An excellent #Eurocrim23 panel based on the @INTERACTpolice project. Scottish researchers talked about digital policing and technologically-mediated contact between police and public. @AstonLiz @drmeganoneill @TheSIPR #Eurocrim2023

Today we presented findings from project work so far @esc_eurocrim #EuroCrim2023 inc police digital contact, interactions of autistic & deaf people w/ police & mobile devices & drones as policing tech @Will_Geog @AstonLiz @drmeganoneill @ben1971b @roadspolicing @EstelleMClayton

Really enjoyed working on this paper with the @INTERACTpolice team, a fascinating look at Single Online Home as one of the web-based portals used by UK public to interact with the police.

If you get chance, have a read of our paper from the #PACONDAA project out in @SocCultGeog. Bringing Rhizome to poverty geogs. great to work alongside @SVShubin & @tsowgat on this tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Fascinating new book on recent changes in police orgs, The Abstract Police, contains a thought-provoking chapter by members of the @INTERACTpolice team, covering, 'Virtual Policing’, Trust and Legitimacy. @roadspolicing @ben1971b @drmeganoneill @AstonLiz boomdenhaag.nl/en/webshop/the…

@RockinRicky1 @VolvoCarUK @jeanettegriggs The battery on an EV could power an entire house for around 5 days, so some twinkly lights make no effect whatsoever. We were getting around 200 ‘police miles’ of range - the way we drive is obviously different to a normal customer, so range will be less for us.

Great to see a recent blog post introducing one of the Postdoctoral Research Fellows on the INTERACT project, Estelle Clayton. We are excited to work with Estelle & she will play a key role in the project, engaging with police and publics across Scotland blogs.napier.ac.uk/enuapplyscienc…

@ShadyEuroFreak @ManMetUni Congratulations Jamie!!

Its my graduation day! 7 years in the making and time to close this chapter. Hoping that 2022 is my time to shine! 🤞🏻🎉👨‍🎓 #classof2021 #mcrmetgrad @ManMetUni

The plot thickens... interesting to see "classic car" specified here, defined on tax exempt status? Is there a future for modifying electric cars under these proposed rules? 2/2

Tackling tampering/ modification of road vehicles? Would be interesting to see a definition for "tampering" and to know how this would be implemented...also relies on definition of "legitimate improvement to vehicles" (see next tweet) 1/2

How is it that when in a hurry the printer will not scan my ID card, held up against the sensor...but today when I brushed past the printer, it successfully scanned my card from my pocket!?

One curse of short term contracts- books/post take a while to catch up to you. Grateful to colleagues at @BangorSNS forwarding this book onto me at @UCLan Can't wait to get stuck in but not sure when it was sent out! @helen_fwilson

Do Amazon vans travel in convoy now? Just passed 2 different 3 van convoys...at least they were electric vans...

@osianhe Might not be quite what you're after but this is great piece on Air B&B- surely a part of hotel geogs. doi.org/10.1080/146493…

Twitter hive mind: any cool #geography research on #hotels? #humangeography

Enjoyable @SCGRG_RGS AGM, with lots of ideas for future activities. Huge thanks to @Will_Geog for all the work he does as secretary - exemplary in a role that is hidden but vital! Here’s an example of Will’s research on enthusiasm, cars and labour: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@BenAndersonGeog @SCGRG_RGS Thanks Ben, thanks for your help as interim Chair, glad everything went smoothly!

The year of the staycation?

@jeckythump I think these days I'd be less surprised to see a H van than a Transit!

@Will_Geog I haven't yet seen a Citroën H-van converted so... 😉

Did not expect to see a '91 Transit ice cream van (with a queue!) on my chilly March walk 😂 are #classicicecreamvans a thing?!
