As a general rule, cops pull you. Cameras send you something nasty in the post.

Not sure if that answers your question...

If it is hand held and there are several police standing together they will probably pull you over

If it is on a tripod and the guy is on his own it is probably hooked up to a video recorder. I which case watch you letter box over the next 2 weeks.

Driving a Vauhall at hi speed, to see what it is capable of?

Was'nt that policeman in a Vauhall? You'd think they would share the results/video, so we did'nt have to find out for ourselves :lol:

My experience has been that police nearly always pull you over if it is safe to do so - the time spent at the side of the road, and the acid tongue lashing are all part of the punishment (and sometimes the only punishment!) :roll:
