correct me if i'm wrong but a guy with a mobile gun would want to be seen as they would not be able to take your picture, the van must have been hiding behind a bush or something behind you to actually take your picture and get your reg plate (assuming that you were on the bike of course).

Yeh, but the cop isn't going to stand out n the middle of the road. And Scammera vans should categorically not be hiding as they are meant to be promoting road saftey and slowing drivers down...in an ideal world.

Did the guy with the tri pod look like nothing more than someone doin a levelling survey? I've seen police with those never thought they were doing speeding, god job I'm a good boy, I assumed it was tax or similar and the tri pod had a telescope on it.

Unluckeeeeee

In fairness, we all know that the A32 & 272 are prime targets for scameras - still a ****er though:mad:

I think you mean and theodolite, or a "Total Station" as they're now called:

Only reason the police would have one is for accident investigation, if you saw someone in hi-viz with one they were probably just surveying, but if they're anything like me they won't bother with signs as the retards actually slow down if there's a chance they might get a ticket...:rolleyes:

I didn't see anyone at all. The road was completely clear. I'm just guessing as I've seen bike police parked up with a gun on a tripod on that road at other locations.

Returned the NIP confirming my guilt, so will await my comeuppance...

Hopefully a driving awareness seminar thingy.

My mate was going down the A32 just joined it from Alton and fully admits he was doing roughy 90 when you enter he first 30 limit (before bahnstormer BMW). Old plod on a bike steps out with his hand raised and naturally my mate thinks he's been done. Turns out the copper just wanted a hand picking up his bike that he'd just dropped on the floor....Karma perhaps?

Nope I meant a levelling survey, the equipment is very similar looking to a theodolite, only a, it's easier to spell an b, more people have some idea about what it is. Even if they're mistaken about what they think they saw jo public would still say they saw someone levelling or doin a survey regardless of if the equipment was a level a theodolite or a ts. As I don't know if the op is familiar with the specific trade tools it's seemed logical to refer to it as levelling equipment rather than seem like a know it all smart tart.
Peace out, sleepy time
