Posted: 09:42 - 25 Feb 2018 Post subject: MP realises that stolen recovery fees are unjust |

Bennetts, as usual.
Showboating in Parliament:
How would the Prime Minister feel if someone pinched her car and it then cost her £200 to get it back? That is what is happening to hundreds of people. Why does she not allow the police to use proceeds of crime returns to recover legitimate costs and put an end to this state-sponsored secondary mugging of innocent victims?
Sadly, Hansard voting records online only go back to 2010, so we can't see whether McCabe voted Aye, Ye Will So or Gonnae No on the Traffic Management Act 2004 which passed while he was an MP.

Probably won't go anywhere, but at least - at the very least - the issue has been raised. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I raised this exact thing with my MP years back and the reply was "Well you're insured aren't you?".
This was having explained in my letter that the vehicle had no engine in and as such was not insured and was also "recovered" from within 100yds of my property. I also intimated policemans ball tickets were probably being regularly purchased by the recovery company. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Why can't they add the costs to the criminals sentence? Make the people who stole the vehicle pay, not the owner.
Anyway, why do we have a victim surcharge if it isn't to pay the victim compensation etc. The person with their bike stolen is actually a victim (although sometimes you wouldn't think it ). ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 75 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
