Speeding fines

[Moscow Mule]

No civil law was broken.

Except for that one about staying under the speed limit.

Correct me if I am wrong, but that comes under criminal law.

Civil law deals with making right any loss caused to another and not hurting another person - the more humane and less money orientated side of the law. But like i said please correct me if i am wrong - I could possibly be talking out of my orafice on this one, but this is my simple understanding.

Do-gooder.

Does anybody question the law on here? (obvoiusly our peers look down on us crims)

When were sppeding fines introduced? Why? Does it stop people speeding? Does it save lives? Or just create more revenue?

Why can't I get a copper when I need one, like attending a burglary in progress, but there are so many out on traffic duty much of the time.

Fines for putting your bins out wrong, fines for not paying the correct tax, fines, fines, fines, I do see it as indiscriminate taxation. Although society would class me as a child killer for attaining a speed which was within the limits a little while ago but then changed.

Haven't got time for a long winded argument at the moment, so this is all just to poke the flames a bit and retreat. I will leave you all to your do-gooding and self-gratuitous back patting for maintaining within the law. Whether right or wrong. No civil law was broken.

Full marks for not reading anything I posted, but no doubt you were too busy, like you were too busy to slow down and/or look at your speedo or notice the camera - your choice

Hands up gov' its a fair cop. I did glance over it. Was it good? Any chance of paraphrasing? Your right, I am too busy.

The thing that stuck out was you saying I was a whiner. And I bit.

The issue most have been complaining on here is being caught by camera. Being caught by plod in person seems to be considered fairer.
