Excuse my ignorance.... but are you saying moving police vans with camera's can get you !!!!!

No the vans are parked up. i/we were travelling in the opposite direction.

Any given Police force could fit VASCAR to every vehicle on the fleet if they were desperate to catch every single speeder and ne'erdowell...

Camera vans tend to sit where they have maximum impact, and are essentially shooting fish in a barrel modern lidar/camera tech means that a single camera can process several lanes of traffic at once rather than needing a camera per lane

That would not be operationally possible Al as a high percentage of local patrol cars are used for non-speed enforcement roles with officers not qualified / allotted to enforce traffic speed limits, being either basic drivers or/and assigned to other police duties. Therefore VASCAR equipment would not be used. The traffic division cars, and  those vans allocated to speed enforcement are so equipped as they are in constant use by trained officers.   There are also armed response units, and other specialist role cars that would also not benefit from the installation of such equipment.

Yep, you said "could" Al, and I have explained why not

The drivers only need to leave the system on, chasing can be done by post...

That said the £6000 unit cost might upset the budget

That is certainly one of the factors, along with the other issues I stated, when it would be little used in the majority of marked police vehicles most of the time. Investment in ANPR is a far superior operational choice.

 £6000 unit cost   Wow, that's cheap!!!

We just ordered new kit to be fitted to our traffic fleet, comes with a few more noughts than that! Just had a look at one they done as a taster - Excellent piece of kit though, but Bloody expensive

I could sell you a couple of sticks of chalk, a tape measure and a stopwatch for a very cheap price of £100 

Sod it!, I'll throw caution to the wind, and even include crayons and notepad to work out the sums

Was talking to a policeman friend in the pub t'other day, he was extolling the virtues of a new piece of kit that was being trialed .. seems it records video, measures speed, compares speed to database settings (a bit like my TomTom does - hope its a tad more accurate!),  automatically records number plate info via ANPR, and has a permanent datalink to check that ANPR data for RFL/Insurance/MOT as well as outstanding fines, missing court appearances etc etc without the "operator" needing to do anything... if it detects ANYTHING that it "thinks" wrong it simply flags up an alert ... up to the operator to then decide if any action can/need be taken ...

Is that the sort of thing your new kit does

"big brother" certainly seems to be watching !!

[Crazycarzowner]

Yup Entwood, that's the sort of thing, plus something more that's

Sounds like step 2 will be to remove the expensive flesh things from the police cars and have it automatically disable the target vehicle and do away with the driver..
