I have 6 letters from WA Police that CANCEL Court appearances that were scheduled to occur in each instance, one month hence. All are related to LOW level speeding offences that I pleaded NOT Guilty to in the normal course of events and chose to defend in court by myself. When one elects to do this, Police wish to know how many witnesses you wish to call and you will be asked just how long you expect the case to take. ALL 6 letters that I have received from WA Police have been identical and are only 5 lines long. They indicate that during a REVIEW process, PRE trial , a decision was made NOT to proceed with prosecution of the case and that the matter should be withdrawn. Do YOU wonder why ? It is NOT very difficult to achieve this result. All one needs to do is to indicate to Police that the matter WILL become a SCIENTIFIC exercise and they quickly realise that in WA, for a $75.00 fine and NO points loss, the game is simply NOT worth the candle. This whole scheme is carefully DESIGNED to STEAL money off honest people who simply cannot afford a day off work ( which will cost them considerably MORE than $75.00) and those who are quite incapable of competently facing a courtroom and cannot afford a solicitor. WA Police AND the WA Govt. regularly FIGHT OFF Federal attempts to impose a License points penalty to the existing charge of speeding at between 0 and 9 km per hour. If they were to allow such to happen, it would change the nature of the whole animal entirely and people who have minimal points to lose, would STOP ignoring the offence and begin coming to court to rescue their points and most probably their very JOBS – and quite likely find the expense of a Defence Lawyer quite acceptable. THIS – of course is the very LAST thing WA Govt. and Police want. It would totally RUIN their nasty little racket. Targeting and STEALING from people who simply cannot be legally prosecuted for inadvertently breaking a law that they simply cannot avoid on any commonsense basis. I AM a retired Electronics Engineer, former Radar technician and now a Mature age Law student. It would suit me admirably to get into Court to defend myself, but the WA Police will NOT allow THAT to happen. Opposing ME in Court would entail bringing in EXPENSIVE technical experts, who would do nothing more than reinforce my case. Cost LOTS of money – and also LOSE the $75.00 fine. Do you still wonder WHY – they WON’T let me in ? Leaving you with something to think about and ponder. ADR18 = Australian Design Rule No 18 is specifically designed to specify every aspect of the speed measuring apparatus in any motor vehicle either built or imported into Australia. It falls FAR SHORT of any comprehensive appraisal of what such spec SHOULD be . Mr Toyota – Mr Nissan and so forth CAN – fit a speedo to our motor vehicles that reads 0 to 1000 Kms per hour . They Don’t , because it would NOT make economic sense and attract major criticism, but NO PROHIBITION. There is NO rule or direction in ADR 18 that prevents this. So nowadays we get modern vehicles with speedos reading 0 to 220Kmh per hour on an instrument that is no bigger than a Coles or Woolies $10.00 alarm clock and 6 inches in diameter. Forget colours, needle width, calibration figures etc. Disposition in the dashboard. I’d absolutely LOVE – to get another DESIGN Engineer into court to discuss these aspects – but it aint Gunna happen ---- WA Police will see to that.
