Sorry I couldn't post back earlier, had HDD failure and didn't want to
try again until I had Agent reinstalled (Agent makes this sooo much
easier).

It would seem you have been working Ling and hard to make allies ;c)

Smith encourages the perversion of justice


No he doesn't, where does he do that?


Besides, that link is 5 years old. The Safespeed campaign wasn't
around then, hence that is nothing more than one man's personal
opinions (opinions which may have changed since then). Therefore your
wording of 'encourages' is wrong and misleading.

I see nothing no worse than our own government giving out free needles
to drug users, or giving out free condoms to those underage.

and thinks that arranging
for speeding fines to be sent to a grieving family is a "good idea":


Actually he didn't, you are twisting words again. He said naming a
dead person is a good idea (It IS a good idea, wrong of course but it
IS clever), but he didn't pass comment on naming a recently deceased
person.

http://www.max-boost.co.uk/... blah blah blah


The first two times you posted those links it didn't result with
anything useful for you, what makes you think a third time will be any
better?

Meanwhile the safespeed website boasts:


"Safe Speed does not, nor has ever,
advocated or condoned law breaking or civil disobedience."


Which is correct!

BTW, where exactly does he say that? I can't find what you claim to be
a quote on any of your supplied links.

http://www.safespeed.org.uk/forum/vi...postdays=0&pos


I don't see the relevance of the link, are you trying to look for
another distraction from the original issue at hand?

The man's a perverter of justice


You keep saying that but you have never shown proof that he actually
does (or has) pervert the course of justice, now you are spinning your
own words.

what he condones is explicitly
against the law. He encourages lawlessness and the most dreadful
intrusion on a grieving family imagineable.


What does he condone? give me an example and show that he condones it!

..

So spindrift, how's the prosecution of IG going? LOL

Perhaps you can remind us who said the following:

start quote
Ideas for defeating speed measuring equipment.

"You could have made up a number plate from a similar make and colour car
to yours seen driving around. This is called number plate cloning and is
becoming quite common. It would be hard to justify your incorrect cloned
plate if stopped by Police. You might fare a little better if your number
plate incorporates a simple mistake such as two numbers changed round. For
example A 123 ACB instead of A 123 ABC. If stopped you could simply claim
that it must be an error."

"Don't be too keen to wash the winter filth off your car! Don't be too
keen to remove that bike rack from the back. If your number plate falls
off or gets broken, don't be in too much of a hurry to get it replaced. We
hear the motorcycle chain lubricant in a spray can will make a few
usefully unreadable streaks or blobs. Or do a little mudslinging; mud
stuck on the numberplate could well obscure enough of the numbers and
letters. In some areas kids think it is funny to attach black tape to a
number plate to make the numbers and letters different; this is a trend
well worth encouraging."
end quote

Now that does rather look like 'encouraging the perversion of justice'.

He then went on to say:
"We should make every effort to appear calm, reasonable, responsible,
honest and accurate."

And that sounds very much like 'Please try to hide the truth about our
real motives'.

That's not encouragement, they were merely ideas reproduced from
publicly available pages from the web.
Here's the definition for you: "encouragement: the expression of
approval and support"

Besides, you're another who uses the wrong tense; those pages have not
been available on the Safespeed website for years.

By your definition, I could say that spindrift recently encouraged the
'perversion of justice' simply by linking to those pages.

Let's highlight
"In some areas kids think it is funny to attach black tape to a

Err, he said "well worth encouraging".
That looks pretty much like encouragement to me, even using your
definition.

Besides, you're another who uses the wrong tense;


Who cares. He said it. ...and a lot more. A reason he removed the pages was
that he didn't like people using it against him. Indeed he then went on to
proclainm that the information was available on other websites and provided
links to them.

Of course you may believe that leopards change their spots.....

Encouraging something isn't encouragement?

Welcome to the wacky world of safespeed.

This thread is illuminative in the tactics used by proven liars and
perverters of justice like Paul Smith.

We have the usual threats, playground insults and lies from the
speedophile contingent when they realise their arguments have failed,
and an almost hysterical desire to make the argument personal.

I think the pro speeding lobby are like the classic absurdly
self-important driver who asserts that he is the only safe driver on
the road!


Put it this way.


Easyjet fly to Krakow.

You can take a bus or train from Krakow to the small town of OSWIECEM
and tour the camp there.


You can see block 11, the punishment block where children were
castrated, prisoners were tortured and Father Kolbe was starved to
death. Over a million and a half people died in squalor and despair.

And the pro-speeding lobby have the gall, the sheer affrontery to
compare the introduction of safety cameras to The Holocaust.

I reckon the SCPs are trying to drum up support any way they can, this
time by giving a recognised purpose to these 'hitler youth' who
quite obviously don't have a life of their own.

Smeggy, a return flight to Krakow costs less than £50.

I'll even pay your fare if you visit Auschwitz and discover for your
self that comparing a £60 traffic fine to what you will see there is
beneath contempt and reveals nothing so much as your complete hysteria
over this subject.

You should really apologise for what you wrote on Safespeed , havinge
an opinon on road safety is fine but comparing yourself to persecuted
jews suggests to me that you have some perspective issue.

Would you like to explain why you compare yourself to persecuted jews
smeggy?

So are those his words or, as I already said, words he reproduced from
other pages, just like you just did? Can I now report John B to the
authorities?

Besides, you're another who uses the wrong tense;


Who cares


'Who cares'? Did you do anything bad or harbour what you would now
consider to be such thoughts when you were younger? If so should we
still be berating you for it?

That quote, among many others, was gleaned from a newspaper reports,
PS merely republished it (much like you did just then). Some
background: PS initially set up SS as a hobby believing that speed
cameras were causing injustice - which they indeed were and still a
people losing their jobs while driving safely. At that time it seemed
natural to him to stand up against such injustice, responding with
like measures.

After a while he began looking at the bigger picture and found
problems with the claims from the SCPs and the government; it was then
he realised that cameras were undermining road safety. Armed with the
data it enough to convince him to go full time as a road safety
campaigner. Those pages then became irrelevant to the new campaign and
its objectives hence they were removed. That was 3 years ago.


Of course you may believe that leopards change their spots.....


If by that you mean removing pages from the site, then yes one can
believe it.

After several threads on the subject, if that's the best people can
come up with to discredit PS, then I needn't have bothered.

No one needs to discredit him or SS.
He has managed it himself admirably and it is doubly pleasing to see you
continuing the good work.

That's right, shy away from giving a reasonable answer.

So why is he gaining in public stature? Why is his work increasingly
referred to in the media as a 'road safety campaign'?

Given the years of widespread public attention, surely someone would
have taken him down by now if he was lying or perverting the course of
justice?

Or is it because no-one can fault his claims that speed cameras are
not as effective as the SCPs claim?
