@kombat Sports & Fitness I still say it is revenue generation as speeding fines go into what is known as the Treasury's consolidated fund, which really means the Government's own bank account. Since April 2007 the funding (fines) for safety camera partnerships is now passed to local authorities in the form of an enhanced road safety grant. There may not be a policeman inside the van, then they should be arrested for impersonating the police as POLICE is written on the van.
@kombat Sports & Fitness I live on just off a single track road with bends and no pavements the speed limit is 60 mph. A mile away there is a duel carriageway with no bends, no buildings and no junctions yet the speed limit is 50 mph. Guess where the speed detector van sits? Its not about safety its all about revenue generation. Also if I were doing 65 in the 50 limit I would be fined £100 and 3 points on my licence where as if I were doing 34 in a 30 limit I would be sent on a speed awareness course. Shouldn't it be the other way round the real speeder doing 15 over the limit is the one who should be on the speed awareness course and doing just over the limit just a slap on the wrist.
@kombat Sports & Fitness It must be nice in your La La Land. Show me one bit of evidence for your claim. The only purpose is speed detection. As many as 12 million drivers receive a penalty notice each year, a study by the RAC Foundation found, the equivalent of one every 2.5 seconds. It means almost a third of Britain's 40 million motorists are now receiving a penalty notice annually, bringing in more than £800 million in revenue. This is in addition to the 1.2 million drivers who are now attending speed awareness courses instead of receiving a penalty and points on their licences.
I was wrong! They enforce a range of offences including driving while using a mobile phone or other distractions, failure to wear a seatbelt, contravening double white lines along with dangerous and careless driving. In addition, they are fitted with automatic number plate recognition cameras to gather intelligence about drivers who come into North Yorkshire and commit crimes such as drug dealing or theft.
@kombat Sports & Fitness I took the ANPR from an article on the 10 myths of radar detection vans used in North Yorkshire, in fact the whole of my last reply was from the article.
Problem is if a speeding motorist killed a member of my family or a friend (which has happened) I'd welcome vans like this....which, I do. Don't speed...you don't get caught. And some lives could be saved in the process perhaps.
This is not a question of road safety..it is without a doubt revenue..I will qualify..We have sat nav...we have in car EMC units on 99% of cars van trucks on the road. A little software development would enable a vehice entering a 30 zone to receive a sat nav location talking to the EMU to restrict the speed to 30.....or any other area restricted speed limit...It is not about tech or safety it is about revenue..I had a son-in law working at the enforcement end of this..Its money !!!!
All well and good but as others have said, pure revenue is the reason behind them, not road safely. This is why they hide round corners, over brows of hills, on steep downward hills and hidden in laybys. They are scum.
Statistics show that the majority of serious and fatal crashes happen on rural roads between the the hours of 8 and 12 pm, when the roads are at their most quiet. I think its fair to say that the liklihood of seeing a speed camera on an empty rural road between those times is highly unlikely. They police are more interested in making money from what is usually a minor speeding offence, ie high volume of traffic, minor flout of the law, than actually being on the roads at the times when the big crashes are happening. The truth is if they really want to save lives, then they are all parked in the wrong places in order to do so.
The police are only interested in preventing people being injured by selfish speeding motorists. 62% of injuries occur on urban roads. The time saved by speeding is so insignificant compared to the risk. Would you risk a pound to gain a penny ?

These people are employed instead of traffic cops because the higher ups have found a way to save on the price of a cop in a car, doing a patrol, not necessarily looking for speeding motorist but being a presence against crime. If I was speeding I'd rather be pulled over by a cop than caught by some arsehole in a van taking photographs who I'd never meet which results in a fine coming to me in the post.
Ah normal people thoughts, I really do wish the local authority would waste years of training to catch me doing a minor crime that could potentially paralyze or kill someone. Instead of keeping their attention on other more urgent matters like muggings, rapes, and murders.

It would be good point; however they let their fellow officers off with warnings; also what happens to the monies raised does it go towards the roads or infrastructure; nobody seems to know. So no this is not for speeding it’s raising revenue

Most children killed on the roads die inside a car, not by being struck by a speeding car. Usually being driven by a parent. Try explaining that to the parent?
Its never been about speed, it is revenue driven. I remember Clarkson on Top Gear saying that only four of the top hundred accident black spots had cameras.

Friday 19 May 2023 A man from Bradford has been fined after admitting to a public order offence against a Safety Camera van operator.

Looks to me as he is in a public parking area I see no reason why he cannot park there, there is one comes to my village that does that and its a public parking spot so i see no reason why you couldn't just park behind or in front, if it was a specific parking spot for police vehicles only as sometimes is the case then it would be different i suppose.

@@howardchambers9679 no obstructing a designated person is the offence for blocking them, while flashing your lights to warn someone may slow them down you may be slowing someone down that really needs to be caught, and unless you flash your lights to slow people down when there is no camera then your only really flashing to stop people being caught....... On a side note they not only capture speeding offences but also people using their phones while driving and as its a continuously recorded video they can also flag up any dangerous and antisocial driving they witness and the footage is reviewed by the viewing team and action taken when necessary and also people not wearing their seat belts.
How's this for an idea? Scrap all mobile camera vans and every council in the UK puts up average speed cameras where needed. These of course will need to be funded by increasing the council tax but the fines generated can be injected back into the council. And there will be fines because the argument against camera vans is that they are just there to raise money so drivers must be speeding in the first place right? Might as well have drivers putting money into the local council where they are speeding, right? Also means money saved on maintaining camera vehicles and the police trained civilian staff can assist in other ways.
@@geoffreyking4515 they've had them set in the head of street lights over a bridge on the Wesser in Hameln Germany since the 80s...many a driver has been caught with that one...👍👍
Our council have put bus Lane cameras on lamps Also a builders van blocked the speed camera van so they put the camera to the front of the van car drivers could not see the camera van so did not slow down and lots more were caught speeding ads they passed The builder thought he was help helping the speeding motorist but helped the speed van to catch more
yes.. if this was not inside a residential area - i would not like to see the police sneaking around looking for an easy result.. but here is a place where a child could get run over..
Next week our hero of the highway has a family member who is hit and injured by a speeding motorist. He then has the audacity to complain that police aren't doing anything about it. If people didn't speed, they wouldn't have anything to worry about- would they?
Not exactly. If a peeler hears it, you could be prosecuted for it. Or, if a member of the public hears it and is offended and records it on a smartphone, which let's face it, everyone records everything these days, you could be prosecuted, if they complain.

Once designated, they have the same powers and duties as constables and the same protection from obstruction. Section 46(2) of the Police Reform Act 2002, again as amended in 2017, now makes it an offence to wilfully obstruct a designated person in the execution of their duty.

Cyclists in London cause more injuries to pedestrians than cars and don't have any insurance and in lots of cases no knowledge of the highway code so when are the authorities going to address this growing problem I suppose never because it don't generate fines.

That's is sort of true , but I try very hard all the time to drive bang on the limit but you can't be glued the Speedo .there's so much more important stuff to look out for .

Is that a lollipop man standing on the right outside school gates?
Dont speed and you won't get fined ,these vans save peoples lives
If your not speeding you have nothing to fear from them.
What are you doing coming on here with crazy logic like that 😂
@@chapmjx LOL when I am driving or riding, i never actually care the cameras at all because I always keep my speed within the limit. Why would you care about something that's not going to affect you but to actually make a safer space for everyone?
@@roadbiker8333 how does a speed camera make anything safer?
@@billjohnson3284 To keep the speed down. Not that difficult to understand huh?
20mph hitting someone and 60mph hitting someone. Which one do you think is less dangerous?
@@roadbiker8333 I think the answer is a bit more complicated than that but thanks for trying.
Well done
Is this allowed now. Had one try and tell me to move when I pulled over because my car was playing up
The operators are policing support staff with designated so you would be committing the offence of obstructing a designated person, in my experience tho if you go and knock on the van and let them know your car is having problems they don't usually mind!
There is no law which says you cannot park behind them, if legally parked like this guy is. If it blocks their view it's their problem, there is nothing they can do other than move to a new spot.
@@BlatentlyFakeName if by parking there you obstruct them, you are committing the offence of obstructing a designated person and that carries a maximum punishment of 51 weeks in prison, people have been prosecuted for it!
@@NoBody-gf8ie I thought it was perverting the course of justice, like flashing on coming traffic to warn drivers of a camera van.
I don't see how me slowing traffic is bad, it's what the vans are for. You know, "safety"
@@howardchambers9679 no obstructing a designated person is the offence for blocking them, while flashing your lights to warn someone may slow them down you may be slowing someone down that really needs to be caught, and unless you flash your lights to slow people down when there is no camera then your only really flashing to stop people being caught.......
On a side note they not only capture speeding offences but also people using their phones while driving and as its a continuously recorded video they can also flag up any dangerous and antisocial driving they witness and the footage is reviewed by the viewing team and action taken when necessary and also people not wearing their seat belts.
I’m so sorry you had a problem with the oil 😂😂😂😂
How's this for an idea? Scrap all mobile camera vans and every council in the UK puts up average speed cameras where needed. These of course will need to be funded by increasing the council tax but the fines generated can be injected back into the council. And there will be fines because the argument against camera vans is that they are just there to raise money so drivers must be speeding in the first place right? Might as well have drivers putting money into the local council where they are speeding, right? Also means money saved on maintaining camera vehicles and the police trained civilian staff can assist in other ways.
Oil check good lad 😅
What is Sean Bean doing in a police van?
Sounds like Craig David, bo selecta!
If a member of your family is hurt by a speeding driver on that road you will be to blame, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Dont be stupid enough to get infront of a moving vehicle then
One day, every Council Street Lamp will also monitor your speed. This is not an impossibility.
Don't give em any ideas
@@geoffreyking4515 they've had them set in the head of street lights over a bridge on the Wesser in Hameln Germany since the 80s...many a driver has been caught with that one...👍👍
@@geoffreyking4515 They dont need ideas they have already done it
Our council have put bus Lane cameras on lamps
Also a builders van blocked the speed camera van so they put the camera to the front of the van car drivers could not see the camera van so did not slow down and lots more were caught speeding ads they passed
The builder thought he was help helping the speeding motorist but helped the speed van to catch more
Technically you could of been fined for facing the wrong way.But good on you blocking a cash cow.
As a former emergency services member, speed kills!
yes.. if this was not inside a residential area - i would not like to see the police sneaking around looking for an easy result..
but here is a place where a child could get run over..
er bollocks
Sure but these guys only care about money for the government..hence why they fine ppl for no seat belt,
Plus half of them park illegally
Next week our hero of the highway has a family member who is hit and injured by a speeding motorist. He then has the audacity to complain that police aren't doing anything about it.
If people didn't speed, they wouldn't have anything to worry about- would they?
As a current one, ive seen things cos of speeding i wish i could un-see
Van just moves up the road a bit. Nay problem
Good man
We need them 👌
To do you for swearing, they need a complainant.
Not exactly. If a peeler hears it, you could be prosecuted for it. Or, if a member of the public hears it and is offended and records it on a smartphone, which let's face it, everyone records everything these days, you could be prosecuted, if they complain.
@@thepub245 It has to be someone other than a police officer.
I'm not allowed to park here !!! ??
You mean here , next to where youre parked... why is that ?
Police on operation have exemption on parking. So that's why.
@@roadbiker8333
Except speed cam operators are not policemen and have no powers , and the van isn't owned by the police .
@@nasapayrollsystem8701 Except when they were assigned for such specific duty, Any obstruction to them from exercising their duty is an offence which carries imprisonment.
the laws are detailed by another person, but here we go.
Section 38 Police Reform Act 2002
Powers of police civilian staff and police volunteers
The new Section 38 allows a Chief Constable to designate civilian camera operators as “policing support officers”
whilst performing their duties operating from within camera vans. Once designated, they have the same powers and
duties as constables and the same protection from obstruction. Section 46(2) of the Police Reform Act 2002, again as
amended in 2017, now makes it an offence to wilfully obstruct a designated person in the execution of their duty.
The maximum penalty is a term of 51 weeks imprisonment.
@@nasapayrollsystem8701 so they do have powers.
@@roadbiker8333
The point was about parking , not powers
Can remember in Holland? or Belgium you can stand in front of camera ...The police just leave ...nothing done or said?
Now then! Now then! It’s Jimmy Savile!
Top guy
Cyclists in London cause more injuries to pedestrians than cars and don't have any insurance and in lots of cases no knowledge of the highway code so when are the authorities going to address this growing problem I suppose never because it don't generate fines.
Boom 💥 💥 💥
Good job bro
Anyone fancy a ice cold beer!!!!
Not saying anything on to you but what if you lived on that road and your child got killed because of a speeding car, next thing there be speed clamp down, tbh i say let them do there job you could say you may have saved someones life.
Yes i have speeding ticket ! i believe if you want to speed and get caught then its only you to blame, Speed zones are there for a reason..
If you don't break the speed limit, you have no need to worry. If you break the speed limit, then you deserve what you get!
That's is sort of true , but I try very hard all the time to drive bang on the limit but you can't be glued the Speedo .there's so much more important stuff to look out for . Sometimes your speed may increase or decrease a bit here and there. Usually in places which require higher concentration levels . Not everybody who caught is doing deliberately .
Its not about that, they sneak into places where the speed limit suddenly or unexpectedly changes, its all about money just like everything else in this world
@@steveguest8028 the speed limit won't "suddenly change". If you didn't see the change, that's because you weren't paying attention
@@littledtraining5387 Load of rubbish its all about money nothing to do with road safety
@@steveguest8028 they do just suddenly appear!!!?
That's magic 😂
I've never seen one of these outside a school
What’s happening outside a school.
What an absolute prat
If no money involved how many would we see
The same number, as it’s the police who decide when and where they deployed yet they do not profit from it so they do not care about the money
they just to the next available spot they are stil there
Speed cameras exist for two reasons and two reasons only to extort money and to get people off the road pure and simple.
That is two very good reasons. People who speed should pay and shouldn't be driving on public roads.
@@jablot5054 you brainwashed individual you are clearly an imbecile I'm probably the member of some childish safety group run by tree hugging sandal wearing happy clappers many of which I have never held a driving licence you probably fit into the category easily influenced and clearly of very low intelligence the assistant is out to exploit us
Lucky the OP didn't get a ticket....
He's parked out of the bay.
Very well done! My brother in law done same other day, they said there not there to make money, 🤣 ye right
The police make no profit from speed enforcement.
@@CandyMan2001 all money from speeding fines goes to the treasury consolidated fund and that is public money used for public spending so we all benefit from it, the council don't decide when and where speed enforcement takes place that is only decided by the police, revenue is not the reason for speed enforcement it's just a by-product of it.
Top work 👏 👌 👍 these vans are causing daylight robbery 31mph in a 30 not fair at all
to be fair - if a child got run over by a speeding car outside where you live - you might see things differently..
He probably woudn't to be honest.
Maybe the answer is DONT SPEED .clowns .
Don't speed if you don't want a fine.
Cracking Job
Good work mate but can't they try do u from obstructing the police
Yes, but...
You're going to feel gutted when a speeding driver knocks down someone you know...
Doubt people he knows will be stupid enough to stand on a random main road
Its a straight wide open road, doubt theres any exraordinary safety issues here, just revenue generation
