Massive Police thing on Dog Kennel Hill

[DJKillaQueen]

Truth is we don't know in an ANPR roadblock if it is disproportionate. The camera beeps, the police stop...simple. We also live in an area with a high level of multi-ethnicity. Outside of that the police do apply stereotypes often based on statistics so, fact...they randomly stop far more male drivers than female drivers, they stop older cars more than they stop new cars, they stop left hand drive and foreign plated cars more than they stop british cars...and so on. If you are totally legal what is there to fear?

I (white female in a average hatchback) got pulled over in the New Forest of all places, because my plate had beeped a passing police car with a 'not taxed' message (although I was taxed). The checked the disk, apologised and told me to move on.

i saw the police operating in brixton hill today..... well officially yesterday, they swiped a good few cars today. they stuck big yellow stickers on the cars saying something like no insurance no car!

i guess its all about insurance & tax....

So what's this about an ANPR op at the back of Buck House? Surely Her Maj is taxed and insured? What a gross waste of taxpayers money then.

Her Maj doesn't need number plates so she can't be pulled!

What about Phil the Greek?

I guess he pulled her.
