Drivers caught speeding are now able to see picture evidence of their offences on the internet.
The Wiltshire and Swindon Safety Camera Partnership has rolled out a system that allows the public to view the photos that prove they have broken the speed limit.
David Frampton, manager of the Safety Camera Unit in Wiltshire, said in a statement: "[T]his system demonstrates our policy of honesty, openness and accountability. We trust that by providing access to this information, we can help change people's perceptions of safety cameras. They are not a revenue-raising exercise, and are there for the safety of all road users."
The constabulary has been piloting the speed camera scheme with 6,000 offending motorists since April this year but launched it today with a new website.
Under the scheme, those who have been caught driving too fast are given a PIN (personal identification number) that they type into the website to access their personal records. Documents include photographs of the vehicle, site maps and camera calibration certificates.
The system is only available to motorists eligible for a fixed penalty of £60 and three points off their licences. It has yet to be offered to people who exceed the limit for a fixed penalty but the next phase will incorporate this, the constabulary said.
The constabulary added that staff at the Safety Camera Unit have noticed a reduction in telephone enquiries.
Software manufacturer Northgate Information Solutions built the speed-camera system.
