    Been along time coming this but 'one' ticket and hour is a quota.


    Thanks Spud for the confirmation.

    Nobody ever denied it, in fact I've explained numerous times in this very mental asylum just how the "quota" works.

    That's what I thought but the Judge who let off Clarke's speedsters had another idea.

    That they were doing their job, and the reponsibility was from those giving the orders?

    Has anyone heard how the rider is doing. The report about his "foot dangling off the end of his leg"sounded like a quick fix with a bandaid wasn't going to cut the mustard.

    The PCA need to resolve these two U-turn vs bikes enquiries before they find themselves with a backlog.

    Try telling the Judge that next time you get a speeding ticket. There is a fundamental responsibility when you get issued with a driving licence, that is you take responsability for your own actions behind the wheel. I know of no law that exempts the police from this.

    Sounds bad for me- I don't 'do' quotas, the only time I'm 'bound' is when I need prunes.

    I write out tickets as I feel needed -not 'at one an hour' or '0.7 per hour' or anything like that.

    So it seems quotas are only for some??

    That's not good news. Just hope there's no more like that.

    So the ones that have been charged and convicted need to appeal then??

    They did and their convictions were struck out. I'm picking that's what will happen to our U turn cop. There will be a charade of trial he'll get convicted and appeal the conviction and the judge will let him off. That's exactly what happened with the speeding convoy drivers. When all the fuss has died down.

    Wanna take a little bet history won't repeat itself.

    No, I meant ALL the other police drivers that have EVER been charged and convicted, since there's now a precedent set and all. Should be a prime opportunity to get some convictions quashed. In fact I can't understand why there isn't a huge line of ambulance chasers lining up to rip off the legal aid system on that one cause alone.

    It seems that you are blessed with commonsense however this is not the case with the majority and it is these people who are referred to on KB. Keep on doing what you are doing it is a rare thing these days.
