Road Traffic Offences: Video Recordings
(asked on 3rd November 2025) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on (a) enforcement and (b) prosecution rates by police force following reports from members of the public of road traffic offences captured on (i) dashcams and (ii) other video evidence.
The Home Office does not hold the requested information.
The Home Office collects and publishes statistics on police enforcement of road traffic offences as a part of the annual ‘Police powers and procedures: Roads policing’ statistical release. These statistics include information on the number of offences by outcome, including Fixed Penalty Notice, driver retraining and referral to court action.
The latest publication, covering 2023, can be found on GOV.UK at:
As part of these statistics, the Home Office publishes breakdowns on the number of camera-detected offences. However, these figures relate to offences captured by official traffic enforcement cameras and do not include footage submitted by members of the public via dashcams or other private video recording devices.
Information on the prosecution outcome of offences referred to court action by the police is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice.
