Title: Police speed check. Dedication to duty or determination to penalise the motorist
Post by: Archie on February 12, 2014, 01:48:54 pm
I just could not believe my eyes this morning when returning to Newbury from Andover.

A policeman with a hand held speed gun stood at the bottom of the hill at Hurstborne Tarrant. It was pouring with rain and the wind was blowing a gale, yet he still stood there trying to catch some poor unsuspecting motorists.

Was this a priority given the current situation with flooding?
