Back in Jan this year when I still had my saxo I got pulled over by the police and they ran the usual vehicle checks on my car.
Even though the night I had been stopped I showed the constable my licence and he had seen I had valid tax, he said he still wanted me to go to the police station and produce the rest of my documents.
So I called up the next day, the officer working takes my details and that was that...problem over
Then this letter comes from the PPS saying the constable who stopped me was charging me for driving a vehicle without valid tax and insurance and that I had to appear in court. I couldnt understand this because the night I got stopped the constable clearly seen the big "CIRCULAR SHAPED DISK" stating I HAD TAX.
So off to the solicitor I go to show the documents, and she cant understand why I was getting charged either because I had the receipt that shows that I had produced everything.
Not only this but the officer who stopped me clearly couldnt read or right because he took my name and address down wrong even though all he had to do was copy it from the drivers licence I gave him.
In the constables statement as well he really goes over the top because he goes along the lines of saying "I got officer ***** ******* to take evasive action and position the car infront of the vehicle we where pursuing" Apart from the fact I was doing 30mph he makes it sound like a worlds wildest police chase with John Bunnell commentating.
Now because of some **** *** constable, Im having to pay out for a solicitor and Ive been told that the PSNI will not pay my solicitors fees even though its clearly been there mistake. In some strange way they took my details but never got around to recording them. I would love to know where thats my problem, because as far as i care I havent broken the law. Im still waiting on a response from the PSNI as to what happened and why it is Im having to pay the solicitor.
I would love to know where these officers are comming from because they clearly do not have a clue.
