       Hello
       Is "Home office type approval" still a thing for "prescribed
       devices"?
       If so can anyone point me at the type approval document for a
       gatsometer 36 red light camera?
       I have found this one but don't know if it is "current". Has
       this approval been updated or revised since 1992?
       [mod edit - the question concerns a live case]

       Should it be of interest, The Gatso 36 Type Approval was updated
       in 2008 to include speed detection (see below)
       The red light detection is done via in-road sensors before and
       after the stop line. I think the speed is detected via road
       sensors and confirmed via a photo taken when the vehicle is over
       some road markers placed further down the road. Such a detection
       system would be vulnerable to sharp braking - if applied in
       time.
       But that could be said about the offence of speeding
       generally... ;D
