Police won't say how many motorists have sought a review of their speeding tickets after last weekend admitting botched checks of hand-held cameras.
Seven days ago, an investigation by the Herald on Sunday revealed three officers had been disciplined and several others stand accused of "procedural failures", potentially leaving police exposed to legal action over speeding tickets.
Police promised to waive or refund any tickets found to be invalid, but this week said they weren't in a position to disclose how many people had sought a review of their tickets.
A police spokesman said "given the detail of the questions, including requests for tickets data", the request would have to be filed under the Official Information Act.
This would give police 20 days to answer any queries and leave them open to postponing a response until a police investigation is complete.
