I wonder what they were doing?

Drove over the M25 this evening at Leatherhead. There was a trafpol volvo parked up on the bridge and the two BiBs were observing the traffic. One of them looked to have a camera type device in his hand (looked like a large camera like a digi-slr, not specifically a speed gun). They were in their shirt sleeves, so not there for any length of time.

I wonder what they were doing?

they were binoculars in his hand, they were looking for somewhere to buy donuts...

if just a digi cam, maybe they were peeping toms, or just simply recording that part of the road for a traffic accident investigation.

Could be the filming mentioned in another thread somewhere, looking for drivers eating, smoking, on mobiles etc.

Well it certainly had an image visible on the diplay at the back. I got the feeling the BiB were there looking for something/someone specific and had just stopped adn hopped out. They were in shirt sleeves at 5pm and it was nippy (I know that BiB are well ard and used to the cold).

It is if it's a company vehicle

Good point, mine isn't so I didn't think of that.

i was in the same area this eve. the volvo was parked up at about 5.15 when i drove past. About 3 mins later it came by at warp speed, followed another 2 minuites later but a BMW 5 series traffic car instead. I went on to orpington and did not see them stopped at the side of the road anywhere. I wonder what they were doing...

[BertBert]

Yep, that's the right time. I assume then, they must have been looking for a specific car/person, saw them and went after them.

Yeah, luckily I got away in the end, the buggers caught me with a handful ofmidget gems and I had to call down to the engine room to make my escape!
