Is there an election coming?

Call me cynical but...

I've been commuting from jc10-jc2 of the M4 since last June. I have never seen a patrolling trafpol car in this period, until now. Last night and this morning I saw a patrol on both occasions.

No call me cynical but I've not seen a scamera van out and about for a couple of weeks.

Usually see about 2 or 3 a week parked up, and at least one en route to wherever.

No scamera vans are still around in notts where I gave it my usuall salute as I passed

No scamera on the A52 last week........

Will be going that way on Friday, would be the first time this year if it happened 2 weeks running.

I have seen a Police vehicle locally and 2 more on the M40 this afternoon. Not sure if the plain white RangeRover with blues and twos steaming along the M40 in Warwickshire was BiB though.

Paddington station has had a police presence for the last two weeks.
Lots of dogs. Don't know if they are bomb sniffers or the drug sniffer ones they love to use in london ( having neither bombs or drugs on me ).

Saw a documentary set Soho last year where some poor sod went up to stroke the nice police doggie. Dog starts barking and going mad. Oh dear - 1 reefer found in pocket.

Well, could be coincidence....

No scamera van on the A52 again this week, and I've seen 4 police cars of various descriptions between Grantham and Boston today.

Not many scameravans out & about here atm, but plenty of BiB. Perhaps you have a point...

Well, first day after the election.

Scamera back on the A52 near Grantham this afternoon. Only saw 1 plod car in 140 miles.

Back to normal then........

Our local authority has no scam vans, but I saw one this week! They seem to go to "Rent-a-Scam" as and when req'd.

I've even seen one with a TVP crest on it in the past, and I'm in the NW!

Maybe they're like luggage trolleys on the railways ... I saw one marked 'Penzance' at Waterloo Station! - Streaky
