I think deep down we knew it would happen.

If it had be you or me, they would have bent us over, greased us up, then aimed for penetration :shock:

Every time a copper does anything like this nothing is done, it's just a case of closing ranks and protecting their mates :roll:

Niel:
The P.A. can't be arsed to do anything, incase it would mean having to replace him, not a quick or painless exercise.

The magistrates however need a good kick in the arse for such a piddling fine and short ban, either, or BOTH could, perhaps SHOULD, have been bigger/longer (ooh er missis), the fact he'd had to give up the ACPO roads remit was NO reason to let him off lightly, IMHO they should have made a proper example of him, how long ago, if ever, did he do his advanced training and reassessment?

Though with all the scameras now in place and all the automatic guilty verdicts by machine, I suppose they don't get many purely speeding cases anymore.

On the subject of scameras, how many of you have noticed an INCREASE in speeding in 30 zones with scameras away from them?
I postulate this theory: drivers having observed the scamera believe the rest of the road is 'safe' to speed along, whereas before without the visual clue to the 'apparent' danger area they may have treated the whole road as higher risk and slowed accordingly.

What a load of BS you've come out with! :roll:  :roll: Think of something less cliched than that! :roll:  :roll:  :roll:
 
I took a Police Officer to court for speeding, 65 in a 30. The evidence was there, he got convicted and walked away with 3 points and £100. Is that my fault? No. The court made the decision.
I wanted him banned, as he had shown no remorse thinking he had the God given right to speed 'because he was Job'.
As far as I was concerned, he should have been banned for a couple of weeks, slammed with a big fine and then hammered for bringing the Force into disrepute.
But the Magistrate had obviously been done for speeding recently himself, as his words "As there are two officers saying you were speeding, I have no option but to find you guilty".

I have never shirked from my duty or tried to close ranks when I have had to deal with a Police Officer for a criminal or any kind of matter, In fact you are very concious of doing things 100% as it will very closely looked at.
I resent the implication that you make.
I'm sure there are those who have done as you suggest, and the only time that I have known it to happen in over 17 years of doing this Job, the officer ended up inside HMP for 6 months.
If  Med Hughes had been dealt with in the normal way that those caught on camera are dealt with, namely summons via the post, guilty plea, fine and points, you would have turned round and quacked on about "It's a set up, he was let off, blah blah"
As I mentioned on another post, Med Hughes was a [ed: naughty] for doing what he did, and in no way do I agree with what he did.

I'm a bit lost here... he is banned for 42 days and fined £350. It is his employers who have done nothing. He is being punished.

To be fair he was a stupid fool who has made a prat of him self and is paying for it.

What more should be done to him???
