TomToom Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Anyone know why there was a whole sty of police people stopping traffic headed towards town opposite Hillsborough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorSHarp Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I sawa them, usually the stops at the bottom of halifax road are for HGV's and they take them into hillfoots yard to be inspected for road worthyness and other MOT regulations.. PS Your post would have been responded to aswell if you hadn't of refered to a gathering of traffic officers as 'a sty'.....just for future reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burncross_82 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 when we went passed at about 8:50, there were 3 cars pulled in to the car park accross from swfc. the police officers had the drivers out of the cars and were talkin to them. They were all old looking cars too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Uppers Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If you go past now there's loads of cars which they've kept & put big red lettered signs across the windscreens. I've been past 3 times today but touch wood not been stopped. (now i've said that they'll probably get me on my way home from work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomToom Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 They had CHiPs pulling people on the other side too - again, relatively old cars Sounds like Operation Budget Justification. Just read on the beeb that there is a month long initiative to keep drug dealers and other crims off the roads. Looks like the sledgehammer is getting used as opposed to the toothpick.

Fingers Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 TomToom, is there any particular reason why you are taking an interest in the operational tactics of the police and you are talking like the stereotypical toerag characters in Brookside?

TomToom Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes, the reason I have an interest in this is that I travel down that road regularly and I wanted to know whether it is likely to be a repetative exercise.

Perhaps in future the police should advertise where and when they are going to carry out operations so people who for whatever reason don't want to be in that particular area at that time can avoid it. Do you like that idea? Before you answer bear in mind that you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned something which you later rely on in court...
