Thousands of convictions...
Thousands of convictions across Britain could be unsafe after police officers using the ProLaser III accused James MacGregor, 34, from Inverness, of doing 132mph in a 70mph zone. Mechanical inspection of his Subaru Impreza WRX later found it was incapable of exceeding 107mph. A dangerous driving charge was thrown out of court.
The ProLaser III is manufactured by Kustom Signals, Inc, of Lenexa, Kansas, USA. Its advertising claims that "with ProLaser III, speeders simply don"t have a chance" - but Steve Hocker, product manager for Kustom Signals, refused to repeat that statement to us. He admitted he was aware of the Scottish case, but said: "We don"t have enough information to comment." When we offered to supply him with transcripts of the judge"s findings, all he would say was "no comment".
