And driving the motorway car at 90+ with one hand adjusting the video camera whilst watching the video display isn't !

Notice the piggy in the van had the LTI set to 42 in a 40.... Never mind ACPO.

Also see how it could be bouncing off the lamp post directly in front of him..... Oh for the video of that

Oh and since the introduction of the scamera unit KSI's are up 40%

Don't forget the sheer hypocrisy. The tw@t admitted to having points for speeding himself.

What a crock of shite!

Mind you I'm slightly surprised how happily van man admitted to having points, and that they actually aired that part?!

What a bunch of fecking idiots.

Why was the fatality by the biker shown to be speed related? The man was pissed, high and had no brakes for God’s sake, but the first conclusion our ploddy pall had was "ee were going too fast!" We only found out the truth 20 mins into the show.

The gap toothed gypsy juvenile tosser in the Volvo has probably cost that black guy his job, the sanctimonious, uppity, self righteous, superior brat. And what a waste of film that was; you could tell this was the most exciting thing the little had done in years but did the BBC really have to devote 10 mins to a bloke getting 3 points?

And when I saw the front of that van; "Casualty Reduction Unit" only intervention from the girlfriend means that I am not looking for a new telly right now.

Its hopeless; hopeless I tell thee.

Good idea - but you need a hidden jammer that doesn't work when they go looking for it. Optic fibre and hidden switch?

Apparantly just using your headlights can affect them sometimes but I don't know. Highbeams if you spot them? You don't want anything that continuously blocks IR either as it'll confuse all the other laser detectors people use..

That did occur to me too! I mean if I do travel at 100ish I bloody well concentrate on the road and am not looking for tiny buttons on a computer to press...

Nope, a 40. Noce one g_attrill. If only getting the evidence to prove the equipment was being misused was that easy when the full weight of the legal system is against you!

Traffic Cops.

South Yorkshire police.

This was a repeat....it's been on about three times now, so it'll probably run and run.......
