Speedcops out in force in Sussex today

[pkjks]

Must be a major traffic op in force in sussex today. BE WARNED. Mobile cameras and cars all over the place on M27 and A23. Hopefully they're nicking the insurance and tax abusers, but somehow I doubt it.

I'm sure all the car criminals and burglars with access to the internet will avoid the area now...

Well done....

Ahhh! maybe - but the Sussex P'Hers will be aware and ease off - no nasty NIP's

Thanks for the tip Peter

I'm sure P'hers in Sussex will either have the numption to speed in the appropriate places, the observation skills to spot camera vans and the like and possibly also invest in radar detectors...

Criminals don't have the above and rely on tip offs..

Fair point, but i do not know whether their interest is speed or tax related.

I was doing 75 when i first spotted the van-camera. It was parked in a perfect spot at the bottom of a hill. That's easy revenue. However i got overtaken on the inside 3 times this morning - no cameras or points for that.

(Saw a dog patrol too)

Was the dog patrol with the speed cam? If so, more likely to be an ANPR...

Do we know if the one in this thread IS a speed enforcement operation. Many people don't know the difference between Speed enforcement and ANPR and for the place to be saturated in cops, the ANPR sounds more likely...

[smifffy]

I take your comments in the spirit they're intended, Streetcop, but given the way speed is being enforced under the current administration can you really expect any other attitude from the majority of PHers?

The dog patrol was travelling behind a volvo patrol car.

What's an ANPR? (is that a silly question)

Not a silly question at all mate...

ANPR...Automatic Number Plate Recognition System...

Camera in back of police van reads passing number plates...any vehicles that are;

Stolen, wanted by police, owned by disqualified drivers, used in crimes, not on insurance database, no tax etc...are flagged up within a second. Then the info is passed to officers nearby who are usually in high powered vehicles, motorcycles and occasionally armed or dog officers to stop the vehicles..

The result is usually 75% success rate....

[pkjks]

Thanks Streetcop

In that case I hope at least 75% get nailed. It was the fact that the van was parked at the bottom of a hill that made me suspicious

[Streetcop]

anytime mate...

It's is you Quinny with the short memory....If you go to page 2 of the 'Political Message for all to read' thread, you will see that I clearly posted the following:

Streetcop did say if you had read it properly Quinny said:

That's the entire point....I've never appeared holier than thou....quite the opposite. Not quite sure how I've got on your ManTits though ...I've told the truth and also my opinion. That is what can get BiB in the shite. From now on...there WILL be a danger of me appearing holier than thou....

A man of my word ME THINKS

I doff my cap in humbleness, and apologise, I am now sitting here staring at my feet ashamed at my oversite. How will you ever forgive me

You are forgiven.... Although the 'holier than thou' attitude that I try, isn't really me and is very difficult to maintain...

Good news, surely.

Can anyone tell us what that should translate to as an increase in convictions and clear-ups for those crimes when this year's police stats come out?

I would guess at several times the previous annual figures.

Or am I being wildly optimistic?

And with the police time freed up by ANPR I should hope for similar success in increasing convictions for dangerous driving.

Not just several times recent year's figures which are well down, but several times the previous figures.

Is that too much to expect?

[Streetcop]

no

[sadako]

London - Brighton Smart rally tomorrow, could be getting entrenched ready for that. Our family have two cars running in it.

[marcos maniac]

Its ANPR


Seen 3 seperate units - having a good old blitz

(and saw one scrote mobile get pulled by a traffic car)

[towman]

ANPR van on the A23 bridge just behind towman towers. Asked if they wanted a cuppa, but they were sorted.

Incidently, the van was not visible at all from the road, and it was still there at 20:00, operating in the dark.
