THE recent letters in your columns concerning Mr Baddeley, who went to court over speed cameras, make me ask what has happened to the English sense of justice and fair play.

In my opinion the speed camera featured in the Worcester News' front page picture doesn't comply with the law, and that the magistrates were wrong to fine Mr Baddeley.

Furthermore, I believe that decision brings the law into dispute. I, and perhaps many others, will assume that the reason for Mr Baddeley's conviction is simply to uphold the "robbery laws" of the speed camera partnership.

Isn't depriving motorists of their driving licences, for such a minor transgression of the speed laws totally unjust?

Does "The Law" punish the vandal, the mugger, the yob, and the thief, to the full extent of the law, for every single offence? It doesn't, does it?

Isn't Mr Baddeley therefore another victim of our Stalinist state?"

Don't New Road's "18 accidents over three years" amount to one accident, every three-and-a-half million journeys, along that road?

Isn't that equivalent to the standard of safety practised by airlines, and doesn't that make the speed camera partnership's remarks ridiculous?

N TAYLOR,

Worcester.
