"The police car was in a convoy of two vehicles on a training run to test an electronic speed camera device." - taken from the new report.
Goes to show what injudicious reporting can do - the police officers were testing a VASCAR device which is not, by the common definition used here and elsewhere, a speed camera.
While not condoning the actions of the officers, it would be nice to have the same level of accuracy from our press as we do from our police officers.
well that is sad. speed cameras cause crashes even when they are not installed.
Mind you this will be recorded as a crash and an excuse to stick a camera on that stretch of road.
maybe all the traffic cops will go on strike to protect their mates, like the firearms officers do whenever they go on trial.
Is this true ? my work colleague whose son is in the drug police division merseyside says traffic cops are the most hated in the division pricipally because they like to grass on other coppers breaking traffic rules and once he was reported for chasing a drug suspect onto the m53 without putting on his high vis jacket. very confusing that one.
Would seem that there was even less reason for them to be exceeding any limit or driving in such a manner as to cause the accident -in fact they don't even need to move to calibrate it. In this case the "injudicious reporting" gave them a level of credibility which may not be due.
If you ever see a small circular sticker on the back of a car, white background with the head of a rat in black, that signifies the owner of that vehicle is traffic police.
