Speeding policy under scrutiny Communities are campaigning for motorists to reduce their speed. A police force's policy on speeding which has attracted strong opposition is being debated at a public meeting. North Wales Police has come under repeated criticism from both the public and former officers for its push to catch speeding drivers in the area. The Chief Constable, Richard Brunstrom, was told by retired assistant chief constable Elfed Roberts to "get a grip" and focus on catching criminals. Organisers of the meeting, at Bodafan farm in Llandudno, are hoping to gauge public opinion on the matter. They claim it has attracted support from a wide range of people, including a former AM, Gareth Jones. Holyhead's deputy mayor, Jeff Evans, who recently demanded a council tax refund over what he claimed was bad policing in his home town, will also be present. One of the meeting's organisers, Arthur Roberts, from Llandudno, said: "We are having a meeting to gauge the strength of feeling. "The response over the phone has been overwhelming." "I have every indication so far that people are unhappy with the emphasis being placed on the motoring public rather than crime in general. "The deputy mayor of Holyhead is coming along and we have had enquiries from as far away as Birmingham. "We will see how many people attend to see how they feel then we will try democratic ways and approach our local MPs. But he added if nothing was done, people may organise a group to arrange a peaceful protest against the speeding policy. Mr Roberts added: "I had to emphasise to people that the meeting is not a protest because some people wanted to bring tractors and trailers." Nobody from North Wales Police was available to comment.

If, for the sake of example, someone with too much time on their hands was to stand in front of a speed camera with a LARGE placard on a stick, such that the placard accidentally obscured the camera's view of traffic, what offence might be committed?

or in a similar vein.....waving a model car on a stick in front of the lens until the film ran out

I suppose it would be "perverting the course of justice" or some offence under the 2001 anti-terrorism act

maybe someone telling him to f&&k off would be more appropriate....

"Holyhead's deputy mayor, Jeff Evans, who recently demanded a council tax refund over what he claimed was bad policing in his home town, will also be present"

That's unusual to say the least

Sounds to me like Brunstrom 'gets a grip' far too often already!
