Anybody else noticed ?


Been from Dorset to Grimbsby & back to today & not seen one single Trafpol car, marked or unmarked ;) for the whole journey


I assume they've all gone up in smoke as one might put it, London that is. So does this mean all the Scamera vans operated by plod on overtime won't be out in force too ? :thumbup:


Certainly made for a swifter journey today ;)

Did Reading-Loughborough-Ipswich-Reading over the weekend.

Saw 2 Trafpol with hairdryers (neither using them to corroborate the fact that they had previously judged people to be speeding) - one near jc9 of M40 parked on the hard shoulder and one in the roadworks on the A14 at Bury St Edmunds (after all the Gatsos) and probably 10 or so patrol cars on the opposite carriageway.

Saw 2 bad crashes with plenty of Trafpol in attendance too

I think they are all being replaced by HATO.

My car broke down this morning on the motorway and was checked up on by HATO in their Police look alike Range Rover.

HATO are now patrolling M25, and will soon takeover all of England.

I have noticed my local police are far more visible recently, which is nice

never see trafpol in nottingham, come to think of it, very rarely see any police cars at all.

plenty of vans with constables/riot cops in though - nottingham is quite rough
