From the Sun
A TRAFFIC cop sped at an incredible 159mph — and was caught by the camera equipment in his car, a court heard yesterday.
PC Mark Milton, 38, wanted to see how fast the souped-up police Vauxhall Vectra could go, magistrates were told.
He took out the newly-commissioned unmarked motor in the early hours — and allegedly ended up breaking every speed limit in the book during a hair-raising 90-minute ride.
He was said to have done 60mph in a 30mph zone, and over 100mph in a 60mph zone. But he really put his foot down on the M54 near his station in Telford, Shrops, the court was told.
It was claimed that he averaged a speed of 148mph — and at one point hit 159mph.
He ended up being accused after colleagues checked the hi-tech equipment in the car.
A “black box” computer and camera on board was said to have clocked his speed.

What a fuckin wanker, bet he gives people the "if my son had been going to the shops and you knocked him down" at 35mph speach.
He should be sacked from the police force and never allowed back, no more bent coppers if we are ever to have a decent police force!
Oh and specs/pics of said vectra

Thats one reason to go for the job.
The black box stuff is in more and more cars now. I heard a tale that one guy got phoned up asking if he required assistance as he was speeding about the place, he rather embarrasingly had to say no I'm just ragging someone elses car for no reason.
