Chrisg Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 dark green, on Herts section of M25, between M1 and A1M pulled over somebody. On way home sunday spotted another , black but couldn't see make and reg, on A1M near junction of A1000, again Herts, and again pulled over, looked as though he had a biker. Even my wife said it wasn't on !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Herts police also have (or had as I've not seen it in a while) a white Classic WRX. Very naughty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Yeah in MK i have seen two old plain omegas recently one dark blue and one burgandy - both of them must have been 6 yr old cars judging from the reg plate. Well at least we aer safe in the knowledge that at least they are out catching real criminals, not like they are wasting time on burglary or stuff like that.

fjfr Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Do unmarked police just cruise up the roads pulling over speeders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I think they do careless and dangerous as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjfr Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 audi_smitten: say if you were a non burgularising motorist who just happened to be speeding... would an unmarked cop car stop you, or would they just ignore you or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 its not as plain and simple as that!! I have driven unmarked cars and I certainly dont stop everyone!!! criminals drive cars, its a fact!!! drink drivers, disqualified drivers, burglars, murderers all of them could be driving and heaven forbid speeding !!!

fjfr Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 No, i'm not having a dig at the police, I'm just wondering if I have to look extra hard, or if I don't really have to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 ok, sorry, I just cant stand, "catching real criminals" comments. ignorance thats all that is! it really depends on the officer and the force, some are more lenient than others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I've been stopped by a marked car for doing slightly over the speed limit, frankly I'd rather be stopped and have my license and insurance checked and do a breathaliser test and told to slow down and be on my way than get snapped by a camera and get a letter in the post. Gotta love the way in one thread people complain about the number of cameras and the lack of police and then in the next complain about unmarked cars which actually have a better chance of catching real criminals than marked cars which they will obviously be looking out for.

fjfr Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Cool, thanks for that. I totally respect the police & they do a really good job, but I just don't want to get caught for speeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
