FOI 16418 Response
Having completed enquiries within Essex Police in respect of Section 1(1)(a), Essex Police does not hold information relating to your request.
To provide some explanation and to meet our duty to assist under Section 16 of the FOIA, Essex Police can advise:
We do not hold fine details, however, Essex Police can provide the number of detections i.e. camera activations and outcomes i.e. Conditional Offers, Prosecutions, etc, however, this will not include Court results.
Most speeding offences are dealt with by way of Conditional Offers (also known as Fixed Penalty Notices) or Driver Awareness Training and only where the case is disputed and goes to court would a “fine” be issued. You may wish to directly approach the HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) who hold data regarding speeding fines, fine income and prosecutions – please see below link:
