Got caught speeding...........

[Stelmer]

...........in an Army College in North Yorkshire by I think the Military Police. Was hidden by a van and there was no warning signs.

22mph in a 15mph on way out. Wasn't looking at speedo, too busy watching for people walking/marching.

No points or fine, ( I think) he just wrote down car reg, my name and company name and said that if he caught me going too fast again i'll be banned from entering the camp.

So, anyone else been or heard of speed checks in these places and what usually happens to non-military contractors???

[McGee]

We have campus police here in the US.

What an utter laugh.

I got countless parking tickets on the bike which are like $5 a go.

Best one was speeding 11mph in a 5mph I mean what the hell do you have to say to that apart from laugh.

Thing is these people are either failure cops or retired cops and most carry guns

Also they drive golf carts

TBH I seriously doubt the 15mph limit is legally enforcable. Not sure if MOD property is classed as "private" but I guess they could ban you for whatever reason if they wanted

[Gpz 900R]

They are a bunch of cocks, jobs worths, but if they report it, they can make life difficult for contractors, gives them something to feel powerful about and no doubt wank over later.

MOD land is classed as private.

I'm expecting a month of car searches now anyway.......

MOD Police have no power over Civilians so cannot take you to court but can refuse you access to bases.

[Chriss]

For what it's worth, the guard can also strip your car down to component parts, and they don't have to put it together again.

Pretty sure they do if you are on a Military Base, just the same as American MP's have jurisdiction on American Airbases

You make them sound like the SS Sickpup, truth is though they asnwer to their Chain of Command and through the MoD to the Civilian Govt just the same as regular Police.

I wouldn't play with their attack dogs though. Civilian dogs are trained to go for the right arm - MoD dogs can be trained to attach anywhere the Trainer wishes.

Security at the last two places I've worked have been the same. They had their own speed gun and would either ban you from driving on site or, if you were an employee, take your company driving licence off you. Bit of an arse if you were employed to drive cars around.

Heavily armed is a bit of an over statement, we can't even manage to give them ammunition when they are in a Warzone as the six deaths at Majar al-Kabir indicate.

Seriously though, end of the day it makes little difference whether Law Enforcers are indirectly responsible to Central Government or are a Fedral Force directly responsible to Central Government.

Funny you should say Oppressors Army, if we do suffer a truely Totaltarian Central Government it won't matter if there are MPs on the streets or not - there will be Heavily Armed Army Patrols instead.

As far as I am aware MoD Police is the umbrella phrase for Royal Military Police, RAF Police, the Royal Navy Service Police and Royal Marine Police Troop.

If you believe someone is unfit to drive due to drink or drugs you can stop them driving by taking the keys and keeping them there while the police arrive.

Not sure how it would work on private property though, pretty sure i could ride round my garden smashed out of my face and no one could stop me. as long as i wasnt causing a nuisance / danger to others.


We have a speed limit on site of 5mph, widely ignored as long as you dont go screaming past the security buildings. And driving / riding safely of course.

Think it is a 3 strikes and you get a month ban system, if they enforce it. I have never been stopped, and i go at 20 ish as i can go round the speed bumps.
