Congratulations Worthing Plod

At about 06h00 this morning they and their scamera wise guys managed to catch the most heinous of criminals. A criminal so bad it, the crime warrants an immediate double punishment followed by years of punitive punishment via insurance companies etc !!!!! I was one of 2 cars on the road, 40 zone changing to dual carriageway noational speed limit road when off went the flash. I was not even doing 50 indicated as I was accelerating towards the dual carriage way. Why oh why do the plods insist on scameras, surely it makes more sense to have plods out patrolling, however at thattime in the morning they are more than likely tucked up nicely in bed dreaming of their next Xmas bonus sponsored by UK drivers.

Horrendous, in fact it was so bad, I have no recollection of it ever happening, must say my body shop is excellent as well, as the damage is already repaired

Here we go again... SCP not police. different part of the system. Its also a speed camera so fixed site. So that means its always there.

We are on duty 24 hours a day and unlike you get no bonuses at christmas, the fines from cameras go back to cameras and the govenrment.

Personaly if you miss a yellow speed camera then your not paying attention. What else could you have missed?

As for bonuses I do not get them, a small point but had to be made. As for on duty 24hrs a day, that may be the case, but the funny thing is in the last month of using the following roads daily M23, M25,M3,A23,A27,M27,M271 I have not seen a single patrol vehicle on the roads, so maybe instead of bed, it is sitting in the station filling out forms. I do not have an issue with trying to ensure the safety of road users, but untill such time as I see ALL road users from pedestrians upwards being treated the same I will remain an avid anti scamera lobbyist. If as you say the scamera units are not part of the forces in the UK, howcome when I have had occasion to call scamera offices I ineviatbly ebd up speaking to a PC or WPC ? As for not paying attention I was fully aware of what was going on around me, however I believe that in the interests of road saftey spending the entire time behind the wheel looking at my speedo and in the air above the pavement actually makes me an unsafe driver, but hey speeding is such a mega crime that is exactly what is being advocated we all do.
