Hi folks, Saw these folks on my travels during the week, thought ye might be interested. Speed trap for boats! And yes, they are laughing at me taking their photo :D Ambulance going like a bat outta hell on the Grand Canal. Bulletproof or anti-stab vests I wonder? They looked to be gearing up for a bit of action either…
