Yep! This one's a BIGGY!!!!!........Going ALL the way I reckon!........







Lets collect my thoughts a mo!............right!

Ian Johns....a radio DJ, was receiving calls to the station about Kent Scam vans speeding...

They called the Kent pratnership and on air they were challenged for proof!....

So in good journalistic style.....They filmed 7 of them travelling at up to 10 mph above several speed limits including a 30 in a 20mph zone.....

Furthermore, they filmed the pratnership chief driving at 60 in a 50, 50 in a 40, 40 in a 30......etc.

He didn't like this and got the police to issue an harressment order against Ian Johns!...

They really don't like it up 'em do they?........WELL NEITHER DO WE!!!! ...........

Paul S seemed very pleased........

It's going to be very hard for them to refute I suspect UncleDave (continous film with known recognisable points en-route which can be measured.......Speedo readings albeit non calibrated to support it) .......I think they're stitched up (with a good lawyer).

First it's the chief Constables, Then the MP's and the Magistrates.......Now followed by the Pratnership themselves who preach SO venomently against us poor lawbreakers that WE are SO SO BAD!!! ........

Yes folks!............They are all child Killing speeders too!.....

In fact, NO!.......They're WORSE!!! because THEY, are......HYPOCRITES!!!

What we should all do is sign up for these community speed enforcement programmes and catch the scammers. If caught using there own means they cannot refute surely?
I was once o/taken on the M9 by a Police Van whilst doing "approx 70mph", the van was doing I would estimate between 85-90mph. No problem really except that plastered all over the back doors was the 'foolsspeed' and 'speed kills' slogans. Made me laugh, sort of.

Let's hope this is the first of many scameratti to be named and shamed.

If they have been intimidating the press there should be no quiet resignations - sacking, loss of pension and jail is the only suitable outcome.

And perhaps a short spell in the stocks, so that people may make their feelings known..........

Quality! Is there a link to any news story online to have a goosey gander at?

On the hypocrite line of thought, I witnessed a camera van many moons ago pass me at approx 45mph in a 30, brake hard for a fixed gatso, accelerate again to 40mph (through a town) before piling into a layby, hard on the brakes and setting the camera up. How I wished I had a "Police, Camera, Action" style video of their driving....

Excellent news, I hope they go down for it. If they don't I would like to take the evidence to follow a private prosecution!

Speed doesn't kill, idiots do. And that 30mph in a 20mph, and 40mph in a 30mph is absolutely obscene.

Is he setting the example? Surely if he can ask for a harrasment order to be given against someone taking photo's of him speeding then we should be allowed to do the same against the Camera Partnerships?

We can't have one rule for him and another rule for the rest of us, after all that might be seen as abusing his authority.

Yes. He's a freelance broadcaster, and a good friend of mine.
