Hi Adam, I too have though of this, offenders claiming their plate could have been cloned etc.

However, the Police would be unlikely to just stop there, they would probably start to look at other things like bank accounts - had the person concerned stopped at a shop or garage and paid for anything. If so they may have been captured by cctv or their debit card details could tie them to being in that specific area.

In this day and age there are probably too many "paper" trails to try and deny that you may have been in a specific area, probably end up in jail for perjury instead of a simple speeding fine

The police definately woudn't go to those lengths! You need all kind of authorities to look into private information like phone records and bank account (a judge needs to authorise that 1). They ONLY give authority where it's proportionate to the offence ie NOT speeding!

You CAN however get locked up for perverting the course of justice if caught. A guy in Manchester was caught unscrewing a 40 sign and putting it up near the (30mph) speed camera that had caught him. He didn't see the CCTV camera pointing at the sign though...... DOH!!
