Be Careful!!
« on: 17 August 2010, 15:23:22 »
Did a little "run" up to Doncaster last night,( 430 mile round trip) to get my Pikey wagon.  Saw the local plods new "weapon"........
Sneaky Barstewards are using a black Subaru Forester estate with cameras front and rear in it. They park up with the bonnet up so you think its broken down, the front camera looks out under the bonnet to scuttle gap. About 1/2 a mile down the road, an officer jumps out and stops you. Video evidence, bang to rights, no defence. On the A38 towards Derby last night.

The Subaru is on a 59 plate, and had no aerials or visible signs of "plod" use.

Be Warned!!

Not me speeding........ I was towing a Pikey wagon at 60mph when I saw it, and LOADS of people were passing me at a lot more than that, Mr Plod had a tidy amount last night of speeders. :-[

They do have all sorts, some vehicles can be easy to spot...but others not so.
They do indeed have some green S60's about, I saw one recently at auction. It was a 2005 '05' S60 T5 in green, with 265,000 miles. The outside looked like it'd done 50,000...it was really good. Interior wasn't bad either.
TVP have had a few Seat Leon Cupra R's, you get a smattering of 3 and 5 series across a fair few forces...and Skoda's, Focus ST's a few Lexus'. The Met have a few Range Rover's, although very few are on standard duty, most are with the SEG or DPG.

Down here we have a light blue Volvo S60, a Seat Leon Cupra, quite a few Skoda Octavia VRS', a green BMW X5 and a black BMW X5, all of these unmarked, there'll be more than that I'm sure too. Tell tale sign is the aerials which is what I look out for, for when I'm doing under the speed limit, so I don't get pulled for curb crawling  ::)
