"'Stasi spies' on the motorways: Big Brother fears as motorists are urged to inform on each other"

[Bman]

It seems to me, thats what most of us are already doing. Reporting and Youtubing bad cases of driving.

Sad that it seems the general public (or is it just just DM readers?) dare to compare this to anything "Stasi"

That link doesn't take me to the story. All I can see is a vast number of Daily Mail headlines - they are bizarre.

There's nothing new about this; up here in Lancs for five years the Police have been encouraging our residents' action group to use the non-emergency number to report people racing through our street to beat the lights on the main road. They haven't publicised it but they have certainly encouraged us. We have dealt with an habitual speeder living in an adjoining street and he doesn't speed any more.

Sorry, I messed up the link and I cant edit it now. If the mods could do it, it may help?

And yes, the DM headlines are bizarre!

So if I see a bad driver I should ignore it because if I report it that would be like East Germany. Presumably the Mail would apply the same logic to any crime I saw taking place: my neighbour being assaulted; illegal immigrants and so on? No, of course not, the DM is simply pandering to the prejudices of its rather dim readership. What's new?

Hypocracy

How is it they (DM) can write an article about Stasi/Big Brother surveilance and 'shopping' motorists, and also write an article slamming someone for trying to get off a speeding fine?

Ah - the SafeSpeed "Avoid" page advice arises yet again!

It's so tempting I almost want to read it but I might feel grubby reading the DM
