Exclamation

Lots of Police there this morning.

As you go through the tunnel from Meir towards Longton (Westbound), there's a white Iveco unmarked van in the bus stop just before the Post Office depot. The top two flaps in the back door are open and there's a couple of cameras pointing out. Number plate recognition maybe?

There's also four marked Volvos and two marked Omegas working with it. Couple were in the BP garage, others hidden up slip roads.

Watch out folks.

Its somert clever wot can read your number plate and check your motor against the Police national compoota, does it in about 3 secs, then the other cars pull you if you're a dodgy geeza duck!!!
