I wonder if we could campaign to have these mandatory in cars driven by anyone connected with the speeding racket?

The they could receive an automatic summons through the post if they break the speed limit.

Naturally they wouldn't mind having them fitted and it would prove to the rest of us they're not stinking hyporites who'll lie and deceive to further their businesses...

For sure a thought provoking question I didn't exepct everyone to be able to 'get', but the fact remains such a move would cause the parasites to have hobson's choice. Lose their licences or lose their holier than thou position

Would it?

What if they did and were found not to be breaking any speed limits?

It wasn't thought provoking, it was a silly rant.

It's no more seneible than suggesting that police officers should be monitored 24/7 to ensure they never break the law.

I think some people fail to comprehend that this is possible.

Because they can't stick to the speed limits they don't think that others can.

I don't understand. If they ARE stinking hypocrites and exceed the speed limit regularly, surely they'll be caught by the "parasitic scamera partnerships" just like you oranybody else? Why do we need to resort to additional measures specifically to catch them?

Surely they're not better at road observation/hazard identification/ camera spotting than the rest of us?

Silly idea that only leads to more bureaucracy. Policing the police on these matters, really?

So if a black box firm offered you a job on 10 x your current earnings, you'd turn it down? Yeah...right!

I regularly see a Merc Vito with what look like ANPR type cameras on all four corners of the roof driving into London each morning then back out in the afternoon on the M1. I dont know what top speed those vans have but its never travelling below 90mph and the driver is usually on his dash mounted laptop or his phone. I've seen it around West London so assume they've got a contract to catch parking/tax offenders.
