Dewsbury driver who used speed camera jammer jailed

A driver who used a laser gps blocker to illegally block the signals of road safety cameras has been jailed.

Police say Michael Twizell, 58, used a device on the front of his BMW 3 Series to interfere with camera equipment.

Twizel, from Dewsbury Low Road, was driving the A658 near Harrogate last February when he passed a camera van.

He was jailed for three months at York Crown Court after pleading guilty to obstructing the course of justice.

Cameramen detected the wrong code and North Yorkshire Police launched an investigation.

According to police, Twizel installed jammers on the front of his vehicle to interfere with police camera equipment.

After the hearing, Traffic Constable Andy Foss said: "The use of a device capable of interfering with police speed measurements is clearly a very serious matter, as has been demonstrated today."

He added: "I would advise anyone who might have a similar device installed in a vehicle to consider the consequences and strongly advise them to remove it to avoid future prosecution."

Twizel was also fined £1,500.

North Yorkshire driver jailed for using speed camera jammer

A driver has been jailed for two months for using a laser jammer to avoid being caught by speed cameras.

In February 2018, Nicholas Burke, 46, used the device to jam the signal from a police security camera van on the outskirts of York.

Police estimate his car was traveling over the road speed limit of 60 mph.

The former car salesman pleaded guilty to perverting justice at York Crown Court.

A portable jammer installed under the front grille of Burke's car prevented the quick readout.

Its use activates a code on the camera, indicating to police that an illegal jammer is being used.
