Think we have it round here as well, or at least if you ask the local plod they will get the hairdryer and make a show of using it. Trouble is the policing has now changed and "our local plod" now cover most of NE Cumbria... Hi-viz waist coats hung on gate posts and visible from a distance work quite well as well. But only for a short while but if they are moved about the area randomly... -- Cheers Dave. |

We get lent a speed gun, we use it and note down the reg number of vehicles going significantly over the speed limit. Thhe list of them is passed to the police for action. So your one of the ****s that can't write down number plates properly, Every so often i get a letter from the police saying my car has been spotted by a community speed watch scheme doing a few mph over the limit, and not to be a naughty boy again. I have had them from the areas of Birmingham, Norwich, Brighton and somewhere in wales, Thing is i have never been to the places im accused of being, and on 1 of the dates i had a car park permit for the hospital with my reg number on it for an overnight stay i have to do fairly regularly, and i had obtained the ticket about 20 minutes before i was supposedly 300 miles away doing 34mph in a 30 zone. Each time i phone the police up and get them to check if there's a clone of my car about, they take a day or so to they check the ANPR cameras around the areas in question for the date, and come back that no car of that reg number was ever in the area. One of the officers said that most of the people who do the speed watch thing are illiterate... he trailed off then so i couldent catch if he said ******s, wazzocks, waste of spaces or similar. So these ****s are thinking they are doing a good job, the people who are 'speeding' never get told and innocent people get the letters instead, and then the police have to use up their time checking into the possibility of a clone car being about. |

But only for a short while but if they are moved about the area randomly... In a village near here they have one of those scarecrow festivals that seem to be getting more popular. One that on first glance looked like a speed gun wielding Policeman probably slowed more people down in the week it was there than any speeding campaign. What was worrying was the eyesight of drivers who were flashing headlamp warnings to oncoming motorists That should worry plod as well,There was a time when a Policeman in his uniform stood out distinctively ,now with the trend to wear a uniform that in many cases seems to try and intimidate by looking like SAS Lite anything with a bit of Hi Viz, bulky waist coat and a hat can look like them. If anything the scarecrow looked smarter. G.Harman |

Ironically, the SAS is one job where H&S requires *not* wearing HiViz ;- True, maybe Military Lite would have been a better phrase. Anyways my point is really that the Police now appear to dress and behave more like troops approaching a war zone than acting like the Civil power, which though they refer to non police as Civilian is still what they really are. I appreciate that some of their work is not as comfy as was depicted in Dixon of Dock Green but also feel that to an extent they have reaped what they have sowed. Probably too long a a subject to be OT here. G.Harman |

He gets his own hi-viz and a clipboard. Oooh the power! I saw the cops near here out with their speed guns, wearing hi-viz yellow jackets. They were standing in front of a hi-viz road sign that made them almost invisible, the sneaky gits. No, Dennis, I wasn't. |

(Do you think you could sort your line lengths out?) No, Dennis, I wasn't. Even if you were, it's got **** all to do with dennis. Everything in the world is something to do with Dennis - according to him. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

In Surrey we have to write down number plate, make model & colour of the 'offending' vehicle. 3 things must agree before the police take any action. By 3 things do you mean the person with the speed gun and two like minded ******s? No - 3 things about the vehicle Action = a letter? Letter first and 2nd times. A knock on the door the third time. But still no conviction? -- Adam |
