A regular policeman isn't an amateur, so I'd start there. It'd depend on whether he/she had parked their car on my forecourt. Then I'd see how it went, perhaps as well as when that Greenpeace chugger ran off after I'd had a chat with him.

I had a radar gun aimed at me on the ring road yesterday, by a police officer - I was going out for a spin on the new wheels! Happened to be under the 30 mph limit by maybe 1 mph at the time...
Bit of a brown trouser moment for the cars overtaking me in L2, judging by the brake lights!


hehe

And there I think also lies Paul Dishman's confusion. I think he's getting his Pcso's confused with his special's, who's powers are exactly the same as a regular officer of the rank of Constable

No, I'm aware of the distinction. But this is all getting a bit hypothetical. In order to have a conversation, I'd first have to acquire three 'naughty boy' letters from Speedwatch and then Devon & Cornwall would have to send a hobby bobby around so that I could have a go.

It's not all that likely.

What if they sent round a regular officer who was fresh out of training school and looked about 12 ?
Would you also have a problem with him/ her ?

The special wouldn't be investigating you for a complex fraud offence or multiple murders.
It's words of advice for excess speed. I'm not sure why you have such a problem with this.

How about if you were being assaulted and a special came to your aid ?
Would you tell them to go away and say that only regular officers were worthy of helping you ?

Paul, I was a special for 16 years.

No one ever gave me a hard time for being a Special.

I think you should re evaluate your thoughts.

Ps. If you want to PM me that's fine, I'll explain all of the training they do, the PDP programme they have to do whilst with a fellow officer etc..

Oh, and by the way, I saved more than one persons life.

Actually in Devon & Cornwall you don’t get three chances. If you get reported twice by a Speedwatch group your details are automatically passed to speed enforcement officers. If you then get caught speeding you will get a fixed penalty notice or court summons. So no hobby bobby.

These sorts of people are just utterly pathetic individuals. Busy body cretins of the highest order

They probably are very unhappy with their lot in life and upset that they wield no power. So they stand on a road with camera in a yellow vest annoying Mr Average going about his/her business. All pleased with themselves that they are making sure law breaking members of the public are put in their place.

These people are like snitches to the Gestapo.

These sort of morale highground idiots in life cannot for the life of them work out why they get punched on the nose.

If they want to do good then go fk off and raise money for disabled kids who in my book are a lot more worthy of charitable endeavours than annoying people. A scrote in a chav heap will just laugh at these idiots.

These people are like curtain twitching snitches reporting to the Gestapo. Look how that little toxic mindset ended up. Innocent people carted off in the middle of the night because some cretin informed the authorities.

These do gooders live in a parallel universe and fail to understand that they have no effect on the vermin who leave a trail of destruction.

I’ve never seen these people outside of proper residential zones (i.e. children, pets, etc), usually leafy villages, where one shouldn’t be speeding anyway so I’m finding it hard to rustle up the outrage over them.

It seems to me like one of those things where people champion (or at least approve of) their presence if it’s THEIR neighbourhood that’s being covered, but lose their minds if it’s in someone else’s village (because why shouldn’t they speed through those?)

This, or City/Town folk who don't care at all and think the countryside is there for their fun (see moaning about horses/tractors etc) Bikers with ultra loud exhausts being a particularly annoying group.

Someone had a bad day? The fact is Speedwatch groups can make a difference in their community and do. In my village, speeding has dropped by 20%. The group was formed after a Parish consultation and consists of a number of petrolheads, ex policemen and the like, who just happen to think that 30mph is plenty fast enough to drive through a small village with no pavements.
