Congrats on them dropping the case. Imagine if you had paid up already and taken the points. It would appear your actions of wanting to defend yourself in court made them re-examine the evidence and realised they had a weak case against you. From a spectators point of view I wish the case had gone ahead to see what happened. It's a pity there are cops out there willing to waste our time and in many cases use the fear of bigger fines/points to make people admitt the offence before it goes to court. I hope your story inspires people to fight if they have been wrongly accused.

What else do you expect? A cop is just a person doing a job it's not some holy grail. Like every other profession there are people who do a good job and people who do a **** job. I've never understood why the police force gets put on a pedestal, and paraded as some sort of higher lifeform. As to your point about the fear of higher fines and penalties they are there because fixed penalties are first and foremost revenue raising schemes and as such rely on people paying them promptly and without fuss or questioning (something the british are very good at.) If everyone contested em the system would fail, and the cost of administering the objections would outstrip the revenue raised. So they apply a punitive defence system, whereby the whole system is setup to thwart & punish anyone who tried to exercise their legal right to a fair trial. Take the practise of impounding a car if an officer has "reason to believe" that there is no insurance on your car. He can order it to be impounded until YOU provide proof of your innocence. Now this could be very expensive for the police if they start impounding loads of cars where it later turns out that there was insurance in place. So they've change the law. So that now basically it says whether your innocent or guilty of having no insurance. You are required to bear the costs of any police action taken against you, and the cost of storing the vehicle until such time as you can afford to pay to retrieve your car. There endeth the principle of innocent until proven guilty.

There is one very big difference, Pikey - The Police are in a position of both Power and TRUST. It is when they abuse that power that the public are affronted and, quite rightly, gets ****ed orf. If almost anyone outside of the armed forces or Public sector dont do their job propper, it aint of great significance - it is when we, the public, give them power!

Agree

What Redhand had said in every trade, profession, and racial differences there is always a few that would do a very good job, and there are some who dont. Unfortunately we always hear of the bad experiences than the good ones that we should hear of.

But thats my point we imbue them with some sort of godlike power when they are absolutely no different from you or I. It's time we stopped doing this and starting treating them for what they are normal people doing an ordinary job, and it's time they be came accountable for their failings and fook up's if a private security firm caught someone breaking into a building and beat them half to death and then left em on the floor and did absolutely nothing till they died and then conspired to hide video evidence afterward. Someone would go to prison. when the police do it, there's a private investigation and a few slapped wrists and that's the end of it. If you shot someone who was carrying a table leg wrapped up in a plastic bag, because you "thought" it was a gun, even though the person never made any move to pretend to shoot you. You would be in the ****, But when a police officer does it, nothing is done about it. I can't think of 1 single occasion where someones death has been caused by a police officer or officers and it has resulted in a murder or manslaughter trial. It's time they were held as accountable as everyone else.
 
it just so happen's pikey mate that five weeks ago there was such a incident happen..

a police pursuit car was chasing a stolen car, the driver of the stolen car lost control and went into a school fence(luckly it was late in the evening)..

the joyrider/thife climbed out of the passenger door(the driver's was buried in the fence)..and tried to make a run for it..

at this point the police car swerved toward's the lad and ran over him traping him under the front passanger wheel/sill area(ok the little bastid deserve's all he get's)..

however after the emergency service's(ambulence and fire brigade) and rescued the lad they did a mark and investigate of the scene...

the story by witness's was the above however the official release to the local press is that he jumped before the car stopped and they could do nothing to avoid him...strange as we watched them actually mow him down...

which if it had been me or any of you that did this we would be on a attempted murder with a deadly weapon charge!

as said above the little fooker deserved everything he got thou as it could have been someone else's life that was ruined on that evening.

Yella I have been caught before red handed and yeap I have stumped to it and got my fair share.

To be honest with you if you were here and stranded I dont think you wouldnt have been far off risking trying to get home.

You cant tell me that you have never done anything that may be againts the law. That got away with.

For e.g Your tax might have run out on the 31 and you were driving your car on the first to get your tax, now how would you feel when you have your tax and the poilice stopped you and said you were driving that without tax before you got your new one. what would you say !

In my mind the laws is on both side and for both to explore it !!
