The Dark Wob

Aren't they meant for tracking pikey transits so that the police can avoid them and stay safe?

In fairness I wager the polis collar the same muppets time after time and the courts don't deal with them effectively. In short, it's a thankless task

Yeah, that's a good point.

The U turns bit has just reminded me of a classic piece of driving I saw this morning. The entrance to our industrial estate is on a fast busy road which is about a mile long with a roundabout at each end. When the entrance was put in all the tennents were warned not to do illegal right turns coming in or out of the site as the police take a very dim view of it. This morning 3 cars in a row all pulled out making an illegal right turn and guess what the cars were ?? Yeap 3 fucking coppers and they can't use the emergency excuse as none of them had their blues and two's on.

I've had a letter about my excessive speed in both Morrises from there. I don't condone breaking a 30mph speed limit but these bellends sit right inside the 30 limit zone on the far side of the village just where it comes off the motorway slip. If somebody is up your arse (probably one of their fucking inbred offspring) you cannot always hammer it down from 50mph just to make their hairdriers not go ping.

A few years ago, my Dad was on the Village Parish Wehrmacht and got involved in this busybody speed camera shit. It went so well they convinced the Old Bill to get a real Camera van to set up occasionally.
First person they caught? Yes, my Old Man then all the other doddery fuckers in the village over the next couple of weeks! At least they were able to log any suspicious cars driving through or, more importantly anybody that might have been a bit foreign looking.

I don't think being smart is a prerequisite for becoming a Peeler.

I got done last Thursday by a Scamera Van. First time ever. The road by me has changed from 60 to 40. Van on the bend of the road. The road runs between industrial estates. BASTARDS. No junctions or lay-bys on the road.

Should have burnt it, just black up first & you'd be left off.

They are very sneaky in their methods, usually hiding behind some obstruction just after a speed limit reduction sign. I almost got caught at Everton on the Bawtry Road by one of these covert camera cowards. As I usually just ease off the throttle ahead of a speed reduction and don't touch the brake, so am not always travelling at the limit after the sign. The rotters.

Entrapment is the word you're looking for.
