Pulled at the Carnival - legal advice needed

Sounds like a nightmare over there, the police here in Northern Ireland are a bit more sensible on these things like plates and exhausts so unless you really take the **** they leave you alone. That said if your acting the clart they will throw the book at you!

anyway as far as i'm aware being an anally retentive bunch the paperwork submitted by police has to be 100% perfect of its completely void. Its one of the first things a good lawyer looks for when they are trying to get someone off the hook!

best advice is to call a local lawyer / solicitor and see if they can give you a steer on it but i think your luck could be in.. .

Sally and I were told exactly this on Sunday. The copper said that just because it got through an MOT it doesn't mean that it's legal.

There wasnt one we were stopping large gangs from travelling to the carnival in order to rob, steal and or fight.

Pay the fine and take it on the chin.

Do you really think your missus "making waves" will help matters? I doubt it very much.

Its only £30 and to be fair if you had a legal plate you would not have been ticketed.

That bit about it being a fraudulent offence to register your bike in Suffolk, run that one past me again...
