This blog has migrated to www.magistratesblog.blogspot.co.uk This blog is anonymous, and Bystander's views are his and his alone. Where his views differ from the letter of the law, he will enforce the letter of the law because that is what he has sworn to do. If you think that you can identify a particular case from one of the posts you are wrong. Enough facts are changed to preserve the truth of the tale but to disguise its exact source.
The blog is written by a retired JP, with over 30 years' experience on the Bench.
A physicist who tried to show a Gatso camera was inaccurate, to get his wife off a £60 speeding fine, must pay £15,000 in costs after being proved wrong. Iain Fielden, 41, of Sheffield Hallam University, had already spent £5,000 on his evidence, rejected by Huddersfield magistrates and then Bradford Crown Court.
