This was sent out by a friends facilities office and thought I would post this up as on Monday just gone I had noticed similar cars over one of the crossovers on the M3. Did not know what they were doing but do now...

 

If you use the M27 or the M3 this potentially affects you so please proceed

with caution and pass onto anyone who you feel might just need to know. The program a BBC South commission called "Traffic Cops" will be filmed covering the area from Ringwood concentrating on Ringwood M27 up to M3 J9 and a team working the ring road around Southampton (Totton will have a unit working it alone), Cosham M27 stretch to J5 of the M27 (Southampton Airport turn-off). The fourth concentration is working from Winchester services covering M3 to J10 M3 (Winchester South) using five unmarked cars, two Black Skoda 03 registration Octavia's, an 05 plate dark red Mondeo and two Volvo saloon cars.

 

The BBC unit are going to be based out of a unit in Millbrook Road in Southampton and will also be covering the armed police response unit and the Southampton Airport Police Security / British Transport Police team. The BBC team are in Citroen Picasso MPVs leased from Arriva.

 

To make it even more effective the Traffic police have authority from Chief Constable to "work to rule" So instead of the laid back approach to the usual

Hants traffic police this will be a lot more concentrated to make it effective filming.

 

Please bear this in mind if you travel over these routes :Pling:
