Two questions for JP

I was stopped a couple of years ago, and the copper
said they were stopping everyone looking for drink-drivers.
He smelled my breath (poor sod), and let me go. I don't
have a problem with that, at all. The more DDs they stop
the better.

 

I hads a bike copper in front of me the other day. He over took several
cars and then vanished round a corner. I rounded said corner he pulled out
of the side street and pulled me.(1) Then after a talking to he rode off in
to a national limit quite quick, over a bridge and then pulled in to the
motorway slip road and waited for me to go past again, then followed me.
Trying to get me for speeding. I was not impressed.

(1) had a small plate on but its not small small its well visable.

You're back! Where was this? I don't think I'll be out until I've got
new tyres if they're being arsey round here.

<thinks>

Speeding? It wasn't *that* policeman was it? <g>

Dont shoot the messenger

Most of the time its a hunch - like a certain Chrysler PT Cruiser two
days ago. Cant say what it was but turned out nicely - stolen off the
forecourt of a garage a year ago (brand new and unregistered) and both
occupants wanted for similar offences

As above - its the law and very often its just a "sixth sense" about
the vehicle and/or its occupants. I reckon that about 75% of the
hunches (speaking for myself!) are right for one reason or another.

Wasn't Suttcliffe (Yorkshire ripper) only caught by a routine vehicle
stop? opened the boot and he had the murder weapons in there.

 

Does it bollocks.

"People who refuse to register for the government's planned ID card
scheme could face a "civil financial penalty" of up to £2,500, it has
emerged.
David Blunkett said not making registering a criminal issue would
avoid "clever people" becoming martyrs.

Mr Blunkett has previously said at the very least nobody should be
able to work or claim benefits without one.

He said people would not have to carry it in the street, but would
have to produce it when required by competent authorities."

Making it a perfect weapon against terrorism and theives.
Where's your card? forgot it, ok, bring it to the station within 14
days.

 

Salad Dodger says...

I already have 2 forms of Govt issued photo-ID that can be produced at a
Police Station on request or demand - a UK passport and my driving
licence. If I want to get really funny I can also produce a Maltese
passport too. The police also have my mugshot and fingerprints on file,
so why should I bother getting an ID card? It seems pointless to me.

I absolutely refuse to pay 35 quid for this worthless piece of plastic
that this govt are forcing on me.

 

<fx: runs along side Andrew's train of thought for a while>

This is all about you wanting to do a mercy dash in your SOC isn't it.

 

So you will pay £2,500 instead. Personally I've got enough money
stacking up in a "don't touch" bank account that £2,500 will be no issue
for me. I'm interested to see what they do after the first fine. Another
£2,500 or does it then become a criminal offence - they then get their
martyrs.

 

Paul Corfield says...

Sometimes people have to make a stand. I'm sick of all this sort of shit
being thrust upon us and I'm prepared to be prosecuted for it *and* not
pay the fines. I already have 2 forms of UK Govt issued Photo-ID and I
cannot see why I should pay 35 quid for something in addition to this,
that the govt wants me to have against my wishes.

 

A government spokesman on the radio recently said that anyone
who needs to see your ID will also have a biometric scanner
so they can match your iris or fingerprints instantly with
the national database.
Hence ID cards will be obsolete by the time they are compulsory.

 

Are you aware that there wa smore than one national proesucting team,
you utter fuckwit?

Did the midwife drop you on your head the moment you were born? If she
did, I bet it wasn't an accident.

 

At what point does a roadside check become a roadside test that the
driver of vehicle may elect to defer, to a 7 day period within the next
30 days, unless it is clearly too defective to be allowed to proceed?

So, you're saying it's not all bad then?

 

'Snot damaged, it's stopped working because it's faulty[1]. I want a new
one FOC stat, and it better be more reliable than the last one. I paid good
money for this thing.

[1]And nothing to do wif me holding the chip thingy against the spark
igniter on the gas hob neither...

 

Well, we'll all take the 30 days, then, see how the Prison Service copes
with that.
