.......have changed.
There has been a lot in the press about the changes to policing in Scotland since the unified Police Scotland was introduced with a strong Glaswegian influence throughout Scotland. this has not gone down well in many areas. There have been mutterings about all the "good" traffic cars being shifted to Strathclyde to be replaced by older stock.
Anyway, here in Fife we have no fixed speed cameras, but mobile camera vans and occasionally a marked traffic car and hiviz dressed police with a speed trap in a rural village. Today I commented to Mrs ON that I hadn't seen a camera van for weeks. A few minutes later I saw an unmarked police car in a layby on the opposite side of the dual carriageway I was on with a black uniformed policeman aiming a hand held speed camera over its roof from a point where he would not be seen by oncoming traffic. Things have definately changed.
