Yes, quite often. Sometimes I am the one in that position. We have found that officer presence is the first level of control. we can often get the public to reduce speed to a legal (and safe) level simply by being seen. It also prevents the normally law abiding citizen from getting a citation for not paying attention to what they are doing and tends to make them pay more attention what they are doing (which also provides for more safety).

All English and Welsh Police Forces are divided into geographical sectors, usually they maintain on with a similar obstacles as community councils. each of those Police aspects has a minimum Staffing Requirement for each shift. hence, you're extra probably to ensure the Police on a Friday and Saturday nighttime than you're on a Sunday or Monday morning. Police Forces can not flow decrease than the minimum Staffing Requirement because it really is a breach of well being and safe practices regulations and would threaten the safe practices of the standard public and different police officials on responsibility. From the on the spot officials come on responsibility till the time they clock off they're out and about coping with jobs stated as into the administration Room or Police Station with few opportunities to take a ruin. "The bill" would have you ever trust that there are canteen a lot of Coppers purely sitting round eating tea and eating pie all day even with the undeniable fact that in point of fact a ways diverse. you'd be taken aback how few Coppers are actual on responsibility at every person time. Oh and as for the street patrols - maximum uk forces have had their budgets for Roads Policing (site visitors to you) slashed in present day years through the living house workplace and local Police authorities (civilians who imagine they study about policing). so it really is why you spot so few Coppers at streetlevel. brilliant answer through Skipper 409. supply him the ten factors because it really is exactely the way it really is on the interest.

yes lots of times but they will become rarer now as it is more likely to be the traffic patrol rather than the police. I am a lorry driver so i guess i will see more than the average motorists.

Yes but the police woman inside was eating a sandwich. Thought maybe they put them there for the police to stop for lunch breaks.

They are probably using laser tracking. There is usually a second vehicle, the chase vehicle which issues the citation. It could be he was just watching traffic and being visible to control traffic.

Yeah, I'll do that sometimes with mine. It's to stay out of the traffic and monitor speed or activity without being noticed.

Once, I presume it was monitoring speed, only it started moving just as I drove past! Slightly disconcerting, but I wasn't stopped!

Yes, to be sure, but you don't see them very often. Don't they prefer to hide behind things? and catch you doing 71mph.
