Apologies if this has been posted before.....

In my village newsletter, saw a mention of a 'community speedwatch program' coming into force. so i did a bit of research and found this...

Clicksie pay particular attention to step 5. For 'working group' read 'busybody old duffers'

So where will this end?? of course i dont condone speeding through villages, and neither do i do it, but whats going to stop them expanding this so that Arthur and Mavis, with nothing better to do all day, decide to take a trip to the local 'good stretch of b-road' and setting up with their picnic table, notebook and speed camera?

What with the plastic 'CSO' pigs, traffic wardens being given more power and now this.... big brother really will be on EVERY street corner :blah:

Worrying times.

And whats to stop you from:

1) Getting out of the car.
2) Taking the camera.
3) Kicking the f*ck out of them.
4) Drive off.

The previous comment is in part jest maybe, but if the police/government want to give 'old biddies' the job of setting up speed traps then they are putting them at great risk as some people wouldn't think twice about doing the above.
