Police Attitude to Speeding.

This shocking, but unsuprising quote [1] deserves a wider reading:

Don said:

The cops are uninterested in residential streets. I quote: "The police do not wish to speed camera monitor these residential streets as they cannot 'net off' the fines and there is no profit in it for them.

This really gets my goat. I've never seen any speed enforcment in a place where it is required. Ever seen a camera/radar gun in a town centre.

The Talivan stay on the motorways where they can get revenue. Motorways are the safest roads I know. It's hard to see how speed could cause a crash on the M/W. There's f**k all to hit. All the crashes on the M23 are due to observation of lorries shedding loads.

We need a campaign of civil disobedience.

I'll join the planned M25 go slow.

TR if you arrested every drivers going slowly on the M25 you'd be a busy man!

It's always stationary on the fridays when I head off on my travels!

If you do join it will you be borowing your company car?

mmmm. I spoke a reasonable Plod today. Basically they won't put vans on residential streets until the KSI reaches trigger point, they aren't allowed to !! (how sick is that?)
