Pcs With Speed Gun Hiding Behind Hedge, A75 Today

[ccrien]

Bit surprised today few miles west of Annan, 2PCs about 30 feet up a side road behind tall hedge with 1 holding speed gun on roof of the Volvo estste (so he could see over hedge)- sneaky or what? so much for the deterrent and high visibility theory- not. may be ne should have joined M15 or 6 or whatever. Good job there was a long line of traffic so just following that steadily at that point!

Hope he slipped off in the rain without a risk assessment ;-)

they use all sorts of tricks.....

i was caught on my bike going through a 40mph sign at 48mph (dropping from national speed limit) - they were in a gate just behind the 40mph sign.

i have seen the pic of them with the speed-guns on a tripod in a horse box hitched to the rear of a landy parked on the side of the road!

i think as long as somewhere on the road there is a speed-camera sign displayed, they can hide behind things.

......and all this 'money-making' off the motorist whilst real crimes are being committed elsewhere!
