Police van with four cameras

This police van is among the first in Britain to be equipped with four cameras, allowing it to capture speeding drivers travelling in any direction.

Bedfordshire Police are operating the new "Command Vans" with cameras at the front, sides and back, rather than just at the rear as with traditional speed vans.

The four vans, which were converted at a cost of �28,000 each, allow a single operator to monitor traffic from all angles at once.

Traditional vans could capture speeding cars but struggle to identify drivers who contested tickets and motorbikes which do not have front number plates.

But the new vehicles can register a speeding vehicle as it approaches up to a kilometre away and then record front, rear and side images as it passes to ensure identification.

An officer sits in the back manning a laser gun and monitors feeds from the extra cameras high on each side panel, dashboard and rear. But motoring organisations slammed the force for wasting public money on creating even more lucrative speed camera ''cash cows''.

Maybe they should paint it with black and white splodges. Smile

I like that it has an orange light on the top, so when they "forget" to open the rear doors you wont see the camera pictures and you'll think its a work van as you drive past it at 60 on a restricted section of dual carriageway!
