Free country my ????
Just been to visit my Mum and Dad in Morecambe,lovely sunny day,fantastic country 'A' roads with long straights and crystal clear vision.had two police cars follow me and saw about 5 marked cars and one unmarked car sat in a lay by on a dual carriageway.Multiple speed cameras in every village you pass through.I never broke the speed limit once(wink wink)l felt like a criminal after completing the 65 mile trip.This sort of thing is I am sure going on all over the country.What next ID Cards,Eye in the Sky tracking.Where is the freedom to live a little without rules rules rules and more bluudy rules.
Road is A65 Skipton (North Yorks)

It's not uncommon, more so at the moment that they are out in force
Keep your eye out for a 3.2 V6 Vectra (white) unmarked (55 reg)

For info - My mum's well in with the coppers (due to the nature of the family business) - they are having a mass exodus with mobile units around Skipton etc. and surrounding (due to the lack of fixed Camera's
)The piece of bypass (A650) between Steeton & Kildwick (Crosshills) is their speciality! More so in the layby towards Skipton, just off the roundabout - I've seen loads of the Ba$tards recently

Plenty out around sunny Scunny yesterday too: marked and unmarked Scoobs, marked BMW amd Marked Vectra 3.2.
They HAD stopped two young kids in a Fiesta, subs and wires hanging out of the boot, one of 'em in handcuffs, the other being spoken to.
Music probably too loud while the cops were enjoying their donuts

I live at Cowling and work in Skipton, this area is so over policed it's incredible, you'd think it was a crime hotspot! 
I've even heard a MET copper say it was over policed!
Look out for the Police Scoobs too, a silver one all stickered up and a very subtle blue STI, the last three letters of the reg are ABV, there's very little to give it away but if you look closely you can just see some lights in the front grill, above the rear no. plate and cameras on the rear shelf
The A65 is a big no no, the feds just sit on there and catch the bikers all day long, the A59 to Harrogate isn't much better...both crackin roads!

Best roads to play are beyond Burnsall, or over the tops to Esholt....
Or Lothersdale to Colne (back road)
