PCSO's.........................

[paoloh]

Salesman takes a car out for a test drive, the numpty then parks on double yellows. 2 PCSO's start writing a ticket and PNC'ing the car. The car comes back as no registered keeper. ( the vehicle is in trade state ) Salesman returns as they are organising to have it towed away. Their reason being it must be stolen as it has no registered keeper.......... WTF

Car is completely legal and is taxed.
Deserves a ticket for being on double yellows but being towed away for being stolen??
Salesman then starts to get a little stressed trying to explain this to the pair who are blind to the legalities of a trade vehicle. They then call on "proper" police support who practically laughs in their face when he gets after beingtold of the situation and tells salesman, "all is ok, go on your way".

My point is this:

If salesman hadn't turned up, vehicle would have been towed away and we'd have been left with the bill because of this pair of poorly trained and informed PCSO's.

you say it like a surprise? PCSOs - not fit to wipe their own arses & a totally pointless waste of money.

or does it stand for Pointless C*cks Sent Outside?

No amount of training can improve on that sort of idiocy...

[Do0Bs]

I dont get it, if they even arrest people wtf is the point in them being around

[wasted years]

The control room should pick up on the reason for removal and point them in the right direction. I agree the training they get is not as good as it should be and whilst some PCSO's are pretty switched on there are some I still can't fathom out how they got employed!

Never mind.
They'll be on strike soon.
That'll bring the country to it's knees I am sure.

AS they are not PLOD will they actually strike? Are they still in the Police Federation?

What would be a nightmare is if those useless feckers kept on working whilst actual plod went on strike !!

As for the question above what use are they, the answer is to make up numbers for the Govt. After all, statistics are everything, results are of little consequence.

[somouk]

PCSO's come under Unison not the FED so won't be striking. Some of them are good guys who do their best to help the community. Some are utter twits on a power trip!

The V5 would have old keepers name on but when trade part of V5 is filled out, it takes responsibility from registered keeper but trade details are not held.

I thought you knew the rules??!!

So what happens if it triggers a speed camera - your details must be held somehow? Or do they send the forms to the last registered keeper?

Goes to registered keeper normally and they have to pass it on. Or it gets lost in system.

[wolf1]

The details of the trader holding the vehicle ARE stored on the DVLA database. When the yellow section is filled out and sent to the DVLA they type the address and details given into their computer. The only thing this doesn't do is add any extra keepers to the logbook.

NIPs never seem to get lost in the system.
Strange that...
