[visordown.com] - Speed camera cops drive off after confrontation
TWO POLICE officers in Glasgow drove off after being confronted for using a speed gun in an unmarked car. The pair were quizzed as to why they weren’t making themselves more visible by two passers-by. One of them said: ‘You’re in an unmarked car with a speed gun. You’re meant to be highly visible,’ After the female officer pointed at her high visibility vest and protested ‘we are’, the passer-by retorted: ‘You’re not. You’re in an unmarked car. That’s not highly visible. That’s at shoulder height. ‘Are you telling me that if a car drove down from up there they would be able to easily tell that this is a police car?’ The men then warn the officers that if they pull a vehicle over, they will remain present to argue with the decision, at which point the police offers drive off in their unmarked Vauxhall. The footage was shot by Jamie Rooney and Chris McCann and has caused uproar on social media where it has been shared over 500 times on Facebook. McCann explained his actions, saying: ‘I just seen them sitting and then they flew after an Audi, then they came back to the same spot so I took a walk over and gave them it.’ According to the Scottish Safety Camera Programme handbook: ‘Staff operating cameras from outwith a van or other substantive vehicle, must wear high visibility clothing at all times when operating camera equipment.’ ‘Vehicles being used for safety camera deployment must be clearly identifiable as such.’ Related Content Cumbria and Yorkshire police target bikers 102mph biker escapes ban Government to clamp down on speeders Biker jailed after 150mph Police chase Police clock father and son at 122mph Click here for full story...
