nightrider Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Just read in the paper about a motorist who was given a £60 fine and 3 points for blowing his nose while his van was at a standstill in traffic. The traffic was nose to tail and he had applied his handbrake, a cop pulled him over saying he was not in full control of his vehicle. Its things like this that show the cops in a very bad light with the general public, surely the cop could have let this one go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliveH Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Have to agree. This is exactly what (wrongly) give the police a bad name and makes them look totally moronic and stupid. I am glad the guy is refusing to pay the fine - the support I suspect he will get from the general public will be considerable. No doubt the average Copper will be shaking their heads in disbelief as well. Far from giving this guy a ticket for blowing his nose the Policeman concerned should be sent back to training to have the Common Sense bi-pass instilled by the Politically Correct brigade can be reversed.

bob b Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 He's actually fighting the case in court. If the authorities have any sense the case will be throw out before the hearing.The lunatics are now officially running the asylum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Perhaps officialdom could write into the Highway Code exactly the correct proceedure to employ if when driving at 70 mph on a motorway one feels the need to sneeze or blow one's nose to prevent the exudation of unwanted material onto the steering wheel thus making it too slippery to be safe to carry on at 70mph? The country has gone bloody mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W3526602 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi, Could this copper have been in the car behind. In future, one should lower the wndow. turn head sideways, close one nostril with finger, and snort through the other nostril. Ask a cyclist what they do. Hopefully this copper with still be behind you. Was it Alan Sherman who recorded a record about the time he was driving a convertible with the hood down, and dropped a lighted cigarette onto his lap. Luckily he soon came to a red traffic light and was able to stop. But cigarette had disappeared. So he is frantically groping between his legs, looking for it ..... when he becomes aware tyhat the passengers in the bus alongside are all watching him. 8-) 602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 The over zealous cop that handed out that fixed penalty fine is by all accounts known as PC shiney buttons and he is well known for handing out tickets like confetti. Surely his boss will now have him on the carpet or couldn't his collegues have a discreet word in his lugholes? I am an avid watcher of those TV programmes such as "Police car interceptors" those guys have my admiration for the work they do in collaring the scumbags, all the good work that they do is ruined by the actions of this toy cop. Can you imagine this cops young son saying "did you arrest any baddies today" yes, I fined a bad dude motorist for blowing his konk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 A good cop knows how to work within the spirit of the law and not just the letter of the law.

Both hands must remain on the wheel. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3526602 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Both hands must remain on the wheel. Hi When I took my driving test, I was required to wind down my window, by hand, then stick my hand out to signal my intensions, and keep it there for several seconds. Anybody remember the recent picture in the newspapers, of a bloke using BOTH hands to give a V-sign (s) to a police camera. :-D Er ...... how can I switch my ignition off if I can't take my hands off the wheel when the engine is running? 602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help thinking this went down in Home Office Statistics as "Crime reported 1, Crime solved 1" and counted as a successful and worthwhile outcome for the police Force - oops, I mean "Service", involved.

spospe Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have often seen this sort of ridiculous behavious reported in the media, however when the full facts are known, it is also often shown to be not quite as reported. In other words the media love a good story and do not always let the facts get in the way of spoiling it. I remain open-minded and am waiting to hear all the facts before pontificating.

donna miller Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 He is known in his station as PC Shiney Buttons. He is the copper who gave that old bloke a fpn for throwing a tenner on the floor. Looking at his photo, he would appear to be the typical ego bound glory freak, he's got that arrogant look about him that says " I AM THE LAW" just like Judge Dread.
