For all Hampshire drivers... BEWARE

This was posted on my horset forum....

I received from a friend a tip off about some filming that Hants Police
are doing for a television programme series from tomorrow (26th
September) for seven weeks.

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 ringroad 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 Octavias, an 05 plate
dark red Mondeo and two Volvo saloon cars.

The BBC unit are going to be based out of 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.

That programme has been done before, this must be a new series they are filming. You can see the current programme on Men and Motors. I often see a few of the coppers that have been in the programme drive past me on the Motorway.

I've got the Isle of wight next week, so I will keep my eyes peeled. Don't want plod seeing me go down the M3 "coasting" my Artic down the steep hills, don't think they would be amused. As much as I'd love a bit of fame, not worth 3pts on licence.

Ah, so it is quite possibly a forum for the owners of small gazebos - are you a member of this, then, Chillitt?

THe possibility of a forum for the sufferers of boils in Northumberland is one I would rather not consider this close to lunchtime

The girl who posted it on the horse forum works for the TV company so I think she's probably got it right.

I can back this info up, I live in Portsmouth and my work chums and I travel these roads a lot for work. A lot of police stops on these roads have been along with film crew(s) and not just the Police.
