Beware those on the M3 and M27 POLICE

Recommended Posts

A copy of an internal Emither my bro recieved

 

I know a lot of you use the M27/M3 so this might be of interest to you,

don't want to see anyone on the next series of Traffic cops!

 

Hants Police are doing some filming from yesterday (26th September) for

seven weeks for a television programme series.

 

If you use the M27 or the M3 this potentially affects you so please proceed

with caution and pass onto anyone who you feel might just need to know. The

program a BBC South commission called "Traffic Cops" will be filmed covering

the area from Ringwood concentrating on Ringwood M27 up to M3 J9 and a team

working the ring road around Southampton (Totton will have a unit working it

alone), Cosham

M27 stretch to J5 of the M27 (Southampton Airport turn-off). The fourth

concentration is working from Winchester Services covering M3 to J10 M3

(Winchester South) using five unmarked cars, two Black Skoda 03 registration

Octavia's, an 05 plate dark red Mondeo and two Volvo saloon cars.

 

The BBC unit are going to be based out of a unit in Millbrook Road in

Southampton and will also be covering the armed police response unit and the

Southampton Airport Police Security / British Transport Police team. The BBC

team are in Citreon Picasso MPVs leased from Arriva.

 

To make it even more effective the Traffic police have authority from Chief

Constable to "work to rule" So instead of the laid back approach to the

usual Hants traffic police this will be a lot more concentrated to make it

effective filming.

 

Please bear this in mind if you travel over these routes
