Wonder if it will have a fake horse's arse sticking out the back like in the James Bond film Octopussy? Maybe the camera will be secreted in an orifice under the tail?

Which would be ironic as thats where most people would like to stick it.

Fit a towbar to your car.

Lock the access doors to said van.

Hitch up.

Then take the scam operator on the drive of his life :evil:

Can Taff the fine tell us how sending someone a cash demand some time after the offence is going to reduce casualties ( assuming that we believe that their "enforcement " is going stop the accidents that will be caused by all and sundry braking at the sight of white /any other colour van /horsebox etc etc )??????.
Might be more efective to go round checking buses for traces of fuel leakage from their fillers .

Its truely laughable.

Policemen hiding in horse boxes filming motorists incase one of them exceeds an arbitary limit in order to send them a £60 bill some two weeks later.

It's not unlike Dad's army is it?

Of course it is. You laugh at dads army and feel good. Laugh at loads of coppers sitting in a horse box with a camera and they'll do you for behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace !

This could make a good comedy series!!
However, seriously, you'll find that it's not the "real police" doing this job - they take more pride in their profession. It will be civilians who are doing the job! The coppers seem to get all the blame for these crackpot schemes when they really aren't involved. The massive speeding camera empires are nearly all controlled and run by civilians without a copper in sight.

they may not wear badges stating "police constable" but it all resides under the umbrella of "law enforcement". Don't pay your speeding/parking fine and the police/courts will be the people that want to speak to you, so I don't really draw much distinction, other than the fact the parking police/speeding police operate with a zeal and efficiency that can only be an embarrasment to the ones that wear the "police" badges.

Too early for being an April Fool per the initial reports.

If true - then their enforcement policy cannot be working. We do not have to do the insane to enforce or ensure safety here. :popcorn:

If a April Fool "joke" - then I fear egg on Brumstomia faces as delivering a true road safety programme is no laughing matter and no senior officer here feels the need to dress up as a Druid, gorrilla or other ape to deliver a fair minded and safety led policy on all potential cirmes here. :roll:


I thank my God that my guvs ot date have been normal red blooded decent types anyway. :wink: You may not agree with me here.. but I cannot comment on that really :lol: :P :wink: :D
