I understand the courts have overturned the 50kph and inspection. Somebody confirm!

On Waiyaki way just before Kabete Police station

Three questions

1. How do we, the meek citizens know that those speed guns are calibrated correctly?

2. Do the current hand held speed guns actually take the picture of your plate as it clocks your speed?

3. Does operating a speed gun require training?

.

Has any sign post that marks the end of speed restriction been seen anywhere in Nairobi?

Were you actually speeding?

Take it to EACC

I feel you. The feeling one gets after dealing with those semi-literate brutes.

These criminal policemen caught up with me also but i will admit it was of my own doing but what i observed during my 2hr stint at some police post 15-20 kilometers outside of Kisumu was just utter nonsense.
so i was doing the awasi kisumu stretch, that road is just to sweet so i was doing upwards of 180kph and for that i was caught doing 176kph on a 100kph road all this scribbled on a piece of paper which the cop showed me and ordered that i park inside the police post compound and wait for cash bail processing.
while i was sited under a tree waiting for the cop with the cash bail receipt book to show up i was chatting up some other drivers who had been caught, we were about 9 chaps, those who had talked to the cop in charge were informing us that they had been told to part with amounts ranging from 2k to 5k depending on how fast one was going.
so i go in to see the cop in charge who was some fat kaleo guy and he asks me,"kijana, mbona unataka kukufa, sasa tutakuandikia cash bail ya 20k na tukutafutie siku mzuri ya kuenda koti" i smiled at this because i knew that cash bail is set at 5k with court date on the following day or same day. to cut a long story, after a back and forth for over an hour the guy agrees to take 5k and i chucked.
What irked me about the whole situation was that during the two or so hours i spent there i counted 18 cars pulled over and none of the occupants paid cash bail but bribed the cops and left, those cops must be grossing well over 150k daily all this based on some cop who you dont see on the road taking your speed and you are ambushed that you were speeding when one was not, some old guy was stopped for doing 103kph and he swore that here didnt go above 80kph, i thought the traffic Act gave an allowance of 20kph above the limit for one to be liable.
The NTSA should borrow from the UK where a cop who is using a speed gun has to position himself/herself where they can be clearly seen by drivers and the speed gun has to capture the registration of the car, car itself and possibly the driver for a charge of speeding to hold in court, if the cop hid while taking the speed reading that little detail would vitiate the charge, sadly in Kenya its disconcerting because there is no clear procedure on handling speed guns and what the cop says is the case
