Brunstrom's successor caught speeding on Brunny's patch

[mybrainhurts]

...oh dear, you couldn't make this up if you tried

Med Hughes, CC of South Yorkshire, who took over Brunstrom's role as roads policing spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers, has been caught doing 90 in a 60 in North Wales...Brunstrom's back yard.

And this by a man who advocates hidden cameras, including cameras in cats eyes...a man whose remedy for South Yorkshire's poor casualty record was to lower the trigger threshold for some cameras to 32mph

Wouldn't you just love to have been in on the phone call...?

Hang on, I need another....

Where'd you get 90 in a 60 from mbh?

Just curious, not a dig.

Made me laugh too. Oh the (alleged/potential if convicted) hypocrisy.

Radio news....

I'd imagine he'll have been doing at least 85 if it's single carraigeway, hence the summons rather than FP. Or, he's chosen to plead not guilty hence the court date.

Fantastic news. Sack him.

[Gordon Brown]

The South Yorkshire force has issued a statement confirming an "intended prosecution".

The statement said it was "in respect of an alleged driving offence in North Wales in the early morning of a Bank Holiday Monday in May while he was on holiday."



Looks like they are mitigating on his behalf already. I am sure they will do the same for me.

[Vesuvius 996]

There is a god.

I hope he gets banned and sacked.

[otolith]

The Grauniad are quoting 90 in a 60, as are the MCN.

Hypocritical bastard.

Gordon Brown said "Looks like they are mitigating on his behalf already."

Not really - this clearly shows that he cannot get out of it as he was not on Police business.

True...suppose he could have been testing Brunstrom's troops

[mybrainhurts]

Berrumped for the delectation of the night shift....

[MonkeyHanger]

This one certainly brightened up a crap day at work when they announced it on the news this afternoon.

I sincerely hope he becomes Brainstorm's highest profile victim. Ahh the irony
