Police are dangerous and should be banned
Discussion
This morning I was driving along the a34 at 70.
I noticed ahead loads of panic braking rippling down the road and the traffic slows.
I get to the cause of the braking - a marked patrol car sat well off the carriageway in a dissused slip-road. No Laser/radar just a bobby watching the traffic.
I know the location well and know for a fact it was a weight enforcement (looking for overweight HGVs) so no one was in danger of being nicked for speeding unless extremely stupid.
From what I saw - if we get rid of speed cameras and increase the number of Patrol Cars the traffic will grind to a halt and accident statistics will rocket.
