nothing better to do??!
there are some police stood outside my gaff checking the traffic going past has got tax discs. normally i wouldnt mind as i pay my road tax and dont see why others shouldnt.
but it takes the piss - there is 6 of them doing it and maybe more further up the road where i cant see!
good to see tax payers money going to good use then!

They are tossers.
They have just moved 2 of the Speed Camera's in Norwich about 500 yards further up the road. Must be to catch people out. I don't care what anyone says, they are just generating revenue.
I have to say though, that anyone that drives without Tax deserves what they get. But 6 officers to police it??

Last summer our local paper ran a story about the police being terribly short manned and that was the reason it took them 45 minutes or so to respond to a 999 call where a woman was being beaten up in the street. And why they couldn't police a small village just outside the main town.
Within a couple of weeks of this story there were 2 police cars parked just off the main road by my house. Two were using the speed gun (over the roof of a parked car so they were hidden) and an officer was waving people into the side road to be booked out of sight.
Really annoyed me how they hadn't got the manpower to deal with either aforementioned situations but had plenty to book people for speeding They were there a matter of days after the road was reduced from a 40mph to a 30mph limit.

I recon it's a good thing, but not sure about the number of coppers though
