Bob.

No complaints from me. AFAIC, if you are driving under the influence of drink or drugs, or with no licence, tax, insurance, mot etc then you deserve all you get.

I have no problem with them looking out for drunk drivers, especially after the carnage caused by such idiots over the years.
Not sure if Bennyboy is joking, sarcastic or doesnt have a clue; but the money paid out in fines etc, goes straight to the government not to the police officers pocket

Pretty sure that they have targets to meet now. I think (if its true) is completely unfair to both police and civi's.

Unlike the threads where there is discussion for the right / wrong place for the Police to put speed traps, there is no excuse for anyone drinking and driving. If they are also checking for uninsured / unlicensed etc drivers, then bonus!

With the kit they have now there is no need to stop cars to check on insurance etc, but they have my backing if it is spot checks on drunken or drugged drivers.

trust me anpr isn't all it's cracked up to be.
i drove round in one car that wasn't on the insurance data base for over 12 months and only got stopped twice.

the car i've got at the moment although it had a tax disc on wasn't taxed (long story) and this only came to light when i'd had the car for three months.
