Nicked! Police to use dashcam clips to investigate driving offences

All four police forces in Wales – including Dyfed Powys Police – have signed up to Operation Snap following a successful pilot scheme in North Wales.

The scheme was launched in October and encouraged drivers to upload evidence to the North Wales Police website.

So far, the force says it has dealt with 129 cases as a result of submitted footage.

Operation Snap will now link up with the Go Safe partnership to operate across Mid Wales and further afield.

Footage has to be unedited and include the whole journey, not just the incident.

Police forces from other parts of the UK, Australia and Hong Kong have been in touch about the scheme.

A North Wales Police spokesman said: “North Wales Police have been busy over the past few months bringing together Operation Snap.

“This is our response to increasing submissions of video and photographic evidence relating to driving offences that members of the public have seen.

“These reports have been coming into us in all sorts of ways.

“So we have developed a streamlined process to deal with them, which will hopefully make it easier for all involved.”
