Police forces, sorry services, are spending millions of pounds on ANPR systems to catch criminals using the roads.
Yet they are also spending thousands of pounds on hand held cameras that film, which is then used as evidence, to prosecute everyday motorists. No need to stop the car at all, they just download the footage
I'm not sure what other people's views are but personally I think that a level of discretion should be shown by police, something that can't be done by cameras, they should be stopping people and talking to them, getting into their cars if necessary, searching them, checking insurance etc. not standing by the side of the road generating figures and pissing off normal people.
Lazy policing and hardly giving a good image to the public.
I got done by one doing 46 going into a 50 zone from a 30. He was stood about 10 metres (I'm not exaggerating) from the 50mph sign. Now I know technically that is wrong but surely words of advice would have sufficed. Luckily he didn't stop me though, or he would have discovered that I was drunk, had no insurance and a dead body in the boot.
