Dangerous driving charge - Victory!

[Funkyfly]

It's an academic thing for me I think.

Part of me is saying yay!
Part of me is saying - who'd he put at risk (knowing none of the facts - but I'll assuming only himself... so that's fine in my book)
Part of me is saying the law is the law and getting off because a process wasn't followed is stupid. What if a rapist got off scott free because the dude ... used a pink label instead of ablue one on the specimen jar or something.

Y'know - like I said... academic.

I didnt get off any any technicality, i got off because 1)there was no evidence, 2)the story the office gave was full of holes which the judge was able to see thru because he made it up, 3)the fact he didnt follow proper procedure and put the public at risk reflected badly on his cred.

I also had three independant witnesses wating to give evidence contray to what the office had stated. So until you know all the facts might be best to keep that "part of you" quite aye, you dont look too academic jumping to wrong conclusions.

I wonder if there is anyway of going after the officer in question for court costs.

What he did sounds to have been malicious and intentional. It's only right that he should be the brunt of the financial burden.

The KB locals need to organise a celebratory ride. Lest they could do is to chip in for some gas.

Good to hear one of the good guys winning. Any chance of getting a copy of the transcript if there is one.

Well done, good to see justice prevailed, I have no time for those that 'embelish' what actually happened, it's the truth all the way as far as I'm concerned.
( a cynical man might think a stop at the time might have saved you a fortune though!).


BTW While you're all cheering and gloating etc the cop involved has probably already forgotten the incident, very likely it would be nothing to him.

Did it cost him money of his own? No
Did it cost him time? No, (not his personal time.)
Is he going to be sacked? No.
Is he going to be 'told off'? Maybe.

Now to add to the fine officer's whipping instruct a litigation lawyer to file a personal grievance case against the for causing you all sorts of issues all because he personally failed to follow due course as instructed by his employer. Its worth investigating to see what you could be entitled too.

Good luck bro, stick to the prat

He hasent forgotten, hes been working on this for months, 6 months after the event he did the video tape. He took it personally.

The Judge took to him personally, and its written in the complaint report, i was there and saw the look on his face, he was squirming, even the judge said he was looking uncomfortable.

It certainly wasnt "nothing" to him.

Its nice to see that the "little guy" can still win occasionally -restores one's faith in the justice system... second thoughts, not quite!

[Motig]

Good one ! Surely with all the expense you've been put to and the obvious bias of the cop that even the judge noted must give you a chance of some compensation ? and lastly whens the movie coming out ?

[kro]

The guys at Boston legal would have just blackmailed him, but nice work, it's good when you get a competent judge too.

You could write an open letter containing the transcript of the Judges remarks and forward to all the defence lawyers in town.

I get pissed at cops that fabricate bullshit to get a conviction. I've seen it first hand. It gives them all a bad name as the shit sticks to them all, even the good ones.

Lying in court this way by the plod is no better than fraud by a lawyer, and the result should be the same.

And maybe a few letters to the editor of some of the countries papers.

[Pussy]

Good on you, Lee. Road safety?, my arse. Revenue gathering? Thats exactly what it was. You should have asked Mr. Plod if it hurts to piss out of something that small. I've heard of Hammond a few years ago, a right jumped-up twat!

[onearmedbandit]

Well done Funkyfly, good to see you stuck to guns and were fortunate to have a judge that can see past all the bullshit.

You deserve all the bling you get Fatjim, too many would rant and blame ALL cops for the actions of this one.

Does anybody think I would condone such actions as this officer undertook? I seriously hope not and neither would every cop I've worked with.

[madboy]

Nice to see one of the liars got caught out for a change. Too often they get away with it. Can't say I've had that sort of success against the various perjurors I've witnessed, but guess it comes down to how good a lawyer you pay for. I'll remember that when I get caught. Well done that man.
