The Police claim they only catch you speeding for road safety, but then the Police claim all sorts of things that aren't necessarily true. Often they even contradict themselves and thus expose the bullshit they are spouting.
For example, it 's generally accepted that prevention is better than a cure. A visible Police presence deters speeders, a hidden camera doesn't. (But it generates revenue) The other day I passed a camera in a van and on the side it said Police safety Camera or some-such twaddle If safety is the main aim (and not revenue collection) as stated on the van, and prevention is better than cure I felt it my public duty to flash all oncoming vehicles to make them slow down - thus preventing potential speeders having an accident.
You'd think the Police would be happy with that wouldn't you? And if we followed the Police's logic and we all did the same then the roads would be much safer place wouldn't they? Funny how it's an offence to do so then isn't it? But of course offences - even 'safety' minded ones all generate revenue!
