Interesting...I was with a colleague of mine recently, driving down to our office in Orleans...pulled in for some juice and ran smack bang into a police check. After opening the boot, they found his Road Angel which was NOT being used because of the problems we had heard about. Not only did they confiscate it on the spot, but we also had to find 250 Euros....b*******
Protests fell on deaf ears...asking for their formal ID also didn't wash...in the end we took their car number and wrote to complain....still waiting for an explanation.
I wonder what the reaction would be to my PDA with 'hidden' camera information....'This is my Sat nav 'Oficer' to get me to Orleans in the shortest distance'...or would they demand to pore over it to check out the POIs ?? I wonder ?
