Idris Fancis ANTI CAMERA SITE:  FIGHT BACK WITH FACTS!

http://www.fightbackwithfacts.com/

Ban the Cams note:  Anyone wishing to battle the speed scmamera folks might want to check out this site for ammo against the lies of the scamrea side.  Check this one out:  http://www.fightbackwithfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Britains-Road-Safety-Tragedy.doc

In fact here is a excerpt from the Home Page:

This web site exposes and corrects misleading information and analysis in official publications and statements, in relation to subjects of interest to me and to which I believe I can make a worthwhile contribution. In particular it serves as a single source for all of the data and analysis I have accumulated over eleven years spent fighting against speed cameras.

As you will discover, some discrepancies are so bizarre that it is difficult to understand why they were not exposed immediately as utter nonsense. To take only one example, the DfT’s figures of £7,500 for a speed camera, with its very expensive enforcement system and Partnership operations, for one year, but £14,000 for a vehicle activated sign (a far less complex device needing virtually no maintenance or expensive enforcement) was self-evidently preposterous, but that did not stop Transcom printing the figures in their 2006 Report or calling for more speed cameras on the basis of data which was literally incredible even at Third Form Arithmetic level.

It is of course up to the reader to judge whether those responsible for some of the more outlandish nonsense could really have been that stupid, or instead were bent on misleading us in pursuit of their own or their organisation’s objective. And indeed, given the consequences for life and limb on our roads of policies based on very seriously flawed analysis, whether these failuree amount variously to breach of duty of care, misconduct or misfeasance in public office or indeed Corporate Manslaughter – which applies just as much to government bodies as to private businesses.

Every effort will be made to ensure easy access to all the material through a logical structure. In general the first page of each subject will be an overview, followed by links to documents on this site or elsewhere. These documents will, where appropriate, be arranged in a logical sequence (normally chronological in the case of correspondence or reports, otherwise alphabetically).

This site is very much a work in progress and I am in the early stages of adding a great deal of information I already have on file, especially on speed cameras. For that reason some subject headings are simply a declaration of intent devoid of content until I am able to put it in place. If you need any particular information but cannot find it, please ask  – I may have it but not yet had time to upload it.

Speed camera material will include a great deal of official data in road casualties and trends, in DfT report form and also(now largely complete) in graphical form derived from that data – both for national and police area figures. In addition there will be a great deal of statistical analysis exposing the reality behind the false claims of speed camera effectiveness.

While at this stage this site is largely my own work I would be happy to add relevant comment and information from others, at my sole discretion. I should however make it clear that this is not a Blog – I do not have time to run one or monitor comments. Instead it is intended to be a source of documents and other information to which I can refer others, instead of copying them to each and every person with whom I debate these matters by email.

To the best of my belief there are no errors of my own contained in these pages, but if any are brought to my attention I will correct them immediately, with comments and explanation where necessary.

If you wish to comment, to correct what you might believe to be an error or any kind or to provide additional information please do so to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

This web site is dedicated to the memory of my wonderful mathematics master Thomas Davies who, in the mid 1950’s gave me and my fellow pupils one of the most important pieces of advice I have ever received:

“When you have worked out the answer you must always ask yourself – does it make sense?”

The trouble now is that a very great deal indeed of what we are told, whether about the European Union, the euro, speed cameras, energy policy, man-made global warming or anything else, makes no sense at all – as you will find in these pages.

My efforts to fight at least some of the nonsense with which we are bombarded each and every day are self-financed and unpaid. I neither seek nor would accept financial support.
