I think now due to the British transport police now carrying pdas which allow them to check the address and details of a person they stop straight away that people are being picked up for various warrents etc.

Please make yourself clear on what exactly you hear is happening as my wife worries when she hears these type of rumours flying about (even though she has no reason to worry).

Hi AndyPaul.For sure i know there have been checks at these locations.hounslow,Oval,fulham broadway,ladbroke grove,fenchurch st.Probably others but i have no proof.These are immigration officers.They have laptops and can check a name very quickly to see when they entered the U.k and when they should have left.There were a few small articles in the papers at the end of last year that immigration would carry out spot checks.The reason it wasnt on the front pages is probably the lower profile they keep the more success they would have.For sure if they had the same manpower for immigration as the do for parking they would catch everyone!!But thats another subject.
