speed camera vans

[bodgit]

Do all speed camera vans have to have an open window/hatch to aim the gun through.
I was just leaving the village on my bike going to warp factor 2 with just 50yards to go to national limit when as an oncomming lorry passed me the van became clear. Too late to significantly slow down although the breaklights lit up like afterburners.
I decided to go back and offer my congrats on a snidey place to hide, behind a bush when I noticed the van had no appature for the camera to aim through. Am I lucky or can they photo you through blackened glass
by the way this is what we have to face in North Wales

Absoloutly gutted for you mate. they do the white van with a black rear window trick near us and yes they can get you.

What was really disturbing is last week i was coming through warrington and there was a car with the bonnet up and hazards on as if broken down. BUT when you get passed it they had a speed camera on a tripod shooting through a hole in the bonnet.

meanwhile while they are collecting £ donations an oap is being burgled and the local drug runner is free to do his deals .

Over in NI they are supposed to be clearly visibile at all times, they arnt allowed to do the sneaky tactics like that.

The other day going to work i noticed a white van that looked like it had broked down on the side of the road - the rear windowns where metal coverd - but the camera was in the drivers side window pointing to the cars on the other side of the road

I live in Penyffordd but the horseboxes are out anywhere in N.Wales.
Local radio had the police on a while back when they said they would be out every weekend till October to ensure bikers safety.
The other weekend my lad and I rode to the horshoe pass and were amazed to see a policecar with gun in somebodies driveway.

This is what annoys me about the police not just in northwales, i wouldn't mind if i got pulled for doing wrong. It's the fact that they are so underhand know and you don't get notified of the offence upto 2 weeks later

[bigred5765]

sneek in to the woods and let there tyres down,B tards

[RickRick]

better still, sneak into the woods and whhel clamp it

[Gibsy]

Just do this if your on a bike lmao

[mole2k]

I know somebody drove into the police at the bottom of his lane, they used to sit down there at night with the lights off he went flying down around the corner and piled into the back of them.

lol thats a good 1 but my dads skyline had i film on it that stoped cameras from seeing it also a mate of my dad had a car and the numberplate would change over when he hit a buton lmao

They say they can't get you with sneaky tactics, its entrapment. but what they do is get you so far away, that you haven't even seen them! I got done from something like 800yds last time.

Plus, the camera vans etc have no discretion, and are literally there to earn money and meet quotas. Get caught by a PC and they can give a warning if it fits: Ive had a warning. Although nowadays, proper Police aren't setting traps, the vans are out instead.

There was one on Walshaw Road the other day, in a real parculiar place as it was aiming at traffic coming through a bend where cars park and few people even go over 25mph. If it was still there when I came home, I was thinking of partially blocking the road while I pretend to break down - go check my oil etc. LOL but he was gone, he didn't stay long atall.

So, my little sisters invisible Ferrari had a large Deflector array on the front which emitted an inverse tachyon pulse which used to distort the space/time continuum thus rendering primitive speed guns useless

The film doesn't work, all they do is look at the picture as a negative and shows up the numbers.

As they were on private property, they must surely have been completely at fault.

I recall encountering a speed camera on a stretch of road toward the Titanic Quarter in Belfast - it's the width of a four-lane motorway, has virtually no traffic and no pedestrians, yet had a 40mph limit on it.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, there were roadworks at the end of the motorway, with a speed limit and 'kill your speed, not our workers' signs, and people were flying through them at 70mph...and not a speed trap in sight

[greasy mark]

gits shouldnt be alowed.but they do have to have tempory planning consent to site a tempory camara and they also have to put a sign up some whare near the camara other wise its entrapment you can also request a calibration sheet for the camara and a copy of the planning consent with out these they can not do you .

On the M4 today about 6am this morning between junction 21 - 20 and there was a traffic cop hiding behind a bush and when i went past he was pointing a speed gun out of the window. but im not sure if they go trough the system or do they have to stop you them selves.
