Police officer guilty of assault

[peasea]

Have to take your word on that one mate.

A bit like the six o'clock swill. (Possibly some connection? Shutting pubs at 6.00pm is a bit gay isn't it?)

A police officer who followed a man onto his driveway, and then arrested him has been found guilty of assault in a private prosecution. The judge has ruled she had no power to arrest and the use of handcuffs constituted an assault. Police will now face a separate claim for false arrest.

Ah, ya win some, ya lose some.

Sort of like life except you don't have so many wins in life...

The fundamental common law principle, respected for about 1000 years was that no subject could be detained , interrogated or required to produce ID unless the police has some grounds for suspecting him of an offence. Then lots of exceptions got sneaked in, the most notable being that if you are in charge of a motor vehicle, you lose most of your rights. Including the right to not have to produce ID.

I have had a few times at WOF/Rego/License "checkpoints" where I genuinely did not have my license on me. They went over my vehicle and could find no grounds for any infringement whatsoever, and interestingly did not ticket me for being unable to produce my license.

See the connection here?

A. No offence having been committed.

B. Identification demanded, but no infringement notice issued when it was not produced.

Perhaps they cannot legally demand ID (license) while I am otherwise square with the law? Different story if I do any misdemeanor - then they fuzz may demand ID, at which point I must produce my license.

I could say "harden up you lot" but that would just encourage you.

Can ask for licence anytime you're driving

You MAY get a ticket if you don't have it on you.

You are more likely to get a ticket for not producing your licence if you have also committed an offence.

You will most likely get a ticket for not producing you licence if you have committed an offence AND shown how staunch you are by having a Bad Attitude (tm).

There's no 'might' about it. Coppers will do what they can to make a point, ask David Bain, Scott Watson, Aurhtur A, Thomas, me!

As much as you may think you have you really have no idea of getting "reemed",that aside methinks be as staunch as you like,fuck practice whilst watching the reflection in the mirror if need be but a penny to a pound my money would be on his reaction being nothing more than a here we go again kind of roll of the eyes,by no means dont let my opinion stop you perfecting the art of staunch but once again a penny to a pound life will sort the wager out.Good luck with it.
