Just seen the SAS?

With the increase in congestion you get more & more standard V.I.P.'s getting such treatment. More & likely a few visiting Diplomats & there cronies.

The blokes in the card didn't look like diplomats or VIPs tho, just casually dressed, nothing special about their appearances, the cars wern't especially flash tho - surely VIPs would have black Mercs or summat rather than grey Audi A4s... tho the one hiding his face (arm up, head down) looked like he spent a lot of time in the gym...

None of them were paying any attention to everything going on around them tho - all looking forward or down, ignoring everything else.
 
I reckon they heard the local Argos store was getting some more Wii's in stock and they wanted to get them first.

On a more serious note, maybe they were not SAS, I wouldn't imagine making themselves so obvious a target to anyone trying to ambush them.

Maybe some other kind of MOD folk.
 
Ive met several members of the SAS and they drive around in as normal a car as you can imagine, the one chap i was speaking to drove a Ford Focus :)

Just left the tube this morning (Moorgate) and was wandering down to work, about to cross the road, when a police motorcyclist went through the red light and stopped. He stopped the traffic going both ways, and started telling pedestrians to not cross the road.

You know that really pee's me off. Also had this with unmarked police cars that think that they can do what they want and completely ignore anybodys safety or the highway code. Dont care if they were SAS or Condoleezza Rice, obey the laws of the road otherwise go by bloody helicopter or something. :mad:

Suspects are bought in police vans straight from prison. Jurors, if they're needing protection, would be in a large police van (bit like a police horse-box). Both of which are very obviously police vehicles.

I'm going to guess that this was some official of some kind. Maybe olympic officials on a progress trip or something like that..

Nah... they wasn't the usual 'suits' in the cars... and the cars really wern't anything special, which if they were 'officials' of some kind I'd expect them to be in.

/edit 100 posts! yay me...
 
last time i seen similar it was the presidente of ukraine coming out the ritz , was 3 fancy stretched cars , 6 police motorbikes , load of coppers blocking off the street for when they left and a shedload of people pacing up and down the street who where the most blatant "undercover" armed police ever
 
Considering the cars drove past you and didn't stop, you seem to have somehow sussed out all the occupants very accurately.

As has been said, it was probably someone on their way to the court. Stopping at red lights and in traffic can be a considerable security risk, hence the police escort.

If they're carrying precious cargo, or are on their way to some kind of emergency, I'd say they have every right to expect other people to hold on for a moment while they rush through.
 
Surely if it was the SAS they'd have opted for the blacked out 'limo' windows to negate the option of hiding their faces from the public! Probably nothing more exciting than SO19, or some other government based security force, escorting someone/something and needing to get theire damn quick or with the least amount of congestion.
