Very sneaky
MCN commented on it a couple of weeks ago but I was just watching the news and apparently police in North Wales (the A470 near llanrwst, specifically) have bought a horse box in which they are putting a speed camera!! I thought speed cameras were meant to be obvious, but I might be wrong. Oh wait, I am wrong, just heard "police aren't obliged to prominantly advertise their presence."
Looks like you've got to watch yourselves whilst passing any horse box parked in a lay-by. Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a bit sneaky?! |

Re: Very sneaky
hat really does take the mickey. Have just seen a pic in another thread about it. I thought the whole point of speed cameras were to act as a deterrant!!!

Re: Very sneaky
yet another reason why I will never ride in North Wales (and I love Wales btw) until that nob is removed from his office. I wonder if it's a forward facing one though? If it is, the motto is obviously to pass horse box's at warp speed so the plod inside can't read your plate

Re: Very sneaky
It's a really good way to further drive a wedge between otherwise fairly law abiding citizens and the police and to make people increasingly convinced that catching people speeding is more about money and 'crime' stats than safety. If you see a copper getting a shoeing a week after you've been caught speeding by one hidden in a horsebox, you're attitude is going to be 'stuff 'em, I'm not getting involved.'
Very foolish, poorly thought out short-termism in my opinion... |

Re: Very sneaky
Best way, buy a gixxer thou, fit some nitrous and forget to register it in your name.
