband the Fine has been banned from using a Handheld Radar. This means that many others who could of potentially been falsely booked by him, will now not be..The problem is that there are too many people not prepared to make an effort and while ever this happens, the Police will continue to get away with it. By the way, my Husband has already been told that the evidence he has will make it easy for him to get out of paying.
