A situation that could raise so much money for the government if we 
actually had sufficient numbers of traffic type police.

As the number plates are all typically illegal, and can result in £60 3 
pts for starters.  Also the tinting also often doesnt meet the law 
regarding how much light it lets in so we can have another £60 3pts. 

Then to top all that off, as discovered by friends who are police 
officers, quite often stopping said vehicles can be particularly 
profitable in finding criminals, illegal imigrants and all manner of 
other desirable things for them.  Including one of my mates, who stopped 
someone for not wearing his seat belt, and found out on checking details 
that the gentlemen was wanted for murder.
