Years ago at a base in Germany, the Commanding Officer himself said that he wanted something done about speeding motorists going along 'his roads' ... So plods were sent out for days and weeks, stopped 'speeding motorists' and advised them of their short comings, but same names were soon identified as repeat offenders, nobody took any notice of the advice / warnings given.. CO got mad and ordered something else be done to stop the offenders. Therefore 'speed measuring machines' were borrowed from the Army RMP for a couple of weeks.. Evidence was thus obtained against offenders, charges made, fines handed down at subordinate commanders hearings, and the commissioned 'lot' were awarded 'monetary penal deductions'...

Road safety improved... The Commanding Officer was dead chuffed.... Plods had done their job as directed, but took a lot of flak from all and sundry..

No win situation..

If the airforce hired people who were capable of self disipline there would be no problems.
