Power Hungry Police?

[MrHouston]

I don't normally rant at Police, in fact I have never but I am seriously wound up.

My brothers been on the road for about a week, on a moped and he's 16, saved up for ages for it, yes it's a ghey ped but still that's not the point here..

He's parked up outside a train station, his helmet is off, engine is off, peds on it's stand and he's just sitting on his bike texting his mate asking how long he's going to be

Then a Policeman on a cycle pulls up and gives him a £30 fine for being on a moped without a helmet

Seriously, wtf?!

The bikes off, it's on his stand, he's just sitting on it texting his mate as he's waiting to meet him. And he gets a fine for being in charge of a moped without wearing a helmet

What the fuck is going on, feel really sorry for him. I'm going the nick tomorrow to complain. I don't know what else to do but it's wrong..

[Adam_Q]

Agree man! That's just stupid.

Hope you get it all sorted though!

[DJDannyB]

TWATS!
how tight can ya get, bastads

[chinkostu]

What a wanker

[Sammy-Boy]

I would fight the ticket mate!!

[Ashleyp]

wtf.. no offence to any officers here,

but some policemen are pricks

ive chatted to some well down to earth coppers and have a bit of a laugh with them, but you allways get the bastards that think theyre too big for their boots

Agreed :y: I suppose they get brownie points depending on how many people theyve pissed off:P

[MrHouston]

The only reason he would have give him a ticket is because he's a young lad on a moped

[girlracer1597]

Bet your brother is gutted, i hope you get it sorted!

[Sammy-Boy]

Its basically the same when police seen young lads/girls in saxos and see them as boyracers. They pull you up for anything

[Barry123]

fucking pigs.

[OLLYVTS]

What they can do that surely.

Thats just wrong.

[Sophie123]

I didnt get pulled once in my saxo :homme:

It is stupid that they did that, but they can do you for being anywhere in a car you have the keys too if your drunk....so id guess its a similar kinda thing...

[MrHouston]

Just read the ticket, says you can go to court so will go down the nick tomorrow and see what's what.

There's a list of offences on the back too

Apparently you can get fined for having more than 1 person on a push bike

Pathetic

[Sammy-Boy]

You cant do anything right these days without being bollocked in by the law.

[Tupps]

That's shit tbh - Contest it

[MrHouston]

If we take it to court, do we have to pay court fees?

[Sammy-Boy]

You only have to pay court fees if you lose. If you win, the other side pays the costs

[Ashleyp]

If we take it to court, do we have to pay court fees?

if you lose case.. yes

if you win case.. no

[frankie]

Apparently you can get fined for having more than 1 person on a push bike



im not gunna lie but id be happy to fined for that lol.

think it would be well funny.

[Barry123]

If we take it to court, do we have to pay court fees?

yeah if you.....


fail.


otherwise pigs pay it. Seek legal advice. Based on what you've said it sounds like he didn't deserve the fine so it would probably be worth pursuing.

[Predator_R32]

should of asked for his badge number tbh

[MrHouston]

Think we've got it on the ticket here, as I said brother's only 16, never been in contact with the Police so he didn't really know what to do

[DANKZii]

Thats bollocks ...
If the engines off and he aint on the road they cant do anything ...
If he had his engine on then yeah, but they should have also done him for riding on the pavement etc ...
Contest it tbh.

[shooorn94]

Train stations have CCTV get up there early tomorrow and ask for the camera footage of any external cameras (usually a few pointing at the taxi ranks) that way he will definetlly have proof if it come to court of turning the bike off etc.

It'll be hard to win a case such as this (or any coming against the police) But I would advise you to go through with it, especially if your brother is talking the truth. It'd be like sitting in a parked car without your seatbelt, hardly the worst crime in the world ;)

[Sammy-Boy]

Thanks for the rep Mr Houstan!

[Viper]

you get cunts in all jobs. you're brother found a cunt. poor sod!

[burnoutsax]

writ to your mp. this is rong and needs soring owt

[Ferg]

LOL @ Sayer ...

Think we've got it on the ticket here, as I said brother's only 16, never been in contact with the Police so he didn't really know what to do

This is the problem ... things like this always seem to happen to people with no experience of what to do next. Copper sounds like a right prick ... I'd go down and contest tbh ... prob won't do much but worth a shot.

[evans1089]

got to pay their wages somehow :P

[JC-Furio]

writ to your mp. this is rong and needs soring owt

I agree, MP will sort it yo'

[Tony]

That is harsh as.

The only thing I can think is that someone on a moped get one over him or pissed that copper off and unfortunately he got revenge on your brother. I doubt he'll get much sympathy at the station, especially if he goes without a parent. But even then I think the chances are slim of a successful appeal.

[MK2SLAG]

why are police called pigs?

And s, for snakes and ladders

[MK2SLAG]

:pig::pig::pig::pig::pig:

Jc is a cunt

[JC-Furio]

Jc is right.

Never thought i'd hear a girl say that.

[Barry123]

everything I say is the truth.

[JC-Furio]

I love you Sayer.

It's amazing how often that pic comes in handy.

[Barry123]

did you actually find that on the net or did you go to the trouble of making it?

[JC-Furio]

I made it, home made stuff is far more romantic than googled shit.

[Barry123]

I'm worried touched.

[JC-Furio]

Don't worry, i've moved on now... that was back in the day when i was after your rep.

[Matty_Mills]

At the end of the day, you don't get a fine for sitting in your car with no seatbelt on if your parked up in a car park do you.
Call that citizens advice thing. they sorted me when i hurt my back at my old job. Free of charge too.

[brosnan]

thats sick, they on a target for tickets and all that shit, that why they have no limits to stupid shit. i would contest the ticket and get the copper looked into. complain yeh

[Andy_K]

Just opt for the court case tbh. I very much doubt it will actually make it to court. The CPS will most likely throw the case out before it gets that far. If they don't, the judge should do

[DarylVTR]

that is harsh. Technically if your in a car / motorbike your classed as being in charge of that vechicle..... odd in circumstances like that.

Its the same if you were to get in your car whilst drunk and just sleep in it or whatever, and the officer has reason to believe your going to drive it, they could probably arrest you.

tbh i wouldnt even look twice, i see kids on mopeds doing that all the time, nothing wrong with it aslong as they arnt riding on pavement or giving lifts to their friends.

What code / reason is given on the ticket mate? Il look it up at work 2morrow.

[DarylVTR]

should of asked for his badge number tbh

This is written on the ticket by the officer issuing the ticket.... so you should have those details already.

[MrHouston]

Offence code: 131

I can't even read the hand writing, there is "No protective headwear", there's a word before it but can't make it out

Scan it if you can and PM it to me mate. Im not sure if the tickets are identicle in other counties or not

dousnt fuking suprise me there are a few sound coppers i have met but near enough 9 out of 10 are wankers :n:

[shooorn94]

That is some awful writing on that ticket!!!!!

Send the copper back to school ;)

[Yates]

haha funny

[Marcos]

cop was just jelous that his 2 wheeler didnt have a engine :P

[Jimmy-Boy]

Same old story so many wanker police, so many good police having to meet wanker govenment targets... just out weighs good police all the time they can't win tbh but doing things like that they dont deserve to win the public over..

its funny how i always notice everything goes completely silent as a 5-0 car comes past or theres one with a noddy hat.

[darkslag72]

the first word ses protective i think mr H. that is pretty harsh tho. take the case further. i dont think it will make court tho. it will be settled out court me thinks.
