Hi two days on the trot I have seen a police camera van parked on double yellow lines trying to catch drivers using the bus lane.
Surely this can't be legal!

If parking has been decriminalised ask your local council!

When gathering evidence of crime they can park how they like.0

You are right using the bus lane when not exempt is not legal.0 -

Well if it hasn't I wouldn't report to the police as they have more pressing complaints to deal with and to me this is a bit petty. ~Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.~:)

Once saw a speed camera van doing 60+ in the very 50 zone it had previously been watching. Bare in mind they're not the Police and have to obey the law, I overtook him at the next roundabout and then sat there blocking the f**ker in lane 2 “I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Where exactly is this stated in the Road traffic act, the Road Traffic Regulation Act or the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions act? because all I could find was information stating that stopping on a solid double yellow line was prohibited, and no mention it being permitted for "evidence gathering"
Even if it is the case, when they first park, how can they be collecting evidence of a crime when that crime hasn't yet occurred?0 -

Not me, but the folks who joined in and boxed him in, I think they had fun “I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Makes no difference if I'm right or wrong, no difference to the veracity of the evidence acquired.0
