A (not so) quick question for MadCop

[pmanson]

I'm new to this forum but you seem to be the font of all knowledge!! About a year ago i was driving home from Halfords of all places and suddenly i was stopped by the police. Apparently i had gone through a red light (Even though it was amber and i have a witness in my car) and was seen by an unmarked car with only the driver in it. So i'm driving home and i see a marked police car turning round and he comes and pulls me over. Then the traffic police arrive down the middle of the road. I was boxed in at the side of the road with the unmarked car on the pavement alongside. I get out thinking its all a mistake and was told about the traffic light. The guy who had apparently seen me do it then turned around and said as the traffic police were on the scene he'd have to see what they wanted to do. He then comes back and says they want to give me 3 points without even talking to me. At this point a fourth car arrives and parks up. So for going through an amber traffic light i ended with 4 police cars and five police officers (and they're understaffed).
After speaking to my solicitor (Who lives up the road, free advice as and when) i went up the police station in aylesbury and make a complaint and hand in my license. Eventually i get a response after sending a letter to the chief constable, but the inspector who i spoke to, rubbed me up the wrong way so i ended up making a formal complaint. On the day the PCC came out according to the neighbours a police car was marked outside the house but went away when someone came out to see what happening. This happened again and again (5 cars in 4 days) Eventually they called when i was in and was told they were investigating an assault and my car had been indentifyed from CCTV footage. The copper dragged it out a bit but eventually told me they were looking for witnesses. I decided it was easier to take the points (TS10) and not risk the large fine as i'm a student so now i don't have a clean license. The think is though i always thought they're had to be 2 officers in the car for it to be used as evidence???
