UK - CCTV operator Wayne Tomlin spends his working day helping to catch criminals on camera, but he was caught out driving at more than twice the speed limit by a spycam.
The 25-year-old computer technician, who works for Sunderland Council's surveillance team, was rushing to carry out urgent repairs when he was caught speeding.
A mobile police camera clocked him doing 66mph in a 30mph zone on Springwell Road, Grindon.
He has been banned from driving for 42 days and ordered to pay a £400 fine.
Brian Chapman, defending, said "Mr. Tomlin had accidentally broken the speed limit while hurrying to repair a camera which protected council staff at a city centre office." (more)
