WEST Mercia Police have begun rolling out a new camera that captures more than just speeding offences.
The new TRUCAM has been rolled out across Worcestershire which will catch not just speeding drivers but also other driving offences.
The cameras have been introduced after additional funding was provided by West Mercia Police & Crime Commissioner John Campion.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “First to benefit were the villages of Shrawley, Tenbury Wells, Eardiston and Clifton-Upon-Teme.
“But staff at Tenbury will be making good use of the new equipment in all parishes that have identified ‘speeding’ as one of their policing priorities.”
What is aTRUCAM?
The ‘TRUCAM’ is a state-of-the-art camera that captures digital evidence of traffic offences and streamlines the process of issuing fines.
It not only monitors speed but also records high-definition video that can be used to catch multiple other driving offences, such as drivers not wearing seatbelts or being distracted.
