Just to let you know the A19 north of the M62 where it runs past Eggborough power station has been the site of a lot of police activity. There was an unmarked speed camera van there last Thursday and Friday (white van, chevrons on the back, no police badge/logo/text, 2 high up dark windows) with patrol cars parked up on the north and south to give chase. There's also van(s) parked up further up the A19.

I believe they're making themselves visible for the eco protest (details click here) at nearby Drax power station.

Anyhow, just to give you a heads up if you use that route for Squires and the like. No need to attract attention when it's not needed Wink Very Happy

For a map click here.

FYI also seen parked up in Selby police station car park were two unmarked dark blue vans with the chevrons and camera like windows at the back.

HTH Thumbs Up

:up more than likely. Would account for being able to stop cars in either direction. Did see a few cars pulled over though Shocked

Still, as said, no point in doing silly stuff to attract attention is there Wink

Nice link dude, ive never seen one of those before! Must be a london thing! Are they privately run or just lazy coppers?

Surely if, like that site points out, the van is parked incorectly or the signs are not posted then all the tickets its issued are invalid under EU law?

There was one on a bend on the M18 on the way to Cadwell on Monday. I saw a few cars braking ahead which made me realise there was something, not that it was a problem for me as i wasn't doing a ton(ish). Shifty Wink

No idea mate, but I guess you could contest it if you had evidence. Thats unlikely though as whos going to stop and take a photo.
