1624346891705110528 | @NorthantsChief Spot on Chief, we, the public, can recover from burglary, theft, damage, we cannot recover from the 1,700 road deaths per year by incompetent/speeding/drunk/drugged/phone-using drivers. You need a big push on encouraging the public to report online. https://t.co/ueTJokaSpn | 3 |
1624365898491469824 | @UsedCarHead @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT They were only required to be yellow because they were called safety cameras not speed cameras at first & so just like other safety things it needed to be highly visible. If you're a law abiding citizens stuff like this yellow or grey shouldn't be an issue. | 1 |
1624740244716236800 | @StDocErrors @NorthantsChief I would love to enable safer roads in Northamptonshire Nick. Despite heroic efforts in @NorthantsPolice & @WestNorthants Road deaths & KSI’s continue to increase to 2x the national average A designed collaboration involving all key partners WOULD improve our highways! Meet? 🙏 | 1 |

1624362975095058432 | @NorthantsChief The fuss a lot of people make about speed cameras/vans not being highly visible and saying they are being ‘tricked’ just goes to show how they have absolutely no intention of obeying the rules of the road unless forced to. | 1 |
1624459051726675971 | @Judgie74 @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT Don't speed = no problem simples! 👍 | 0 |
1624478732101599235 | @NorthantsPolice @NorthantsChief can someone please tell me why there’s suddenly a presence of PCSO’s on Ecton Brook? Never normally see any but the last 2-3 days there’s been a few? | 0 |
1624467318720831489 | @murf5573 @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT Good point, I think the difference is that the cameras are seen as just raising revenue when unmarked, whereas an unmarked patrol is not seen as such. | 0 |
1624466793820553218 | @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT Thanks to all those responding with the advice not to speed, please reread my tweet, I’m not disagreeing with deterrence and enforcement just the methodology. Quite why that draws personal attacks I’m not too sure but there you go twitter is a lovely place. | 0 |
1624465431971958786 | @NorthantsChief Thanks for responding, though I think you’re making my point, the need is to deter and educate, having a visible presence must be a more effective method than being unseen. | 0 |

1624366008159858689 | @NorthantsChief Be even better if we had more unmarked traffic cops on the road. We’ve surrendered our road network to the criminals and people who shouldn’t be driving/riding. | 12 |
1624363769710116867 | @UsedCarHead @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT So everyone gets a heads up to slam on the brakes for a few yards but then to carry on at their normal breakneck speed? I actually think it would have more effect on overall speeding if drivers thought they could get caught out at any given opportunity? | 9 |
1625103333693304832 | @NorthantsChief Quite agree! There is a place for High Visibility patrols, however there needs to an element of uncertainty around Police presents to discourage unsafe use of the road network. | 9 |

1624351586313990145 | @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT We’d reached a settled ‘policing by consent’ position with clearly identified speed cameras, I haven’t seen a burnt out one for years. Battleship grey vans break that position and are seen as underhand and dishonest, the last thing the police need right now. #paintityellow | 8 |
1624358913058525189 | @NorthantsChief Thank you for your reply and I fully agree with your comments. The concern here though is the position the unmarked speed camera van is parked in. On a grass verge at the side of a duel carriageway. As a retired officer I feel it’s not safe where it is. | 7 |
1624367500669378561 | @UsedCarHead @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT Would you consider a plain clothed officer or an unmarked vehicle that pulled over a vehicle underhand and dishonest? I saw this van a few weeks ago in Northampton but it didn’t bother me because I was driving within the limit. | 7 |
1624361475966902272 | @whosthedaddy60 @NorthantsChief It’s off the road on hard standing (if you look closely). What’s not safe? | 6 |
