Violators of Speed Decided to Catch Using a Mobile Toilet

The Dutch police prefer to catch drivers who exceed the speed limit in quite unusual but effective ways. For this, they hide speed control cameras out of sight of motorists: previously, the corresponding equipment was installed in trash bins and on billboards, and now their ingenuity has gone even further – recently Dutch police have started using a mobile toilet, which houses the equipment for automatic recording of violations!

In particular, the police use an inconspicuous VW Caddy van, to which a trailer with a portable toilet is attached. But in reality, the toilet is not real – it hides a speed control camera that is almost impossible to spot. The disguise is enhanced by the attire of the officers themselves: instead of uniforms, they wear regular clothes with orange vests, like those of road workers.

Dutch media report that the pseudo-toilet was first spotted on the roads a year ago, and just recently it was seen on a highway near the city of Maarssen. Moreover, this unusual innovation has already proven its effectiveness: previously, the toilet-camera was also noticed in the city of Almere, where it helped catch as many as 59 speed enthusiasts.
