Thanks Mr Hanky. Predictably I rest my case your honor. Easy pickings sadly.

Misleading information by OP then!

Just to *try* and get the whole speeding thing not just being about "persecuting the poor motorist", if this doesn't get the point across, nothing will. Very well written by someone I have a lot of respect for! Just take a minute eh?

It's not about persecuting the poor motorist!!


Sometimes Police Officers give more than just speeding tickets!

Is it not true that most police cars these days have devices which are capable of number plate recognition and from that have instant feedback of illegal cars? I am pretty sure that all police vehicles involved in "speed traps" will have such capabilities.

Why was it misleading information by OP (original poster?)? They simply said police stoping(sic) cars on Dock Road.

Bit of a difference between Police stopping cars (suggestive of more than one Officer, maybe an operation) versus 1 camera van - just my opinion of course.

Many years ago, way back in the early sixties, leaders of the Police Federation of England and Wales were invited to attend a day at the House of Lords; all part of their education. One Lord Boothby, approached the group and asked for their views concerning the morale between the police and the public following the recent introduction of radar speed traps. Quick as a flash one of the officers in the group retorted:

"Well my Lord, when you have had the most unpleasant task of undressing the dead body of a schoolchild in the local mortuary at 9.30am in the morning, when that child should be sitting in school with its classmates, the morale between the police and the public gets flung out of the window because some idiot couldn't resist putting their foot down on their car's accelerator pedal.

I believe nothing further was said about the matter. And that was in the days when the police had very few cars on the road to deal with.

Hahaha, hilarious. (not referring to the link)

The police are always there, people should be used to it by now.
No big deal.

If the police were going to do stop and search etc they aren't stupid enough to do it on the dock road raftl

Why do you think they normally do it by cammel lairds or the Wallasey tunnel?

Use your heads people laugh

It's very simple, don't go over the speed limit and you won't get caught!
