I'm sorry. I've got to admit. That made me snigger literally.

I think it's entirely plausible that they mobilised that many officers. What better way to discourage people from trying it in the future than to show you'll use completely overwhelming force to track you down.

That and it's not like they're doing much anyway. Every day I travel to work down Emirates Road, there's a cop sat in his Xterra catching speeders on the bridge to MotorCity.

I know that cop. He goes to the mosque in the ranches on a Friday and was first on the scene to book me for speeding when I rolled the Pajero.

he done it, innit

7 days reported that the fuzz found this picture on his camera phone. 7 Days had the decency to blurr out his mug though.
