Was on the North Circular earlier when I noticed a white car (not sure what it was, some kind of cheap Ford probably) which was unmarked except a small sticker on the bumper saying "CCTV on board". It had two domes on the top of the car which must have been cameras...any ideas?

Close enough to read a small sticker on the bumper but not notice what make of car it was?

We have something similar in Manchester, only they use smart cars I actually saw one hiding behind a fence the other day with just the camera peeping over!

Shocked

The powers that be a be are using these types of vehicles with ANPR to catch uninsured, taxes and licensed drivers.

Thats the fella.

I'm so tempted to go up to it on day hand him a tenner and demand disclosure under the data protection act, "I want all the footage you have of me!"

The same should work for the traffic wardens in Salford with the cameras on their hats. £10 seems like a cheap price to pay to get a traffic warden off the street.

why? because its so dam annoying that there are traffic wardens to discourage people from parking in dangerous places?, usually where there are double yellows.

Such as the geniouses near me that park on junctions, box junctions, on the sides of busy narrow high streets.

And to top it off half of them don't look or signal before they leave Rolling Eyes

I have no interest in cars whatsoever...so I don't generally know what the car in front of me actually is. Chavmobiles and supercars notwithstanding... Smile
