Back to Radar detectors ?

I read this morning that the police will be able to place mobile sites where and whenever they like, day or night. I suppose that means I'll have to get my old radar detector out again...well disguised of course....shame that my TT isn't the best of both worlds.

Police have always been able to do this. But they still have favourite haunts. The locations need to have good visibility of approaching traffic, space to stop drivers etc.

Nope. Safety Camera Partnerships yes but Traffic or RPU's were in all the forces I'm familiar with always free to deploy wherever they wished.

according to my small amount of research they had to place them in an area where there had been at least 3 accidents resulting in serious injury or death?

now they can plonk them anywhere

Indeed but this is all with reference to fixed and safety camera mobiles only.

Rural East Yorkshire seems to be getting lots of small concrete/tarmac "parking places" at the sides of some roads. A number of these are situated just round bends or over brows of hills after straight bits of road.

If was in charge of scameras and told to maximise income, then I suspect I'd pick these places myself.
