Re: Anyone just see Traffic cops? SMIDSY perp let off with joke and a laugh
That bloke was not RNPTI, they don’t work shifts or nights, as he said he did. The reason he did not get his car crushed was probably because it was smashed up by the bike and written off anyway.
The insurance thing does bring me onto something. I have noticed in these programmes that they just rely on the PNC to check details now. Now my issue with this is that if there are no ins details showing rather than in the good old days give you a producer they just assume you are guilty and do you for it there and then and have the right to seize the car.
If you had for example (and quite plausible) just got the car and insured it as of 0900 and get tugged at 0910 then there is no way on earth that you will either have your certificate through yet or it will be showing on the insurers database or the PNC , on top of that just because the PNC does not show any ins details does not mean they are not insured!!
Ergo a 100% legitimate driver could get some c**k of a traffic cop (and lets face it most are) and have his car seized illegally. Now my question would be to the police as I know I am insured are you going to put your name down as the person my lawyer Sue’s the f**k out of to recover the illegally incurred costs?? Or would you get a refund and apology from the cops?
I am sure that we are in the UK and as such innocent until proven guilty, correct me if I am wrong.
I have pay monthly from ebike and I have always wondered if they update the insurance data base monthly or just put it on once and then remove details if I stopped the policy?
If I was threatened with that and I knew I was 100% legal (which I am) I would just calmly get back in my car and inform the cop that I am now driving off, they can follow me home and then I will get out my ins cert. I know they would do me for failing to stop, but go to court with a lawyer and make them look like cu*t’s for trying to do me for something I was not guilty of , oh and when I got let off then recover the costs from the force!! All for the sake of not giving a simple producer.
I know some smart **** will say well just carry your ins cert, do you? no doubt it either. Its more a stand for the cops not assuming the worst and doing things they have no right to do.
As my mrs is a copper she gets well wound up with me saying I would just drive off and bring them home!! LOL
