If your gonna get booked it'd be all the easier to take if it was a female officer, hell I'd go willingily

We've all seen the police speed vans marked but hidden out of view, its a sickener but its clearly a more cost effective way to police a stretch of road which is prone to speeders, the alternative is sending a patrol car which then increases the chance of a highspeed pursuit on an already dangerous road. I for one am thumbs up for them on this basis alone. (besides, if you pass the van parked up your usually clear for the rest of the run )

Obviously the ANPR has to be discrete, even the dumbest crim isnt going to drive a nicked/uninsured/AoT car past a marked car parked up at the side of the road. Speeding can be accidental or even intentional without been wreckless so some people can feel hard-done by with a prosicution and I sympathise but failure to insure a vehicle usually suggests other illegal activity is also taken lightly by the occupant.
Also the police obviously antisipate a pursuit hence the RS and the bike, but even tier presance I see as a deterrant I mean you'd have to be pretty desperate to see those in your mirror and still think your best option was to go for it.

Ya think????? You clearly haven't met the dumbest crims!!! They do!
