Re: Info from the police makes stone-blood look easy
Pain... I love it... Have you ever tried to challenge "UK government machinery"? Unless you have the budget to retain a lawyer who is doing it for you, you are not going to get anywhere as you will not get any work done yourselves. It is a classic case of "That level of justice is for 'peers' only".
As far as the laser - depends where they had it pointed. Could be worse - getting a ticket for 100mph in a 30mph zone. Out of 4 cameras within 2 miles from me 3 are in the flight path towards the local small airport. They regularly flash people and make them panic, hit breaks or otherwise behave erratically because they are triggered by the return from what is flying above them (fairly low at that point) instead of what is driving in front of them.
