They p....ss me off m8 i tell you local bobbys with nothing but time to catch motorists and not doing real police work .... catching the real cr..cks.

There is a 1 mile stretch of road in Wishaw, which recently became a 20mph limit, set by the local authority. My mate was travelling down this road at 4.15am in the morning on his way to work, he was doing 27mph, not another car or pedestrian in sight (apart from the police). He received 3 penalty points and £60 fine on the spot. The police where there for one reason and one reason only, it sure had nothing to do with safety at that time in the morning !!! .. safety never has pi*sed me off, but instances like that make me sick.

Its the same with the main road through Kincardine heading to knockhill, i only see the scammer van on it about twice a year when the touring cars or super bikes are on and they know there will be lots of traffic. TO$$ERS[:@]

Yes sheep they are only interested in catching us ,i will have to watch my speed around town as i have 6 points and dont want to give them the satisfaction of  adding more to my license.....PS i have noticed an unmarked dark blue volvo patrolling around Falkirk& Bellsdyke road in Larbert they were behind me the other day but as i cut into the shopping centre they drove on []

Seing as there was a 14 year old boy knocked down and killed in Falkirk a few weeks ago by a hit and run driver, then I agree with them sitting there at anytime of the day.  I am of the opinion that 30 limits, etc, in built up areas are there for a reason.

However I do agree sitting over motorways and just inside a 30-50 limit for example is purely a money making excercise. 

Get a traffic light and automatic door(meant to detect speed traps) detector like mine.  Although I do remember you thretened to throw it out the window one time eh!

With regards to the jammer, I read a article online saying they are not legal in Scotland, and that the police can conviscate your car if they find it.  Dont know if this was true though!

argghh thats a spanner thrown into the works i was seriously contemplating getting one of these little beauties

[david_taylor]

Dont know if its true for sure.  But I think the reason they are banned and the detectors are not was to do with them detector only receives and reads signals, which they cannot ban.  However as the jammer sends a signal, then that makes it illegal.

Im sure you will find some info on the net to confirm though.

I had a good look on the web, and they do appear legal, but everything refers to English and Welsh Law.

Here is a quote

"Are Laser Jammers legal in the UK. There have been no reported cases on the use of laser jammers and there is no law outlawing them or their use. The only reference to an action brought by the police against a driver using a jamming device (although not a laser jamming device) was brought in 1999 under s5 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1947. This case established that provided radio/micro wave emissions did not attempt to transmit to a receiver whether specific or otherwise no offence had been committed. Therefore simply surrounding an object (e.g. a car) with transmitted radio/micro waves is not an illegal act notwithstanding the fact that the effect would be to disrupt the lawful use of another transmitting device (e.g. a radar gun). It seems to me that the same principle should apply to lasers but as far as I can tell this has never been tested in court."
