This is an important point:<p><i>The app cannot lead to drivers receiving speeding tickets. Since Speedcam Anywhere’s algorithm has not been vetted by the Home Office, it is not legally a speed camera, and cannot provide sufficient evidence for a police force to issue a prosecution for speeding...</i><p>If you want to make the roads here safer, what we need is more resources to put real traffic cops on patrol, with proper training, the ability to deal with the full range of traffic offences, and proper equipment that creates admissible evidence.<p>What we don't need is more wannabe heroes who have very strong opinions but often very little understanding of what actually makes the roads safer, wasting some of the few resources the real law enforcement authorities do have on complaints that cannot possibly lead to a successful prosecution even if they're otherwise accurate, which inevitably they won't always be.<p>Obviously there are also legitimate concerns about vigilantism, road rage, and excessive reliance on laws creating absolute offences that might be easier to enforce but aren't necessarily the best ways to penalise actually dangerous or inconsiderate driving. However in this case those are largely academic discussions because there is no way an app like this is ever going to clear the hurdle mentioned above anyway.
