After reading the post on here earlier about The Sun catching out a plod with a doughnut trap, I had to buy a copy.



I can scan and post the article if anyone wants to see it but too embarrassed to buy a copy.

It also says a WPC is under investigation after she got spotted eating an apple in a police van.

Sorry to all the decent BiB – but this is great stuff, how does it feel being on the receiving end of gov. hench tatics?

That isn't the public fighting back. That's the Sun selling newspapers.

Irrelevant and vindictive.

Totally, and I’m just kidding – but the point is that this all goes along with the speed cameras, talivans, the works – the police cant even follow the rules.

So… when they get caught doing what they catch us doing, I think that shows up the whole system.

Excellent....

Maybe it is just The SUN selling papers but unfortunately it is seems to be Sun Retards (oops I mean Readers) that do as they aer told and swing the General election.

Sounds fair to me.... It's no different to a hidden scamera IMHO. If the driver was paying attention he should have observed the hidden camera

Vindictive is it ; well it's just like the original prosecution then.

Irrelevant ; well seems to me to be very relevant. In fact more so ; Doughnuts are likely to impair your driving more than apples, I'd have thought.

Cop ; you make your bed, you lie in it.

You can't have it both ways (any more).

"THE PUBLIC FIGHT BACK"

I think it's a fair statement to some extent, at least the general public seem to be behind stopping nonsensical actions like this and shows to a large degree that the public are fed up with alot of the road traffic policing/scameras that we've experienced. ...but of course the "do gooder" will always prevail and their friends the scams will always be there to protect them...


I don't know the full details of the case so as far as I know the copper may have been right to stop "the bint"

That's not the problem.

Plodfan will try to just abandon this as "we must chase any crime" (which is of course total bollocks)

The problem is the grotesque waste of resources on hunting down this person, which is IMO entirely down to her complaining about it in the media.

It's a re-run of "Policeman's sandwich"

The double standards are laughably obvious.

Well this can work for us or against us. The judicial system may decide not to pursue any more drivers having a snack (three course meal is a different story ) as it is embarassing for them to account for the financial costs. Or there could be a rise in the pursuit of sneaky snackers at the wheel in an attempt to save farce oops sorry face

Either way it's no surprise as the sun has always been a pathetic dishrag of a paper (sorry I know it's insulting other types of paper such as used toilet roll!) All it seems interested in is "Look at us arn't we standing up for your rights and backing the Great British public all the way. Whilst we also make a mint out of garbage." They really should rename it The CHAV.
