bindi Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Just thought I'd let you know about one of Leicestershire's unmarked police cars, which is a Black Skoda Octavia (yep Skoda), kitted out with all the tricks, including a mardy female pc. If anyone has a digital photo of the said vehicle I would be pleased to have one. Derby/Notts has a dark Hond Accord (with big spoiler on the boot) South Yorks have darke blue Volvo's and BMW motorbikes Any more for any more???

Catamong Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Herts Police are also using Skoda's - I saw a grey saloon pulling somebody on the M10 a few weeks ago, they also have a dark green Volvo saloon, again spotted on the M10. I think they rotate them between forces so that all of us criminals don't get used to them in one area. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Sussex/Surrey M23 use two new Subaru Impreza WRX, one in Silver and one in Blue. They also have a black Jaguar sport. I thought the idea of police presence was to slow people down before they speed. Not encourage them to speed and then be caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 O.K. this might seem a bit left field here BUT............. If you drive safely, don't use the phone and keep within the speed limit all this becomes irrelevant. Pay as much attention to drivng as you do to gun safety and you won't go wrong.

browningstalker10g Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 down in devon they use bmw's volvos and range rover v8's, with my dad being a shooter and a rozzer, if you stick to the law, use a hands free kit dont speed to much u shouldt care what they drive, they arent belive it or not out to get u unless u do something to warrant it, but i agree that other constabularys are diffrent and take diffrent views on whats an offence or not, devon and cornwall constabulary are good though!, example being i was doing 88mph ish on the dual carridge way and was over taken by a marked volvo estae, the cop in the passenger looked at me and did a slow down hand signal and i nodded then he nodded he smilled and they drove off!!

I wish they all could be relied upon not to be bent. My mistake was to smile at the hormonal wpc in the passenger seat of the police car. I was doing nothing wrong, and was in lane one of the M1. Next i hear I was seen towing a trailer in lane 3, but guess what......the lying b@stards say they didn't have a tape in the video machine and that they didn't pull me over cos they were on their way to court. (how very convenient for them!!!) Been to court, pleaded not guilty, and now have to go again in april for a full hearing, all at tax payers expense. This is just SO bad!! Apparently its their word against mine, so lets all have a guess who they believe. I think they would just think that I'd take it up the **** and pay the fine......Well.... NO ONE plays with my ****....especially the plods. Edited January 30, 2006 by bindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear how dull life would be B) What's stoppin' plod doin' something useful ...like catchin' real criminals Speedin', phonin', whistlin' get real there's bloody maniacs out there. Use your life for somethin' worthwhile! Ooophs I feel a pull comin' on Mind you I pulled up behind a Ford the other day. 70 mph on the dot outside lane of the d/c. Would they pull over, no way Sunday bloody drivers! All they could see in the rear view was my front grill (big FO 4x4). We stop at the lights and I pull up to their bumper. All of a sudden; blue lights in the back window, red neon sign...PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON! Me waving, laughin'.

MC Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 So the police aren't out to get you, *****. The motorist is the easiest and therefore most popular target the old bill. If you could satisfy your work targets by sitting on your ar*e and looking at pictures that illegally placed speed camera's took rather than risking getting a right hander of some burglar or drug dealer what would you do. Our local police wouldn't come out to a friend whose property was being vandalised as "they finish their shift in 5 minutes and would be off duty by the time they got there" What happened to public service? They sit in unmarked police cars and nick people for speeding What they don't seem to realise is cars are a hell of a lot safer these days than when all the laws were written and doing a few miles over a limit isn't the end of the world.

Pedro Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Spookily, criminals use cars as well. One of the best ways of catchin them is stop checking "dodgy looking geezers". I will admit that traffic coppers are bit anal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bindi Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Dodgy looking geezers yes, a middle aged couple in a family car??? We didn't exactly have our baseball caps on back to front with music thumping out.......but then again I did foolishly smile at the grumpy bitch of a wpc!! lesson learned perhaps, but I'll have the day on court. SO, HAS ANYONE GOT, or can get A PIC OF THIS BLACK SKODA POLICE CAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
