The thing is Wench, it does make money for the gubbermint so it can be classed as a moneymaking scheme. It also boosts the stats for the police so they look like they're doing a better job (hence the easy target claim).
That being said, no speeding = no problem wink

I got caught speeding last year - it was 11pm on a Sunday night coming along Scotland Road down to the tunnel. I was a woman on my own and sh1t myself stopping at lights even, I just want to get home.
I was doing 36mph in 30 limt and was caught - sh!t happens. I don't like it but rules is rules. I'm much more aware now. Like the others I don't understand why all the animosity towards the cameras - if you're not breaking the limit it doesn't matter.

You may not speed intentionally but you also don't NOT speed intentionally - that's the bottom line

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!
I was on traffic patrol in a busy city centre area. I was double crewed and sat up on a 40mph limit to use my vehicles VASCAR unit. To add a bit of interest to events we had a TV crew with us and filming us for a weekend period. I was just telling the camera man in the back why this was a frequent place to deal with speeders, when a young lad went flying by in his car tring to impress his girlfriend. Having started to clock him, I set off at full pace in my Volvo T5 which is good up to 150mph. when we finally got him stopped his average speed had been 84mph. He was invited to our car for some serious ear bending and a summons. with the cameras still rolling, he said " I wont lie I normally do 60 up here, I should know better I ran a woman over last week" I know that sounded great in the court. His licence was last seen being shreded by the magistrates. ........................................ Submitted by... Martin Moore, Traffic Patrol Humberside Police UK

It's the hiding thing that gives it away. If you are hiding, then you are clearly trying to CATCH someone actually speeding rather than trying to prevent it. It's like they are HOPING someone will be speeding so they can write them a ticket and give them a lecture about being dangerous to wives and kids etc - which to me, runs completely counter to the concept of road safety where you would think the preferred option would be preventing speeding - let's face it if it's so damn dangerous, then why are you sitting there hiding, waiting / hoping for it to happen?

It never ceases to amaze me the way people view the activities of the police force, because an officer was out of view doing his job in catching law breakers he becomes a barstard, should be run over, etc etc and yet the same officer being out of view preventing your car being stolen would be the worlds greatest. When it comes to catching speeding motorists, why shouldn't they use every method available to them, they are not there to act as speed limiters, we have speed signs for that and laws that everyones aware of, and if their not, then they shouldn't be on the road in the first place. As far as where the fines end up is of little consequence, does it really matter, if the fines ended up going to a cancer charity would that be more acceptable, i think not. I'm the same as everyone else who drives and gone over the speed limit at some time and probily will continue to do so, but if I'm ever caught there will be no moaning, i will take it on the chin, because no one else has made me do it.

As usual, words of wisdom from Bert1



5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

But the law states (I belive) that the police must make sure they are visible when using radar guns?

Hiding or not, if your not breaking the law you have nothing to worry about.

Besides, even if he was stood clearl in view, but the time you see him, he would already have a radar reading and it would be to late anyway.

He probably tucks himself away to avoid idiots mounting the kerb at him and hurling abuse [Linked Image]
