Yoshi:
Just watching sommat on telly and they have just given someone a 7 day producer, my issue is they gave him the ticket, didnt explain what it was, and said "sign this, i will explain what it is after".

Surely thats actually illegal?

M19 ROO:
yeah b4 u get one and b4 they even right it out they are supposed to caution you and then tell you what they are doin and what they require of you to do with it..

and if a copper asked me to sign summot without tellin me what it was id deffo say no

Sooty:
Technically it is not illegal it is unlawful and therefore you could ignore the request to produce.
Having said that if it is not on film then you may have problems persuading the magistrate in court after you have been arrested that you were given the ticket before you were told what it was for.
And also if your paperwork is in order what it the problem, the system is designed to catch the tow rags that drive illegal motors and cost you (I assume) and I so much money.
Policemen are human and make the odd mistake but on the whole do a dam good job in very difficult circumstances.
Sooty puts his soap box back under the stair until the next time :)  :)
Have a nice day :!:  :!:

sleeplessparadise:
I saw this too and basically the policeman couldnt seem to make the man understand anything he said in English and so just said, "Sign this and I will explain after." That is definately wrong! and I would have said no [-X

Magnum335:
When i crashed a tractor I was told to produce my insurance within 7 days but i never got a producer!!! How the nick loved that!!
