If you even pretend to believe that cameras are anything but a source of revenue, you're smoking crack.

Some modern update on the CB radio might be useful, using channel 999 to keep other roadusers informed of such covert or rather underhanded tactics. Perhaps instead of TOMTOM and other manufacturers including MP3 and Video players into their GPS systems they could instead incorporate a more useful feature that allows motorists to press an icon or button on their device when they spot a HIGHWAY ROBBER, which can be use to transmits a warning to other motorists in the vicinity, via bluetooth to phone networks.

As per usual, we all acknowledge that the motorist is being ripped off, which of course we are, but as per usual we then sit back and simply wait for the NIP to happen. Of course, if the price of petrol/diesel gets much higher then few of us will be able afford to use our cars anyway, we won't get caught speeding, speed cameras will become pointless and the economy will go tits up.

Isn't it about time we campaigned more forcefully as a comsumer group to limit the abuse of power the government is unleashing on motorist to raise treasury funds? When do we get to say enough is enough? Well done Darren for going to the BBC. but a lot more momentum will need to follow to change the tatics being employed, especially as it brings in such wealth. Our speed limits are increasingly being brought down to make the crime of speeding ever more likely for all of us. With such easy pickings to be made, would you stop?

Whilst our police officers are sat in police stations, filling out forms of one sort or another, we have "Commuity Beat Officers" pretending to be police out on our streets instead, helpless in most cases to be able to do anything to deter real crime. Put them in the station instead to fill out the forms, and get the real coppers back out on the beat where they should be. Campaign to get rid of the Pirate Road Safety partnerships and get our high visibility traffic police cars back on the road instead also, doing what they should be doing, making our roads and community safe. We pay our taxes to have a police force, if anything they should be out there defending the motorist against the highway robbery taking place on our roads today. Dick Turpin, hung for his crimes..

Perhaps as a last resort or even as a first, we motorists should buy our own high visibility marking/signs and pull up and park next to these disguised vehicles to prevent them from robbing us all and hit back instead of sitting back!

I am struggling really hard to see the connection between valve radios and disguised Speed cam vans. Is there any? Or is this just a bit of the well known and much loved OT lighthearted banter

[Darren]

Your right it is and it'll stop. Do as I say and not as I do!

Of course, in the multimedia 21st century, even radio stations have webcams in the studios.

BBC Radio Derby studiocam
BBC Radio Solent studiocam (just in case they ask you to record in the local station)

Let us know what time they are recording please.

why only a few weeks ago in the northumbria force area various "builders vans" had been parked in lay-bys on the A19 and A69. these vehicles were both burgundy in colour and hand rear tinted windows that were clearly not part of the vans original make up and did not befit the age or condition of the vehicles.
