Gets on my m00bies this. Could rant on about this for longer than; I could about the infringement of my liberties to rearrange my brain from time to time.

the firm i work for do work for the local constabulary, we done a load of signs for unmarked vans eg. 'john smith builders' etc cannot remember the exact names, but there was a builder, joiner, sat/ariel fitter and a electrician
to be honest tho i think they were used more for surveillance than speed traps

It's probably not anything to do with the police, probably something to do with orders from the government, and I expect nothing less from them!

Yeah thats quite harsh, although as with everything, they aren't all wankers! My dad is in the police and he along with some colleagues are trying to instigate change 'from the inside' lol..... go dad! lol! However I'm not sure the government will listen to the few policemen and women who are appalled with the way the force is at the moment.

Back to the thread, my dad thinks this disguised van business won't last if in fact it happens at all as reported in the article. The whole practice is in direct conflict with the data protection act - you can't take pictures of people or their property without notice unless they have actually committed an offence. So, they need to be in a police van or they need to have a roadsign which warns motorists of the speed trap apparently

What about tv detector vans, same should apply to those too really?

I reckon they should stick a leaflet through the door the day before they send round their spy vans
