They were out with the laser guns again today Nothing unusual about that you may say, but they are getting even more sneaky Laser detector sprung into action just as I came off the traffic lights to go down Powis Place, down to the roundabout - not speeding, thats weird, wheres the talivan?? They were standing right down by the roundabout, wearing flourescent jackets standing on the pavement with the laser gun on a tripod! You'd have to be blind to miss that, right? Well, they picked their spot well - they're doing roadworks there, and they just looked to the uninitiated like some council workers doing a survey, blending seamlessly with the REAL council operatives - sneaky or what!! Be careful out there |

I dont mind them in built up areas, especialy that close to a school. Its when they start putting stupid ones on a roads where there are never any accidents but they know they can make money that realy bugs me.

this is because people that have bought them new flats are complaining about the noise level etc they knew it was a busy road before they were built so why buy aflat there?at the end of the day the road and cruisers were there way before them its a shame that people that pay good money on there cars and road tax mot etc that they cant even use the roads without bein harrased

Drive a road legal car... don't get fined... I fell about laughing at the Falkirk Cruise at the state of some cars... the cruisers know the police are going to be in attendance, so why turn up in a blatantly unroadworthy car? I just don't get it. |

Don't the cops up where you are publish in the local papers where they are going to set up speed traps? They have to by law tell Joe Public where and when they are going to be with the speed traps. Mell - its a fact of life, if you're young and have a car that stands out from the rest, you will get a pull. A friend of mine had a nasty looking Golf painted purple with tinted windows when he was 19-20 and he got pulled about 40 times in it. He never managed to pull in it though. My neighbour who is a copper (he does drive an E36 328i Sport Coupe so he's not that bad) says that if your car looks like a pimp mobile you'll get a pull! FACT! It's what else that might be in the car that they are really interested in. Andrew PS In my line of work we have to use measurement instruments that have a valid calibration certificate. Next time you get a pull ask them for proof that the radar they are using has been calibrated properly and proof of this would be an in-date calibration certificate. |

I think asking them to prove that their equipment works might change their attitude somewhat... from a stern lecture by the side of the road and a warning to definate points and a £60 fine, i'm sure we've all had brushes with corrupt coppers oh and the scamera partnership site for this area is www.nescamp.co.uk although the lists of where they will be are deliberately vague in most cases, so its of little use besides, we all know they're lying |

i might have got the street name wrong, its the one where theres a fork in the road and traffic lights, if you headed straight on you go onto the street where checkpoint is, if you carry on left down the dual carriageway (where they were) you come to a big roundabout, the roundabout takes you to off to the beach boulevard if you went left, or if you went straight on it takes you towards the harbour?
