We get the same politically correct waffle from some on this site

I don't recall anyone being politically correct, merely pointing out that the rules are there, you know what they are and you know what the outcome is if you get got. The throttle goes both ways.

We dont see high profile Drug Partnerships

You're obviously not looking hard enough, each Police area is required to have one and they have a lot of resources put in to them and make life difficult for the real criminals as you put them.
Hint, some of us drive big stripey cars with flashy lights and ECILOP on the front.
Some of us could walk past you in the street and you wouldn't notice.
Horses for courses.
When will you understand that ACTUAL POLICING, you know,the poor sods who you **** off on a regular basis, receive absolutely ZERO income from the Camera setups.
If we did I'd be on permanent overtime sat at the side of the A1 zapping motorists at 79.1mph
But what do I know, I just sweep the bits up after.
OK, I fibbed.... I tell someone else to sweep up......
As for the Chav dealers.....a 20 minute response to a call like that is not bad... I mean, you wouldn't want the Police to speed unnecessarily,would you?
Not like it's life or death is it??

PS - the actual spelling is VANDALISM... standards are falling, I blame the Teachers........

Sorry Rushjob just back from Hols and spelling was a bit of a rush,yer i faled my inglish ho level.
Im retaking it in Chav grade.
As for not seeing that police vehicle zooming around your right I dont see them there an endangered species around here my whole point.
Ive just ridden 1100 miles around Devon and Cornwall and seen 1 Traffic patrol car.
But like everyone else you see 100's on mobile phones.
And as for political correct'ness come on the whole recruitment drive is based on what you think about our foreign friends rather than your apptitude to do good job.
And yes I do know quite a few in the force and most of them want out for the very reason that the police are being politisized,they no longer hold-up the law for all but for those minorities that shout loudest.
We will soon have most police tasks taken over by numpties with more so called powers given to others,Traffic wardens the new type of Specials and Motorway patrol police having certain tasks assigned to the new highways dept (M6 Is trialing this at the Mo)
Maybe they do have a Drugs partnership where I live but its never been in the local paper but I can always find something about the wonderfull things the camera partnerships are doing to save the world.
Im afraid you may take it as a dig at real police officers thats not the case I want real Police not some excuse to save money on the service,I want to see traffic cops because they have discretion wether to prosecute someone for 10 miles over but when they stop that person they could also be drunk.
Polls show that there is a definite link in the standing of the police and the rise in speed cameras and yet the police federation is not fighting its corner,we dont want the latest gadgets just more visible policing.
And No I would'nt want to pick up the peices either or tell relatives etc but life is a coin and one day your lose the toss wether it be through illness/accident or just old age so Im goining to enjoy it the way I want to with a touch of controlled risk.

Is it on video then?

[Bungi]

no apparently not, apparently if a police officer makes a statement that statement is considered to be the word of god, and will convict any mortal, (unless of course you have your own video to prove you wertent speeding which i didnt have, and im not sure it would have been admissable even if i did have) a witness would have been a good way that i could have proven him to be a liar....Hmm what happened to the witness??,
any way he lied and i paid, it was totally corrupt.
life isnt fair...... but thats life !!

however pepipoo are a must visit website for anyone accused of speeding

its a well long story and i am much calmer now i have my licence back
