Essex police don't cop it

Following our story yesterday about the mobile copshop caught by a speed camera (see link below), the BBC revealed yesterday that "Essex Police vehicles were caught on speed cameras more than 5,000 times in the first six months of 2005".

Yet there have been no cases recorded of any officers being disciplined for speeding while in other forces, Suffolk and Beds in particular, licence endorsements and fixed penalties were handed out to 19 officers. Essex Police said that its officers' triggering of speed cameras was for "legitimate purposes".

Reports from other forces show that the numbers of officers being disciplined remain are also small.

One law for them...?

One law for them?...
Not much we can do about that...
But they have to follow the same rules as we do, except in some emergency circumstance's!
And they use to be the leeding people who give's the right excample to the people!
Well, if those are their excample's to follow?! what did we do wrong then when we get our tickets when doing what they do! and they don't???
One law for us all...
But I'm afraid to manny of them and higher can stand above the law, making their own rules!
But then again...what can we do about that?
Maybe making our own survailence and video them?? and making national TV from it that shows what they do? I think a lot of people will follow that "show"!! and then I think they have to do justice...?
