Ferret-Si Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 depends really if it's police or local council.alot very sneekely have no signs on but some set a sign 100yds away..if they don't and they snap u....get all the info u can about where it was. if u suspect u have been done over, go back check the area, take pics......it really is funny when u get an apolgy from the police for not having adequate signs to warn drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ffa Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 some do some dont but as far as i knew that had to put signs out saying there was a speed camera in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutley Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 if its council they dont need to display anything AT ALL, can be as covert as they like.. like the one that snapped me on the a127 few weeks back, was totally blacked out and park down a side road and only the camera itself was visable on the side of the road.. i only saw the van on a return trip down the same stretch straight after to check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy_GTi Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Police vans are usually in lay bys or parking areas or something similar with a speed camera sign on the van. However there are these people (nob ends I like to call them) who do kind of freelance zapping. They complain to the council or police that someone was doing 32mph past their run down roadside country shack, rather than the designated 30mph and the police/council give them a speed gun and send them on their way. They then sit zapping motorists, presumably cos they have no job. I doubt very much if they have a van to sit in, but remember.... BEWARE THE NOB ENDS !!

geordie_aaron Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 .. council dont need to show what they are doing? Why is this? and do you still get points ETC from them or just a fine? FS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret-Si Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 have to look into that council thing...i think thats a little unfair....some warning at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woogie Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 im pretty sure they will just say if you wasnt speeding you wouldnt have been caught.... stick to the speed limit and there will be no need for us to advertise the fact we are there......

MikeyRS Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The police legally dont have to indicate that they are there anymore. New law past earlia this year. They can sit unmarked, behind bushes, up trees, newhere they like now! same goes for the gatsos, they no longer need to be highlighted with bright colours.

Scotteh Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 police vans dont need signs on them as long as there are signs along the road they are sat on, altho i dont know about these council ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_aaron Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 AH WHAT! So i shouldn't be looking for a 'bright yellow box at the side of the road now', just 'a box' nd slam the ancors on....of course i never speed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
