Warning - Increased Police Activity In Lincolnshire!
Seeing as there aren't specific regional sections on Pf I figured here would be the best place to put it.
I have just been given a heads up of the following operation that Lincolnshire police will be running during March.
Try not to get yourselves nicked and spread the word so we can keep their hands out of our pockets! It's well known that Lincolnshire Police are VERY underfunded at the moment so this just smacks to me of a way of them raising a little dosh to line their pockets in the name of 'road safety' (not that I'm condoning breaking the law by not wearing a seatbelt or driving while on the phone).

Sir, Ma'am, All,
Please be aware that with effect 1 Mar 08 and for the whole of March, Lincolnshire Police are launching 'OPERATION FALCON'. This consists of filming, by way of the video vans frequently seen on the A15, road side stops, and unmarked camera cars to control the use of mobiles phones and the wearing of seatbelts. During this period motorists will not be given the opportunity to correct any misdemeanours but, will be prosecuted for the offence.
The video vans will be at their usual locations and will also be employed at areas not normally associated with speed traps. To this end you are all to be aware that the area alongside the (DIGBY) Unit's perimeter opposite the sports field, where the video van has recently been used, will be one of those areas and individuals videoed or stopped will be prosecuted by the civilian authorities.
The road safety Officers at Lincs Police have given me permission to inform everyone of the above as there primary concern is one of prevention rather than cure.
A reminder will be posted on the LED Sign at the exit of the Stn.(DIGBY)
