| Surely the whole purpose of speed cameras and radar traps is to encourage motorists to pay attention and reduce their speed? The lorry driver has therefore performed a service to the local community.
Presumably the Police logic by prosecuting him is the same as me seeing someone about to commit a crime and having a word with them, thus preventing a criminal act being committed. If a Police officer saw me do that would he then arrest me for obstruction??
North Wales Police advertise in local newspapers informing the public of when and where speed camera vans are due to be sited. Can I therefore report the Chief Constable for obstruction of the Police Officers manning these vehicles and demand that he be prosecuted?
By the way I think the Police do a great and difficult job but sometimes common sense seems to go out of the window these days.
