They're ALWAYS down Ozzy Rd mate - it's a bloody nightmare going down there at the best of times... and the number of times you see the speedtraps is just nuts.

If you tune in to RAM FM in the morning they tell you where that days speed traps are going to be anyway.

+++Stop press+++

"Police enforce law" shocker.

It'd be great if we could choose which laws be obeyed, wouldn't it?

Automatic Number Plate Recognition.

They have a car with the ANPR system in it (often a traffic car or an unmarked car).

They then have 3 or 4 bikes in radio contact with the car so when a bandit vehicle is Id'd they radio the bikes and they will go after the car.

Its most often for no tax, insurance or banned drivers. But there are sometimes wanted criminals or people who are upto other nasty things.

ANPR is a good system and we should all support it.

Nice idea, but mostly, it's about the usual police crap: enforcers and auxilliary tax gatherers for HM government, and NOT what we spend our council tax to have done.

Note to Police: get out and catch some burglars, rapists, thugs, thieves, murderers, in fact, any law breaker who DOESN'T net you some revenue, you wasters!

Totally agree, the quicker we get these toerags who don't have tax, insurance or a licence off the roads the better. More often than not the police find that these people are wanted for other offences too.

I'd have them out every day, on all the major routes into city centres.

I'd rather have them than speed cameras.
