Well guys, it doesnt look good. Those of you who cruise southend will have noticed police cracking down on cruisers. they have now sectioned off an area of parking which they are using to pull cars in to inspect and by the looks of tonight, they were very ticket happy. Anyone cruising down there in future, be careful as they seem to be out in force and have blocked most of the u turn places down by the casino.

but then you only get a ticket if there is something illegal on your car therefore you cannot complain.

This is true vibs, cant disagree with that. i think its mainly tints they were checking, but they had a van full of equipment with them and at least 7 speed cameras on a127 that i counted.

Been like it for ages, noting unusual !
Southend police are actually being light on boy racers due to a big issue recently 
BUT
They wont be light on illegal window tints and they are getting just as strict on this as they are talking on a mobile whilst driving !
