Another Recovery question

[Rob348]

These companies which the Police use are criminals in themselves.

My boy had an RTA only involving himself,cut it short,he ended up on the top of a roundabout,(this could have been mechanical failure or just his driving,but its got nothing to do with what i'm gonna say)

Ok, so right he's on the roundabout,late at night,no traffic,not causing an obsruction, ol bill turn up ,do all the usual,breath/drugs (he's 21),ambulance called,and he gets checked out,luckily just a bruised wrist.
He asked them (police) if he could call out his own recovery (he works as a mechnanic,and the company uses a local service),the copper said No we've already called them out for you,he only has 3rd party fire and theft,copper insited that he could still claim back the recovery charges (lying sod),they took the car,bearing in mind this happened 200yds from where I live, they refused to drop the car in my driveway,instead took back to their depot 12 miles away, NO paperwork was issued to remove the car,NO paerwork given by the Police,and the recovery want to charge £150 pick up fee £75 bed cleaning,and £75 for lifting,plus £20 a day storage,that was 12 days ago so another £120 for daily storage fee's,oh and if you want the car scrapped its another £100,all this and they knew he was not comprehensively insured,the cars only worth about a grand when roadworthy,so as far as I am concerned,they took the vehicle without my sons permission,so its theft,and they wont let him take anything out of the car until the fee's are paid,they can stuff it,I am not going to let them dictate what they want just because they did not listen to him in the first place.

This makes me so mad that the ol bill dont listen and use their contractors to remove vehicles,as I said before ,it was not in a dangerous postion and was not blocking a minor road,I reckon all these Police contracted recovery companies give back handers along the line somewhere.

Rant over ,oh and Its Essex plod .
One last thing, the recovery companys so called secretary, said to me,'If you dont pay up,we'll take you to court',well thats nice to know.
I'd love to name and shame them, but under rules,I cant

No dont expect anything free, he told police that his insurance would not pay out for recovery and said he would use his own,whilst being in the ambulance getting checked out ,They decided to call their own contractors without telling him ,was only when he was making a call to his own, they said they had already called their ones,and once they done it ,they cannot cancel.

And question is............... why do the police not take notice of whats being said them at the scene .

As said ,without going into in and outs, there could have been a mechanical failure of the car causing this to happen,car on a roundabout dosent = police making decisions for the driver,without his permission
