I thought the process for the Law Commission was that they produced a report, which was then adjusted to fit the party in power's ideology, turned into legislation, voted on by Parliament and then, if passed, became law.
How can their recommendations be used in deciding a court case without this process - surely that short-circuits parliament?

I thought this was a thread for discussing the activities of (alleged) fraudulent crims, not a place for fraudulent crims to promote their activities.Easy mistake to make.

Greens collapsed
Actually they went from 4.9% of the vote at the general election to 6.9%. I wouldn't call that a collapse.

Kind of in memory, I found this and will watch it later.

Hard News: Heads Up, in reply to Phil Wallington,
The cops find it difficult to respond in a timely fashion
They are training to abseil from helicopters. Crimes that can be solved by airborne assault will receive a better response in future, although by cops who misread "Police" as "Army" on the application form.

Cracker: Stoned in Charge, in reply to BenWilson,
I've never seen any (portable) API to get GPS pseudoranges or doppler speeds on an Android (nor have the contributors on SO.
Various GPS devices can acquire this, but I think the information may get lost in the Android's layers.
I'd be quite interested to know of one to get pseudoranges though - I'd like to make a navigation app that works on an airliner in flight using the limited satellite visibility through the window, plus the fact that they tend to fly along a predictable path.

Software can use any algorithm
En principe, oui.
But in practice not many chipsets / interface layers pass through the raw data to do that, so you're stuck with whatever the manufacturer deigns to implement.
In the early days of GPS, when only limited satellites were visible, it was quite common to interface an atomic clock (rubidium time standard) which effectively gave you an extra satellite. Modern GPS can use < 4 satellites and integrate with cellular to get a position with obscured visibility of the sky (there are always plenty of satellites, but they tend to be behind buildings).

The GPS system supports Doppler measurement of velocity rather than dead reckoning from position - certainly high-end receivers would integrate this - I'm not sure about the average phone or car GPS.

Is there another dangerous machine that you would you put people in charge of without ever reviewing their ability to use it?
Well, on a fly-by-wire airliner, the pilot, maintenance engineers and cabin crew have all been through some kind of formal licensing procedure. The people who coded the flight control software, less so.

Speedometers are normally calibrated/designed to overread - this is apparently required in AU and the EU.
