grandad1 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I am trying to pick the brains of any legal eagles. I was caught speeding in the early hours of the morning I was the only vehicle on the road (a dual carraigeway) I spotted this car catching me up very fast and the slowed down about 200yards behind. After following for a while he put his flashing lights on and pulled he over. My question is, Can an un-marked police car pursue another vehicle at in excess of the speed limit without having flashing blue light on to warn other vehicles of his approach. Thanks Grandad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabarius Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Yes they can, a copper can break the limit if they are on police business, that technically means that if they needed to be somewhere in a hurry they could speed in their own civillian cars as well, but as I said it'd have to be a police matter.

Mason Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes they can. That is one way that they can "clock" your speed. If they have a video camera, they can actually see their speed and judge by their speed what your speed is. there for it's legal. sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwarrior Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yea the only thing is when they actually go to pull you over they have to have lights and sirens going. Generally if you have headlights come out of nowhere fast its a cop, slow down and try to avoid hitting the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
