Piece on the beeb evening news for Wales. Looks like they might be getting the boot but one of the figures they trotted out was 500+ mobile scamera's yikes Didn't know we had that many.

Anyhow, looks like the gas and air shop down the bay can do some good.

Think it was on National & Wales news. The cop that was interviewed was on both as he is the top traffic cop (or something like that!) I was surprised by the 500+ camera vans even for England & Wales.

Not sure if he is the top traffic officer however, he is head of Gwent and on the panel of ACPO which is the Association of Chief Poliice Officers.

Been looking through the survey they mention. The survey that the beeb claims (through reporting without question) says we the motoring public accept camera's.

Sample sizes for the regions (4) in Wales appear to be in the order of 500 people? Wish reporters would some leg work.
