Bradford, a building which I was responsible for a tenants floor of,
had a ground floor occupied by some sort of speed partnership outfit.

Vans fitted with speed cameras, marked up police, but orange flashers
on top and driven by not the police. You would often see them parked up
by the road side around Bradford, doing their thing.

Anyone tell me what outfit they were please?

Ever since they had to pay me 'compensation' after they failed to
respond correctly (they were downright deliberately evasive) to my FoI
enquiry and my complaint to the Information Commissioner was upheld.

We have 11 cameras in less than a 6 mile stretch and none of them meet
the criteria for installation.

If they are run by the police the requirements are different and they
can be totally invisible if they want.

They can't be funded from the fines - the government quite rightly
killed that by taking the fines itself, because it was turning into
a revenue generation operation.

They can derive revenue from the retraining courses if drivers choose
to take them instead of points and fine.

They can be funded by the council. Although the government withdrew
the specific funding for speed cameras, councils can still fund them
themselves if they can find the resources and think they are a good
use of funds.

I went of one of those last year. 23 people @ £85 each. £1955 in takings.

Wages for 2 'trainers' for half a day, rent of rugby club bar, total
cost no more than £500.

Nice little earner.

Stick the speed camera database from www.pocketgpsworld.com on your
TomTom (other satnavs are available) and you can set it to warn you, at
whatever distance you choose, of the actual limit at the camera.

A slight issue: the very latest TomToms don't, yet, have the facility
for uploading the database, but my Go 930 does. TomTom imagine their
decision to not incorporate the facility is an improvement but feedback
seems to be persuading them of the error of their ways.

Even if he has, I haven't, and I agree completely with his attitude.



Of course I have been caught out, but considering the mileage I do (often
speeding especially on M-Ways) I believe that my mileage to Scamera vans
capture ratio is quite low. However I usually know the sort of place they
hang out - normally on safe roads with very little traffic, no history of
bad road accidents and they are hidden just behind the camouflaged cash cow.

As a responsible motorist I always warn oncoming traffic if there is a
Scamera van ahead of them.

No, he passed, in that he did engage in all the activities, and provided
the appropriate level of feedback.

However, the instructors left us all under no illusion that the course is
the latter-day equivalent of a stern ticking off by a copper (since they
never happen anymore) and that *any* motoring offence in the next 3 years
would be dealt with by the courts - no second chance.

I was cynical about being invited by the government to spend £85 with a
3rd party to avoid a criminal (points) record. However, having actually
been, it wasn't a complete waste of time, and the body running it are
actually a non-profit organisation (whatever that means ).

As I said, I would actually support a proposal to require drivers to
attend one every 10 years. It might pull up a few nasty habits.

But doesnt get even close to warranting the waste
of time involved in forcing everyone to do that.

Makes a lot more sense to only force those caught
speeding to do that.

Extend it to cover more than speeding (Middle lane hogging, not checking
your lights before you go out at night, tailgating - add your pet hate
here) and a compulsory "refresher" every 10 years might improve the
general standard of "carsmanship".

Compare it to private flying where periodic checks with qualified

The ACPO guideline is a guideline.

Going into the next village via dual carriageway recently I spotted a camera van in the distance ahead and tootled past at a sedate thirty. Returning home I passed in the opposite direction at thirty until I saw the fifty limit start sign when I increased my speed gently. Discovered the misbegotten wretch in the van was aiming at cars leaving the thirty limit when I received an unwelcome letter. I asked to see the photographic evidence and it's seriously annoying to have a photo of the back of the car with the fifty limit sign in full view and my speed shown as thirtyfive.
I look forward to finding a camera van on fire in one of the more robust neighbourhoods. For sure I won't stop to help.

They can film in more than one direction at a time.
The speed limit starts at the sign not 200 yards before or after.

A few weeks back they were doing one of those voluntary speedwatch
things. As I drove into the village I saw something new on the side of
the road, so I was looking at it as I it lit up 34 for an instant, then
dropped to 33, then off about as I went through the limit sign.

Then I got a letter from the local police saying that I'd been doing
35... I can't write back and complain, because after all 33 would be an
admission of guilt. But I daresay if there _is_ a real policeman, and I
get it further wrong, they'll see that 35 in their records and have me
tagged...

Whilst you might not get anywhere in a court with that, if that were me,
that photo would be on a blog, and tweeted, FB'd and emailed to a couple
of rags who like that sort of story (DM, Sun maybe).

Policing is still by consent and I would make damn sure they were so
ridiculed for that one episode they'd think twice about setting up a
camera in such a fashion again.

Bradford, a building which I was responsible for a tenants floor of, had
a ground floor occupied by some sort of speed partnership outfit.

Vans fitted with speed cameras, marked up police, but orange flashers on
top and driven by not the police. You would often see them parked up by
the road side around Bradford, doing their thing.

Anyone tell me what outfit they were please?

Google and Wikipedia seems not very helpful on this...


I don't know what outfit they are, but you need to move out of Bradford
for a start, then you won't see them, lol

I don't actually live in Bradford, or near Bradford. I had a regular
visit there to a custmer - as I explained in my second para.

You will. They are 'responsible' for cameras in Leeds too.

Fixed cameras on poles, but I have never seen one of their mobiles
vans, ever in Leeds.

Ah! I took the reference to be all of the speed cameras they use so, no,
