Operation Snap
6. What to expect after you make a report
Please note that we will not have the capacity to feed back on every single submission however; we will publish performance data on a regular basis.
How we keep your information safe
We will not pass your details to the offending driver. Although rare, if the offence that you have reported results in a court appearance, then at this stage the offending driver will become aware of your name only. We will not share your address or any other personal details.
In addition, the footage that you submit, along with your statement, will be stored securely on a cloud server. We will not take the device from you that the evidence is recorded on and we will not replace memory cards or devices with like items in any circumstances.
We will retain all material associated with an offence or prosecution in line with the police force retention policies. If we do not progress your submission, then we will delete your footage and any associated file.
Outcomes for the offending driver
There are a number of outcomes available dependant on the nature of the offence.
- The driver could be offered a driver education course
- They could receive a fixed penalty notice
- They could receive a summons to attend court
- We may decide we are unable to take any further action.
A police prosecutor, who will consider all factors, including current CPS charging standards, will have reviewed the footage and statement.
Using the footage you’ve submitted for other purposes
We may use the footage that you submit through Gloucestershire Constabulary’s Operation Snap for media, training or publication purposes.
