Unmarked police car video
Discussion
There was footage from an unmarked police vehicle following a speeding Elan in a link here..
However, Towman objected to me posting it on here...despite it being available to the entire world as it's on the driver's own internet site....so I've now deleted the link..

What's with the field of view? 101mph looks like 30mph!
Actually, I drive that road every day, but I don't think I've reached 101 yet
note to self: must try hard
Sort of. It was on the Cat and Fiddle. He was straddling the centre line looking like he was eyeing up an overtake. I waited for a while but he didn't go for it so I flashed him, he moved over and I passed him and a couple of other cars.
Turned out he was trying to film my mate further down the road.
We then stopped in the next town and the plod car went sailing past us as they didn't see us parked up by the side of the road in two TVRs (great observation skills!).
They'd also called for a car from the other direction from which came hairing into town.
I went slightly week at the knees when a very stroppy looking copper came walking up the road to speak to us.
He whisked my mate off to view the video and didn't even speak to me. Guess my overtake must have been textbook
They tried a dangerous driving charge on my mate which got thrown out by the CPS. He eventually got done for crossing a solid line.
The video is amusing to watch
Even the URL on the back of the car was just about visible

That is a PHer.
So anyway Streetcop, have you got anything to say about it or were you just passing the time?
I was passing the time a little....but the point I'm going to make is that the police did the driver at the lower speed as that was the most accurate speed check. They could have gone ahead with some of the earlier ones, near 100mph, but the bobbies felt the checks weren't good enough and cancelled them....
Certainly being 'fair', IMO
