Were you breaking the speed limit? If so those "goody too shoes" are probably fed up to the back teeth with folk like you endangering their lives with excess speed, and have decided to do something about it. Next time it will be the police if the locals prove enough speeders go through at certain times of the day. Take it as a warning and slow down.
If you were not speeding why worry?

The road goes from a 60 to a 30 and they sit on the boarder. So they detect you in the 60 but do they put it down has a 30. I was slowing down and was doing 37 in the 60 then 30 in 30
COMMENTS folk like you is a bit judding don,t you think

I have to say when I first saw the heading 'Village People with Speed Camera', I had visions of 5 camp guys dressed up doing speed checks! What a mental picture that made!
Sorry, I didn't mean to be flippant.
In relation to the discussion, I will now throw my bit in as a Plod. I can fully understand peoples wish to decrease the number of speeders through inhabited areas.
My personal view is that we should not have to rely on volunteers from the community to do the work of the Police.
The Police should be doing the speed checks not volunteers, who could be put at risk by drivers who take offence at what they are doing.
There should be more beat Police officers out to deal with the local speeding issues.
There should be more Traffic Police Officers out doing speed checks and acting as a visible deterrent, which is far more effective (but not cheap) than cameras.
Let the Police do the Job.
Perhaps I should become an MP?
att:
The first photo is the officer who was not happy with my interest
The second photo is one I should not have taken apparently, as the photos were confidential even though he was situated in a Bus Stop....Where people congregate :?
Third photo is the safety partnership van that has blue lights behind the grill......Not sure but I thought only emergency response vehicles were allowed these :?
In general he was not happy at all having his photo taken, he asked for my camera and demanded my camera, I told him if he wanted it he would have to take it off me, he declined my offer :roll: ....I wonder why :roll:

Another one we've had here. Once when plod was down in the village doing speed checks, someone went up to him and said something along the lines of "nice to see you up here keeping speeds down for a change.". The response he got was "Not much point me being here, within 5 minutes of me setting up everyone knows I'm here.". Wonderful attitude to have. Just shows the mentality that it's nothing to do with providing a deterrent, it's about collecting the cash.

I wouldn't quite say it's an adverse mentality, more being realistic. Everyone knew he was there, therefore they slowed down, I would guess. Job done.
