BTW campaigners who disaprove of mobile speed camera vans have
been videoing the camera vans speeding between catching other
people speeding!

LOL.

We have had similar stories about parking wardens stopping off to buy
their fags in restricted areas.

Its inevitable in a culture moving towards total enforcement of
these areas the operators will get caught out. People have come
to accept that anything to do with cars will be increasingly
enforced with "no quarter", look at the London congestion charge,
about three hours to pay in the evening, no payment allowed next
day. Many people who have gone into the zone unexpectedly are
still busy with whatever when the time runs out, end up with a
penalty, but your into a 1000 post thread (elsewhere) if you
suggest next day payment would be perfectly reasonable.

The only problem I have with congestion charge is that it doesn't seem
as though it's intended to cut congestion as much as it is to raise
money. Cutting congestion can be done on a non-payment basis such as a
lottery for access or meddling with traffic lights etc.

Congestion charging was decisively rejected in a referendum here in
Edinburgh. Although I think it was as much a question on whether we
thought the council was competent and trusted enough to handle it rather
than on the general principle.
