His school days were over years ago,why on earth would anyone call plod 'sir'??
Technically at the time of the incident I was not that long out of school, if you include sixth form, but I agree with you.Mind you I d never call a police officer 'sir' even if I *was* still at school. Politeness doesn't extend that far for me.

So
Twist and turns aside, the ops gotta drive reasonably for twelve months.
If he gets caught being naughty, his car is seized, but he can get it back after paying for the seizure
Off duty Bill put in a statement, along with others.
Suck it up.
It's done.
You're missing the point. He doesn't have to be caught doing ANYTHING to have his car seized, THAT'S what's so unfair about not only the S59 itself, but also WHY OP got his in the first place.Twist and turns aside, the ops gotta drive reasonably for twelve months.

With all the talk of corruption I couldn't help but post this video. Undercover filming of the police in action.
Quite saddening watching
It'd be reassuring for our p'heads bib to tell us that a lot has changed since this video was made.

The police officer character in the Jonny Vegas sitcom "Ideal" appears to be based on true fact...Quite saddening watching

Thanks to S.59 he can keep his nose as clean as he likes, but all the person who complained originally has to do is phone the police up again saying he's been driving like a yob and he can have his car seized on nothing more than that person's word. The car could even have been sitting in his garage at the time!
Then, when he pays to get it back, they can phone up again (possibly with a friend to corroborate this time) and have it seized again.
With no hearing, no appeal, and a large recovery fee each time it happens.

You do realise the Police are open to public scrutiny? You can apply to audit police custody, and turn up at any time, unannounced, demand entry, and ask people detained anything you like about their arrest/treatment in private? and escalate any dodgy goings on very high, very quickly?
Mmm. Try actually doing that.A lot of my issues actually stemmed from doing precisely that....I complained about an officer, my complaint was upheld, and overnight I became a marked man. For a time, I literally could not drive locally without being stopped on some ludicrous pretence, or getting followed about by police vehicles.
The lesson actually is.....don't complain about the police. They will have you for it, one way or the other.
are you not aware of the existance of Custody Visitors , and how st scared Supts and ACPO grade officers are of them ... becasue they will not hold back in criticising the (lackof) support given to front line officers ( most of the PCs - Inspectors are only scared of them if they are of the tiny minority of officers who are working bent) .

That's it Fascinating stuff, all human life is there. Some hilarious, mostly tragic.

Yes they are but, seeing as there's no provision to have a hearing regarding what happened, there's no way for them to be found out because there's no process for the driver's side (or any witnesses he might have) to be heard.
I think you are confusing two processes. Yes the S59 doesn't have a process for "debating" a case. However, if (through whatever means), plod had reason to investigate PCoJ, they would certainly have to. That reason could well be the driver making a complaint.No idea if it would ever happen, but PCoJ is certainly not constrained by the why S9 works.
