Ha, that scumbag again.
Defended by a few on here as being a canny lad really and not his fault for being an overweight fat unit, who was late for training, crap attitude, and a sick note.

Brian Payne, prosecuting, told the court the police officer saw the Range Rover accelerate away on the A184 dual carriageway.

"It is clear the Range Rover was travelling well in excess of the speed limit," he said.

"I am going to suggest it was at about 100mph in a 70mph zone."


So they didnt catch him on a speed camera or owt? How can they know he was definitely speeding?

A good brief would have got him off. Sounds like he admitted his guilt to the po-po when pulled.

● Remember kids say NOWT, use your right to remain silent.
● Do not get out of your car, there is no legal requirement for you to do so. Police cars are wired up to record anything thats said in them, hence why they want you to get into them. Don't incriminate yourself.
● Beyond proving your identity you don't need to offer any other info during a traffic stop. The police have access to a huge computer that holds information about MOT, insurance, etc. Much like the right to remain silent don't do their work for them.
● "Am I being arrested?", ask this regularly. To arrest you the police have to have reasonable suspicion of an offence having occurred. If you've said nothing or don't believe you have actually done anything wrong, the chances are they're just fishing wanting you to incriminate yourself. The cannot hold you up on your journey without due cause.
● The National College of Policing advises that you DO NOT CARRY important documents, driving licence, insurance docs, MOT cert, with you in your vehicle. You are not breaking the law by following this advice.
● Record every interaction with them from the start. Make sure to let them know you are recording them at the first opportunity and ask them if they are recording you too. They should tell you this straight away anyway if they are.

They'd need to have a recording of it then.

Despite what people think it needs a bit more than a copper saying "I saw you!" for a conviction.
