Ha,
Possibly ambiguous. I refer, not to the citizen of course but to the traffic officer |

Ooops - ok
As I'm sure you are aware, I have the talent of "never being there when you want one" and also being able to be behind many people the very first time they ever flaunt the Law!! |

My ambiguity I think rather than your interpretation It's good that you can laugh at yourself To make it perfectly clear, my point was not made against traffic officers, rather against the financially motivated priorities foisted upon us by the previous administration where you had a ratio of one Policeman to 150 million scameras. |

I personally (along with plenty of coppers) also hate speed cameras. The ones at accident hotspots, which is how they were first initiated, are ok. The problem is they cannot allow discretion. There is not many police officers that would give you a ticket for say 37 mph at 4am in the morning. With a camera you get a ticket. In my opinion not proportional..... |

Given the choice of your hypothetical speeder or the anti social barsteward who drives with a blood alcohol level multiple times over the limit, I know whom I'd rather see brought to justice. It's to be hoped that the present administration do a root and branch rethink. The refusal to fund local authority scameras is a positive start though |

It's a shame the money raised by the cameras isn't used to increase the number of traffic police instead of replacing them. That would help to address issues like those above and more besides.
