I've just pruned some of the more off-topic posts from this thread.

Keep the posts on-topic and stop the arguing and bickering or else the thread will be closed permanently.

Oh and you know the majority of your local force personally do you?

Hmmm, a bit later you say

So which is it.

Good luck with that :tu:
Of course when it turns out they aren't emergency workers on their way to an emergency call you'll look a bit foolish, but then again I'm sure you're used to that.

not quite true they can break the speed limit on any call they see fit to so though ACPO rules ( these are not law though ) limit the ones who can to those trained to do so

what i find funny about this is from my knowledge of the police the oposite is now true

lots of police are so fed up with having to fill out forms every time they get in a car and have to get some where fast because off 999 call or because they see something they wont go over the limits no matter what as it causes to much hassle

Cheers, but i have not seen any police for over 6 months now, and when i used to ever need to call the police they were always late so i don't really give a crap. If i need the police for any reason i will take the law into my own hands, atleast i know the thugs are being punished.

Apologies, Rob - post removed.

It is a number of years ago now (prob 7 or so) but I remember the chief saying that they would get points on their licence if he found out who they were instead of them coming clean.

I believe that he had a lot of egg on his face because the mobile camera had been set up on the basis that speeding motorists were a danger on that section of dual carraigeway. (never know of an accident there myself)

It is however possible that the identifiied speeding police officers who filled in the vehicle log did not receive points on their licence.

It is also possible that they were hamster-eating alien xenomorphs masquerading as humans, but is it probable? ;)

I see, again you choose to pick up a one liner in my post and use your usual methods, I understood these methods were against the terms and conditions of the forum. Your methods certainly leave a lot to be desired considering you always seem to imply that you are on the moral high ground.

however, I do not go around the forum picking single liners from peoples posts that have a different view to my own, and I do not try to put people down here for having a different view even if I do feel they are very unguided or not in the real world.

The cheif constable was looking to make an example of those who were responsible for the egg on his face, those who could be indentified were not responsible for this.

foreverwar, If you really do believe you are better than any other members on this forum please lead by example, and not stoop far lower than members you disagree with.

Re: Police payout £2.3m for accidents
 

Escapee, you are extremely mistaken - I do not believe I am any better than any of the other members on this forum.

I was just pointing out you appear to have confused possible (could have happened, no matter how unlikely) with probable (likely to have happened), which could have unintentionally misled readers.

Anything is possible, but not everything is probable.

OK. So you are willing to claim a lot of people that you don't know are corrupt? How do you know this?

As a mod, he has no choice.
