Did he authorise her detention unlawfully then?

Hed have authorised detention on the strength of what the cops told him when they presented her to him. Not too many questions get asked at that point. Not sure why she accepted a caution if the insurance company declined to cooperate and confirm an offence -no doubt talked into it

So he didn't do his job then. If he was not happy with what was going on he should not have authorised detention until he had got some answers from the arresting officer. Necessity would be a good starting point.

Excuse my confusion, isn't this post relating to a totally different event?

Quite abit of distance between the OP and the ^ post..

How many 'police officer smashes windscreen' threads can there be?

Is this one in London and the mistaken identity?

I'll have a google of that incident instead as it seems my assumption was very wrong.

Theres no result yet - itll be a while before any investigation is completed

Thanks Bigends.

I couldn't see any updates. News websites say the IPCC are looking into it.

End of the Daily mail article says the IPCC found The police's actions were justified. Range Rover doesn't pull over with the police car following = reasonable to smash the windows to immoblise it, sounds fair enough to me. Fact the pensioner was charged with failing to stop proves this point.

Utter farce on both pay outs.

I think that you're on a different case.
This thread is the coloured guy who was fed up with constant stops/harassment and plod went ballistic.

It's only been 6 months- how can they possibly have viewed the entire video & asked a few questions in that short space of time?

[anonymous-user]

It could be sub judice which means any misconduct investigations are on pause until the conclusion.

Quite common reason for delays with police complaints.

[Bigends]

No real surprise here...

Right course of action.

To behave like that knowing you are being filmed clearly indicates he's not much of rational decision maker and therefore unsuited to the job, I'd say.

The Met never issued him with a Swiss Army knife.

What a tool.
