Different to the other case though.

The marked vehicles, which were being used for operational purposes, were caught by mobile cameras in Derbyshire.

if u read the whole article it seems pretty reasonable, can't see surveilance against mobsta crack dealers at 30 mph being much use

Speeding on Call = Fine, but even then, the law states they are limited to Double the speed limit. But I would ignore this rule if they were trying to get to an emergency.

Speeding off call (ie no emergency, just wants to get home for tea) = WRONG

they are only allowed to break the speed limit in the case of emergency !!!!!!!, not any other reason as they are still breaking the law

there was a fucking good point made, speeding is dangerous and so in that case the blue warnign lights must be enforced, if there following crack dealers on servalence then they vrm should be added to a disregaurd list !!!!!, not all cars but at the time of servalance


how can you enforce a law when you dont pay attention to it yourself

that means you dont belive in it and as such should not be enforcing it, find another job and fuck off

sorry but people who use there inside knowlege to get off offences should be convicted for perverting the course of justice !!!!!

as they are making a mockery of rules we all have to go by !!!
