...... and meeting the right police officers at the right time with the right credentials

In the form of a £50 note?

I have far better official credentials than that!

Most,laydiee's have the right credentials 
When was somebody actually stopped by a constable for speeding? All by camera now(real policeing in action)
Cameras do everything now got a noips for no seatbelt last month, "photographic evidence" Humberside...
Oh, about five minutes ago I would wager. On a motorway or A road at least some traffic officer has pulled up somebody for speeding, and maybe also other offences which often go together. You see on motorways there are few speed cameras; yes, we know there are variable speed limits, road works, or a particular"black spot" where cameras are positioned, but in general hundreds of miles of motorway are not covered by speed enforcement cameras, although ANPR cameras may be in operation.
It is really down to live traffic officers to catch the majority of speeders, and other offenders, away from the cameras. THat is why people like me are saying constantly "we must have more traffic police, if no others!"
