The sneaky  :censored:   :whistling:

There is an unmarked Busa in East Yorks which I have seen a few times.

I think it's fair to say all Forces have unmarked vehicles, we all know the consequences if we ride like dicks.

Thanks, I've ridden with this bike for the past two years on ride to work days.  Full video equipment and blue lights in the mirrors and indicators.

Is a 2010 GTR, in blue, everything has to be standard due to police regulations.

Speed cameras in an "unmarked" horsebox....PAH ! whatever next ?......police in camo clothing with twigs attached to their hats.  :mfr_lol:

However I do think that if you do speed and get caught, then you can only blame yourself, I also believe that there is a degree of 'money making' philosophy behind the use of some speed cameras.

Personally I'd rather be watching the road and all that's going on in a busy traffic environment, than constantly taking my eyes off the road in order to check my speed, I can't see how doing that contributes to road safety  :no:

I am surprised that in this day and age of being "open and transparent" with the public that an officer has signed that off as being "fit for purpose".
OC ... I don't care what anyone says and I spent 11 years on Traffic, there can be no doubt that for local Highways Authorities speed cameras produce huge amounts of revenue and we have all seen cameras at places and thought " WTF is that doing there " ?? .... that video though is clearly  :police: and so they are out for 1. Ticking Boxes 2. Ticking Boxes  3. Ticking ..... :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
