Former Special Constable charged with Dangerous Driving
Discussion
Be interesting to see why he's been charged with Dangerous Driving.
Having gone to the CPS for dangerous driving before (serious injury as a result( it often gets dropped to careless.
Although not sure what him arresting sex offenders has to do it this. Doesn't mean you can do what you want...

Not all cars have dashcams. My force its only traffic and possibly ARV. His car will have dashcam and telematics.
Policy is body worn to be on if using an exemption but that doesn't cover the road just the steering wheel (or your nose...).

Probably more to the story than meets the eye but having recently being subject to a 14 months criminal investigation by a neighbouring force when I had committed no offence I absolutely agree with the lack of common sense decision making aspect.
In my case I am absolutely certain that the whole allegation would have been dropped and thrown in the bin within 24hrs if I wasn’t a police officer. Instead I was subject to 14 months of stress and misery all because the OIC, their detective sergeant and their detective inspector were all too afraid to apply law, policy and procedure to the investigation and kept deferring decisions to the CPS when the reality was the case should have never been anywhere near the CPS.
To be honest it will probably take them another 14 months to investigate the 10600 word complaint I have submitted about the shambolic affair.

Assuming this part is true?
The driver of the (other) car was arrested and later convicted of driving over the legal alcohol limit, two counts of driving without valid insurance, two counts of failing to comply with a preliminary test and one count of failing to stop.
If so, he must have done something very obviously wrong to be in the position to have charges brought, no?

Yet a majority of people backing him, including ex and serving police officers, can't seem to comprehend this.The driver of the (other) car was arrested and later convicted of driving over the legal alcohol limit, two counts of driving without valid insurance, two counts of failing to comply with a preliminary test and one count of failing to stop.

If I’m going to stand to be the next Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner in 2028, I think I need to let you know a little more about myself, so here goes;
- I’ve lived most of my life in Brighton, but now I'm in West Sussex with my partner Polly, a senior A & E nurse, and our kids.
- I went to school in Lancashire on a military scholarship.
- I graduated from Brighton University Business School.
- I grew the largest hospitality company in the South with my former business partner and Conservative ex-government minister, Simon Kirby. With a turnover of £24M and 300 employees, we ran pubs, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and a fitness centre.
- I built another company in London and a new one in Brighton.
- Set up the UK’s first-ever social enterprise pub in Brighton.
- Business columnist for the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
- establish a successful rural-economy business in France.
- Presenter of two seasons of Channel 4’s “Risking it All’ reality business show.
- Awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Brighton University for my services to the community.
- Prince’s Trust Mentor and trans-Atlantic sailor.
- I’ve been a political activist, helping Peter Kyle get elected as the Labour MP for Hove.
- I’ve written business books, one of which became a best-seller in China.
- long-time supporter and fundraiser for Off The Fence homeless charity. Greenpeace supporter for over 30 years.
- At the moment, I’m a business consultant, and have recently published a crime fiction novel, ‘The Most Dangerous Man In Brighton’.
- Over 9 years I volunteered thousands of hours for Sussex Police, first as a Special Constable and then as a Special Sergeant - I was commended by the Chief Constable for saving a man’s life and awarded three medals, in addition to a special pin for serving through Covid.
I have a real passion for creating change and improving people's lives. I'll post more about this soon.
