If it was a dual carriageway, they would be parked in the central reservation. However, I have seen that before and it seems like the rules don't apply to "enforcement" vehicles.

Aw pish! Looks like they don't train officers in road traffic anymore, just send out plod to pull "a,b or c"

The pinacle of law enforcement - some "yes man" in an animal caravan. Not the cleverest of things is it?

Ah well, it's absolutely great how the rules only apply to average joe and not law enforcers! No one always sticks to speed limits, this includes police and MP's, they'll get caught one day, well, lets hope!!

Argyll and Bute are getting new vans with a wide angle semi circular dome "rabbits eye" on the side of the van, gets the front, side and rear of the bike as it passes.
Having said all that there's two of them in that trailer, and behind the head of the guy operating the camera, is that not a forward facing hatch the second guy could look through to get the reg plate?

As far as I remember speed traps had to be clearly labelled as such and vehciles used had to be officially marked as 'speed enforcement' vehicles?

If the law has now changed then it's open season on us all. I guess an anoraks response would be 'Don't speed' but then what's the point in having a motorcycle!

The problem is that the 'clear marking' is only part of the code of conduct for camera partnerships. So basically the police can do whatever they want!!
