    This #motorcycle was on a "cloned plate" & failed to stop in the past. Rider spotted in #southampton & decided to take his chances & began to make off. To prevent any risk to public & the rider we used minimal & proportionate force to stop him. Multiple offences dealt with #27312

    A car was stopped tonight on Laburnum Grove due to excessively tinted windows. When the male driver was told to remove the tint, his reaction was to get an axe out of the boot and wave it at Police officers. One in custody for possession of an offensive weapon and public order.

    Just one example of some poor driving witnessed earlier this evening on the M27 at Jct 8 by one of our unmarked vehicles. This vehicle was stopped and the driver reported for driving without due care & attention. #25356

    Spare a thought for this poor soul stopped in Wickham today. Apparently it is impossible to fit a number plate to the front of his Lambo and worse it will obstruct the oil cooler! No. plates are about accountability for how you drive and this applies to all. Ticket+DVLA report

    Vehicle reported to Police early this morning driving on a wheel rim and up and down kerbs. On seeing Police the vehicle tried to make off and presented a danger to the public. Tactical contact made and driver detained after use of a Taser. #23701 #brelief #itsnotworththerisk

    Multiple calls to a cyclist on the M27 near Cadnam. Male located, however he refused details & wanted to argue the law regarding pedal cycles use of the motorway. We won't mess around in such a perilous location so the male was swiftly #arrested 25620 27964

    Only a very short clip but the driver of this Astra decided that they had not done anything wrong & contested this case of Careless Driving. The courts disagreed & imposed a fine & costs of over a thousand pounds. £1,104.00 3 Penalty Points on License #HantsSNAP @HantsPCC

    Earlier today we had a vehicle which failed to stop for us in Southampton. We were thankful for the assistance from NPAS (National Police Air Service) who attended from Bournemouth to help with the search for the vehicle..... 1 of 4

    These poor drivers are stranded on the hard shoulder M25. They overheated in the stationary traffic due to the unlawful JSO protest. They are now in danger from the fast traffic as are many others. This is why motorways are not a safe place to protest. #JOUCVU

    This stag was captured by our Safety Camera Van in the New Forest whilst carrying out enforcement in the Beaulieu area. Shows why it is so important to keep your speed down & be prepared for the unexpected. We know he's not a reindeer, but perhaps he looking to help Santa! #1656

    Thanks to @Tesla for an 'electrifying' few days in 'charge' of their demo car at Totton. With a few tweaks, it could be the way forward. Thanks to the public for really ➕ engagement, hardly any ➖ 👍 Struggling for more battery related puns so over to our followers @HantsPolice

    Our camera vans are designed to be seen. You must be distracted if you get caught by one of these! Not only do they monitor speed they also record anyone using a mobile phone. Make sure it's not you. Put the phone down and keep your eyes on the road! 👍 #ItsNotWorthTheRisk

    Well we’ve had some interesting debris jobs reported on the motorway in the past......but never an inflatable killer whale 🐳 in lane 2!!!! So if you’re missing one from Fareham M27 “Kevin” the killer whale is now safe and sound at Havant Police Station #23754

    This HGV was reported to be driving poorly on the M3 near Winchester earlier. The driver was stopped and provided a roadside breath test 3.5x the legal limit! He's now going to custody instead of his planned destination on the continent. #terrifying
