Coming home from work tonight I saw a silver Fiat Punto parked facing the oncoming traffic with a copper inside, on the roof was some kind of device (possibly reading reg plates?). Further down the road were 3 patrol cars each one had pulled someone. So, if you're passing through Shipley watch out for silver Puntos!!

Cleveland Police have recently got themselves a Civic Type-S in Grey. 0-60 in 8.5 and 131MPH isn't too bad compared to the Ford Focus that they usually drive

Saw a similar setup in Bradford tonight, and have seen before near my house. I believe the camera is a number plate reader for bringing in untaxed (and therefore probably uninsured, driver banned etc) cars.

They did one night in each direction on a main road near my house, and each morning after there were sh1theaps clamped at the side of the road with "police aware" stickers on - off to the crusher with any luck!

I have to say, the cars that were pulled were, at best "dubious" looking.

Our local Shell garage had a plod car onsite for 3-4 nights on the trot because of these. Apparantly, the Bradford ******* who are wanted for any old crime, tend not to pay for their petrol and since these ANPR sessions have begun, they now use Leeds garages for their cutprice wares

I saw two cop cars (marked) parked side by side on canal road last night, 200m up the road another cop car with flashing lights had a jag S-type pulled up. I got to the lights (travelling towards Shipley) and to the right a 4x4 cop car was parked up with the lights going. I tought they must be just doing random stops for breathalising coming up to xmas or something. I can't see a guy driving an S type not bothering to tax it.

Had exactly the same thing by me yesterday, just by the west malling bypass....

I always used to laugh at North Wales police using Mini's. They've managed to get their own back in recent years, though

Sounds like the same place. The Punto was parked on the pavement next to the skip yard.
