Dashcams help police secure prosecutions

Thu, 17 Aug 2017

The Island's roads police say dashcams and body-worn cameras are proving helpful to secure prosecutions.

A cyclist gave footage from their helmet camera to the Roads Policing Unit after almost being forced off the road by an overtaking vehicle.

The driver has since admitted responsibility for the incident, resulting in a £120 fine and three points for driving without due care and attention.

Officers revealed cameras have been particularly useful in prosecutions when it's one person's word against another.
