rogerbodger Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ok, these are driving me mad and want to know what they are!! Recently i have seen portable camera's being put up in various areas around by where i live. They normally only stay a day or 2. They are normally tied to lamposts, and they are like go pro camera's or ones like that. there on small metal poles and have a box on the bottom. Most are on islands and point to the junction's coming up to islands. There bugging me what they are, im wondering if there DVLA camrea's??? Does anyone know what these are please!!!!!!!

legolamb Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah traffic monitoring, they fitted some on a lane I use to get home from work as it's turned into a real rat run, hopefully it'll mean they do something to improve it as lorries are wrecking it now.

georgedawes Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Traffic flow cams. They are always on the M6 and M62 by us. You will normally see a van nearby as well. Never makes a f**k of difference though. Its always blocked up :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerbodger Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 It's big brother there watching you dude , best get the tin foil hat on .lol Already done that - and wrapped the inside of the car!!! I did think it was something of the sort, as it was always coming up to or on islands.... Thought either them or DVLA checking for tax etc. Cant go no where these days without being on CCTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GastonJ Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 If you were to crash constantly into other people's cars, or have your car broken into, or a crime committed against you then you wouldn't be on cctv at all. Even though we have more cctv than any other country; no-ne ever gets identified by cctv, if someone hits your car the cctv can never show the registration. So what use is it other than to scare people into conforming? I certainly don't think that cctv exists to keep us any safer and crime figures are going up, not down.
