Discipline the officers for incompetence. Or shoot them.

Turns out that the officer involved, PC Stuart Gray, is the same little jobsworth that issued a littering fine last year to a man who accidentally dropped a £10 note in the street.
Mind how you go!

If that's for real it sounds like the officer has serious mental-health issues.

Seriously? WTF?

Don't they have to fill out tonnes of paperwork? Can the people who read this paperwork (Do they actually) not even notice this guy's mental?

Confused

Absolutely the right thing for it to go to court.
Be nice to see how easy it is to prove you're not in control of a stationary vehicle.

Clearly looking for easy victims. Likely, most victims cave and pay their fine and take their points. Must be quite easy to do, from the other side.

I was in a van once and drove past a traffic copper standing at the side of the road next to his car with both elbows on the wheel while blowing my nose, I also had my left knee against the wheel to provide extra steerage. He gestured to put my hands back on the wheel and that was that Wink I don't do it anymore though, I can now steer entirely with my knees.

I recall hearing the poor chap involved was jobless at the time... surely making the ?40 harder to swallow

There must be, and as usual it comes out, more to this. Bit like Peter Sutcliffe saying he was put away for life, just for owning a hammer.
For those who claim not to fall for the Daily Fail head lines, many re act in the manner that they are looking for.

I'm sure you're right. The copper probably went to the chap's window to have words, and when the chap didn't fall to his knees and make a grovelling apology the copper's ego went into overdrive. "You what?! How dare you retort that being at a standstill with your handbrake on is being in perfect control of your vehicle!"

FINED ?50... FOR DROPPING A TENNER

It is thought the police were implementing a zero-tolerance approach to littering as part of a concerted effort to clean up their local area in Ayr.

But law and order campaigners last night slammed the move, describing it as petty and a waste of police resources.

"Littering is knowingly depositing in any manner litter on any public or private property or in any public or private waters, without permission to do so. Litter is trash improperly placed so as to be a nuisance or health concern."

To drop a tenner is not something you do on purpose therefore it would fail to be considered littering and pretty hard to prove he was littering, besides he protests it was a mistake aswell which should be proof enough.

The bottom of that story says the police reckon he was seen throwing papers on the ground, bit different to his version of events. He also says he recieved a FPN months later and was stunned, yet later on it says he was told on the spot he was being fined for littering so why would he be stunned and also surely the FPN would be issued on the spot.

My personal conclusion is that these stories are most probably crap.

I may even have read this here and am merely parroting the information, but the policeman who issued that ticket has a nickname: PC Shiney Buttons, even among his colleagues he has a reputation for being a bit of a dick.

Thumbs Up
