Red light cameras?

Question

my wife has just recieved a notice of intended prosicution for allegedley jumping a red light in edinburgh. the problem is her car was parked up 124miles away in north shields whilst she was at work caring for an elderly lady. the registration details were correct. could it be mistaken identity or a duplicate number plate in another country, will she need to go to court with the nessesary paper work form her employer i.e. time sheets which is signed by the person she was caring for, rota, letter of confirmation of location by her employer or will a simple letter containing all the relevent info be sufficient. unfortunately it is only 5 months since she passed her test and any points will be doubled

Answer 1

sounds like either your car or another is a clone ask plod....

Answer 2

Write/telephone the Procurator Fiscals office in Edinburgh, quoting the reference number on the NIP form and explain you are not responsible for the offence, quoting the reasons given.

They would not like to waste court time, they will ask you for the proof they need.

They usually post out a copy complaint asking if you wish to plead guilty or not guilty, you can write your alibi in that also

Answer 3

You must have more pieces to the puzzle.

Answer 4

Get in touch with the Police Force who sent the NIP and explain the situation.  They will be able to advise you on what to do.

I would suggest however that you may ultimately need to go to Court.

Gather up all of the evidence you can to dispute this and you should be fine.

Answer 5

Cloned number plate. Crook has used the number on a car of the same make and colour to avoid parking fines etc etc.

So long as your wife can produce the required evidence there should not be a problem. Call in at your local nick and explain.

Answer 6

Contact the person who sent the letter and explain what evidence you have.if there is a picture it will show the vehicle type as well to help your cause.

Answer 7

ask to see the photo

make sure your wife is not lying to you
