[Ben]

Gutted for you mate. I'd be well pissed off.

[Ryan]

At least its just a fine though?

No further action

[Jazz]

Sorry to hear that Gav. I suppose the VTEC got a little bit too tempting and the Popo were watching your every move. You'll have her back in no time.

Why wheel spin then? They're not wankers at all, probably doing it down a public road waking everyone up, real mature.

[Ferg]

What were the circumstances matey?

[Predator_R32]

Arrr gav man, feel for you mate :(

[M1VT]

what cunts..i'd contest this mystery Section 59 dude

[bridgesvtr90]

nothing better to do? no rapists or pedo's to catch? fucking police

[Japman]

YOUR A CUNT

[Japman]

Nothing

i also have two witness's to day i didnt wheel spin

One copper

how could she possbily prove this :S

[dinga]

if the witnesses were in your car then it dont count im afraid.

[0rang3peel]

fuckers, just see you in a nice car and think lets do him

YOUR A CUNT



dont bet on that they seized my mates astra gsi turbo a few month back because he was going up a hill and gave it some revs but never wheel spun or fuck all!!!!

but back to topic gutted for u mate take it further if youve done nothing wrong hope u get it all sorted out :y:

[Sparco_Tom]

bare in mind a section 59 is on the car not on you so if the previous owner got one put on the car, plus your inccident it would of got impounded

[BenSilverSaxo]

They can take your car off you with a witness statement from the public. So anyone could say you were wheel spinning allowing them to take your car. I think it's a pretty shit law...

[Mochachino]

bare in mind a section 59 is on the car not on you so if the previous owner got one put on the car, plus your inccident it would of got impounded

59's are on you not the car mate.


and BenjaM - ive come to the conclusion your a fucking dumb cunt faggot.

[werdna]

59's are on you not the car mate.


and BenjaM - ive come to the conclusion your a fucking dumb cunt faggot.

Agreed.

Bad news mate.

Hope you get your cat back as you left it, twats!

[rushy_23]

I cant see how they can justify doing that without any evidence? That means that they have the power to pull anyone and take their car with no questions being asked?

[leeroybrown]

Did the Vtec kick in yo!

Gav You never have any luck like.

[Bickerton]

Section 59 is a good and bad thing at the same time, it's mainly used for chavs at cruises etc acting like, as it's a small charge they don't really need much more than the officers say so which sucks ass!

It is on the driver not the car, also iirc upon getting a third section 59 they actually crush your car!
You wanna get this looked into matey!

[Mieran]

You aint part of the vtec crew unless your car gets seized at least once :P

Its a JDM thang yo

[turbomadvtr]

Car seizure warnings (Section 59 Police Reform Act 2002) are NOW issued to both the Vehicle (no matter what) and the driver !

[JamesR]

Gutted for you mate, hope you get it back soon :y:

[J222JRA]

and police wonder why the younger generation have no respect for them. This really annoys me.

I must say though that not all police are bad, some are nice ( I AM NOT A POLICEMAN)

[LittleDude101]

Car seizure warnings (Section 59 Police Reform Act 2002) are NOW issued to both the Vehicle (no matter what) and the driver !

correct! any motor propelled vehicle can be issued with a section 59 :bored: as well as the driver... and that carries over to the driver driving anything else and anyone driving the vehicle it is issued to!

You should have been told that you are/were issued with one and you should have been told with the conditions of it. As well as being given some form of paperwork for it (well thats the Met policy anyway)

Its a two stage thing; First the warning, second is taking the car/bike/whatever away... usually not three strikes. And it is active for for 12 months from the date of issue.

If the previous owner was issued with one and didnt let you know that could be your way of getting out of it.
Tbh, you will probably have to pay the fee to get your car out first, then contest it

[BenjaM]

59's are on you not the car mate.


and BenjaM - ive come to the conclusion your a fucking dumb cunt faggot.

N'aaaarwwww You Guyz :sweetheart:
But as a few people have already said, its on your car not you.

http://www.glass-uk.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=267&Itemid=492

[KamRacing]

its simple to go down the station and find out whether the old 59 was on the car (and prev owner) or the current driver. You have a dated V5. Its easy to sort then if you truly are innocent...
If the old section 59 is on you then i dont see how you can forget.....

[Bickerton]

N'aaaarwwww You Guyz :sweetheart:

Says it's on both you and the car in that link im afraid ;)

[Jamie]

Had the same before but got banned from the southend seafront although they didnt take my car & on the way home on the carridgeway at 3am i went through a camera at 50 thinking it was a 50 limit when it was infact a 40 bad times feel for you man x

[LittleDude101]

did they do checks on the roadside?

if you havent been issued with one in the passed they should be able to check... Do whatever check they do to check section 59's and the check the car on the police national computer... see how long you have owned the car for and when the 59 was issued...

[greenman]

Just tell them how it's impossible to wheel spin a type r from standstill, you gotta have it up at around 9K before the V-tec kicks in....

[Chris]

Section 59 Police Reform Act 2002 states that -
Where an officer has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle is being used in a manner which contravenes Road Traffic Act Section 3 (Careless Driving) OR Section 34 (Driving elsewhere than on a road) AND also the manner of use of the vehicle is causing or has been causing or is likely to cause, alarm distress or annoyance to members of the public, Section 59 can be used to:-

initially give a written warning (valid for twelve months)
(commonly called a Section 59 Notice)

and on a subsequent occasion to seize the vehicle.
(it will probably end up in the crusher, or may be ransomed back to the owner)

A constable in uniform has the power to order the person driving to stop the vehicle, to seize and remove the vehicle, to enter any premises on which the officer has reasonable grounds for believing the motor vehicle to be and to use reasonable force. Seizure can made only if a warning has been given, or believed to have been given, or if a warning is clearly being ignored.

So, usually it's a two-stage process - a warning or notice first, seizure if you persist or repeat.

[ricksimmonds]

EaZynoWRudeBoii ! They wouldnt seize it for nothing, look on the bright side.

YOUR A CUNT

YOU are C*NT mate...basically, GTFO

i am looking on the bright side
One copper
how could she possbily prove this :S

Unfortunately she is a professional witness mate, basically means what she says goes, been in similar situations before, without concrete evidence aposing what she says you just have to bend over :wall:

sorry to hear it mate, atleast theres no further action and you should already have your car back!

[fossie]

S.59's are on both the driver and the car...
Personally i would ask for proof of the previous S.59 notice and then take it from there, have heard a few stories where this has happened and a S.59 notice was never issued on the first ocassion

[leeroybrown]

And Fossie speaks sense as He is a rozzzzer!

[NICK2506]

so does a section 59 go on just the car, or just you, or both?

[BradShifty]

She, the copper was one of your dirty one nighters and she spotted your car and thought right! ill teach him for not calling back ;) lol

Should of got your money's worth and done a burnout ;) lol

[Bickerton]

so does a section 59 go on just the car, or just you, or both?

both it seems

[jayjaylui]

Why wheel spin then? They're not wankers at all, probably doing it down a public road waking everyone up, real mature.

yep they are wankers, simple :A:

and let me guess....u hav neva eva wheelspun b4?

Personally i would ask for proof of the previous S.59 notice and then take it from there, have heard a few stories where this has happened and a S.59 notice was never issued on the first ocassion

indeed... I've heard a couple of times people have had their cars taken off them... They have had s.59's but the person actually hasnt been issued it... the officer has just sorted it out at the station... well so they say.

Something must have been done to make the officer want to take the car off you... if you havent been issued one then the only thing I can think of is the previous owner had one and they just havent told you about it.

Just dont go to the station/car pound f-ing and blinding as that just wont help and the next thing you know you will be slapped another fine for public order or something

And the warning does go to both vehicle and driver/rider

[fossie]

If you are sure you have not had a notice before i would find out then make a compaint personally.....

[goodall3518]

sorry to hear this mate...you should go down the nick and just explain that possibly the previous owner got a section 59 and you werent aware. might help sort problems, although now your probably on your first now.

seems as though it goes on both car and driver.

alternatively, when she came to talk to you in the car, you blatently could of used the excuse that VTEC JUST KICKED IN Y0!

[Devoner]

ok i want some1 to police the police! i was driving down a fast bit of raod cauled slaptonline.

there was me and infront of me a copper and infront of the copper another car, the car had turned off and i was still going 60 < the SPEED limmit but the coppers dont think the speed limmits apply to them! it jsut annoys me casue if i chased after him i would have been done for dangerouse drving!!!

[jayjaylui]

tbh, if i was a cop, i wud speed :A:

[ricksimmonds]

tbh, if i was a cop, i wud speed :A:

yeah because when you get caught at 150 mph you just have to say you were 'testing' the car out because its new to you! :homme:

policeman round my area is absolutely sound aslong as your on the right side of him, completely lies and bends the rules to suit himself and speeds everywhere lol

[Japman]

UPDATE

So i goes to collect my car today and the answer was no

you aint having it back until we get a fax from the police

Asked the police and they say i have to wait until 10pm tonyt for the officer to come on duty to speak to her

so thats another 20 pounds a nyt to get the car out tomorrow

The police officer told me that i can 100 percent get the car first thing

ive travelled 30 miles to get the car to be told no

WHAT A DAY

[Bickerton]

Thats just shite!

Complaint procedure ?

[Japman]

it sure is

asked the police that if i gave them all my documnets now could they fax it so i can collect the car

NOPE

You have to wait for the officer that took the car off you

Sorry sir shes not in til 10pm so your fucked

Cheers love

Rage on

[fossie]

Good grounds for a complaint me thinks....
Theres no need for the copper to be there at all.... all of the required paperwork should have been completed, they cannot take your car if this is not the case!!!

[NICK2506]

thats shit mate!!
i normaly like the police, but they seem to have been twats with you

[SAXOSi]

The one time I got pulled was for wheel spinning at a traffic lighted cross roads.

I got a producer :D

[BenjaM]

Out of order tbh, especially if they charge you per night.

[leeroybrown]

Pop a cap in there ass

[dannyboycov1991]

Whats a producer?

Iv been pulled over a few times now for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
How can they give you a section 59 for wheel spinning, it sounds a bit petty to be honest. They should be given to chavs booting it round mcdonalds car parks on maccies trays and things like that.
I have never had a problem with the police though, i quite like the ones by me. (but these seem to be complete arseholes)

Unlucky about your car though pal.

[CampDavid]

Seizure can made only if a warning has been given, or believed to have been given, or if a warning is clearly being ignored.

I do like the way they cover themselve if they fuck up and accidently take your car and crush it they can say they "believed" you'd been warned.

[SAXOSi]

Whats a producer?

That a serious question? If so I had to produce all my documents to the police. MOT, Insurance, Driving License I think that is all

[dannyboycov1991]

Yep lol. So its no fine involved or nothing, you just have to prove you can drive that vehicle?

[DerbzwestyJoe]

haha lol i got one last year on me moped fort weeeeling then i got caught agen and they sed u got one i was like nah mate i havent i stuck to me story theyt causiond me and sed let me ask u agen i sed loook i havent had one dont no wot one is and i got away with it or they of tooook that lol ther jus sad wankers i meeen its not doin eny harm is it ?

[Japman]

im not happy at all

just spoke to the police and they said to ring tonyt at 10pm

Other police women told me to go to the station

other copper said dont go the the station it will be closed

what a shambles

[SAXOSi]

Yep lol. So its no fine involved or nothing, you just have to prove you can drive that vehicle?

Yup :y:

bit of a shitter. coppers can be arse holes. as soon as your breaking any kind of law in their book they treat you like your a cunt. its best not to give em an excuse. but honestly, sometimes i think they can make shit up or provoke you into doing something wrong.

[Jazz]

The more I read the worse it sounds, Gav the coppers in your area sound ridiculous. On collecting your car, I'd demand to know how to make a formal complaint and demand a satisfactory explanation for the time you've had to wait and how you've been treated.

Sounds to me like they're taking the piss out of you tbh.. chin up man.

[yorkie]

you need 3 set 59's to hAVE CAR TAKEN OFF YOU.....

i woulda thought a policeman could take your car off you whenever he likes if what your doing is bad enough...

Whats with that hostility? You didnt mention that you didnt wheelspin... and you post a thread on a public forum.... so anyone can post. JAM - obviously anyone would be pissed off - including me.... especially as the po love to follow me and pull me just to ask where I'm going and what I'm doing.

[VTS_16v_Boy]

Like mentioned before like most people Ive had the odd run in with the fuzz but in my experience most are fine as long as they are treated with respect they are fine.

That doesnt mean there arent utter wankers out there like there are utter wankers in modded cars so its alot of give and take.

I hope you do get your car back ok, and if you do decide to make a formal complaint then Id try and be as cival as you can and try no to get worked up or lose your rag or Im sure your complaint will slip off the desk and in to the bin as soon as you leave the station.

[Morgan_VTR]

it sure is

NOPE

Sorry to hear, seems like they will fcuk anyone about to get extra paper from them... this sort of "corruption" makes me sick... but then again its alot 'better' than some other countries!

[turnip]

if you have never recieved any paperwork qith anything to do with a section 59 you havn't got one. i was threatened with one once for absolute fuck all so i spoke to a friend who is a police officer (nice guy) and he said even if they say there giving you a section 59 notice but they don't produce any paperwork its not valid=D

[Ferg]

That is absolutely terrible.
How can they justify that you have to wait for the officer to come back on duty?
What if the said officer was now off for a few days? Would you have to wait until they came back from holiday and then pay for the fact they haven't completed the paperwork.

System is a joke ... Discriminates massively. Obv if you've done something wrong then fair enough, that's your fault. But I doubt it, you're not a chav.

[Aly]

Just read all this....really sorry for you Japman it sucks how they are charging you extra when your not actually allowed to get the car back surely this is wrong?

And Benjam your a cock.

[olly_vts]

What i dont get is why arent the police watching the old f%^kers that cant drive and nearly hit me on the roundabout...?!

[Docsamty]

Wheelspin' it out of the Impound park when you pick it up.

[danzman1991]

Have you complained about it Japman?

[Saxo_theedge]

Sounds crap tbh mate, you get good cops and ones that are absolute wa**kers. She must have been having a bad day, saw you and thought riiight!

Hope it all gets sorted.

[DavoVTR]

Yea as others have said really, you've been shit on by the coppers here mate. Some are decent, some are pricks. I have a few mates who are coppers and they all say they do an attitude test when they pull someone over, basically, if you're a knob then you're getting done.

You'd be able to claim any additional charges back if their incompetence is costing you extra money. Speak to a solicitor or citizens advice etc. as making you pay extra money because she hasn't done her job properly is a disgrace.

[Stickyjam]

UPDATE

Was so pissed off after being told im not getting my car so thought fuck it

Time for some bull shit

I goes into the police station and said this

Hey i just spoke to the sargent in port talbot(town not to far away) police station and he said for me to give you all my documents,insurance,liecence and mot and you can fax them off the garage that impounded the car?

yea sir ill get that sorted for you now

All done mr Collier

Cheers i said

Rung the garage and they said yeap all fine come and collect

SO much for waiting for the officer at 10 PM tonight

SO ive now got the car back

it has 3 miles on it more than it did when it went onto the truck and the drivers seat and matt is stinking

ARSEHOLES

[Japman]

Just read all this....really sorry for you Japman it sucks how they are charging you extra when your not actually allowed to get the car back surely this is wrong?

[DavoVTR]

That just tops it off, some fucker has taken that to maccys or to get some fags etc. Definitely put a complaint in about that, bunch of pricks.

[Karl]

That is shocking,
shoulda photo'd it before and after.

3 miles to park it in a bay?
think not.

[Japman]

i was furious when i seen it

and im a chopsy one aswell

I goes into the office and said WTF is that in my car

He said what

The fucking dirt

We aint a valeting bay ,now leave before we call the police

Shocking

[JordanVTS]

you can't fight 59 end of.

i have had my car taken and both where for things i didn't do.

i was caught racing according to the officer in a micra :P i thought he was joking but he wasn't gave me one for that, his reasoning was because there was a group of us i was the one in front must have been racing :S

second one was on my gti when i had it, car got taken now this is where it gets really stupid

meet some mates near a roundabout theres an area where a few people hang out.traffic cop pulls up about 2 mins after me and calls me over says i was, and i am not joking DRIFTING ROUND THE ROUNDABOUT!! IN A 106 LOL
the description of the car was a dark hatchback that was it got the 59 and then £150 lighter.
wasn't happy and went to see a soliciter as i really wasn't happy and the guy looked at me and says sorry mate have had a few of these and it's legalised theft nothing we can do!!

now with the 1st i can maybe see the reasoning but the second hacked me off big time, gave the traffic cop what for even told him about the difference between rwd and fwd as obviously he didn't know.

[Japman]

Well due to be being unemployed i then told the police officers ill be claiming it back anyway ;) she just laughed

So as of monday im going to claim the dole until i get my 150 back and 20 pounds fee to get to the garage to collect

so i month on the dool will sort that out

Shove that one you pigs :)

[JordanVTS]

oh and forgot to mention my gti ended up with 4.3 miles extra, just so happened to be the exact distance up and down the dual carrageway but by that time i was so miffed just took the car and left.

[Japman]

UPDATE

Gav plans to claim the dole tomorrow

[bottlenob]

you do know the dole and the police are seperate sytems mate?

[sniperscotts]

right for a start i didnt wheel spin so dont acuse me off it

and yes they are fucking wankers now fuck off out of my thread

simple

hahha nicely said

yeh they pissed me off one day so i went outside the popo station and wheelspinned the fuck out of my furio, they came after me but i just gave them the run around, when they finally caught me i said you must have the wrong car officer ive just arrived home now hahahahha

[leeroybrown]

Gav claiming dole eh

So that means techincally I've just paid for your car then!

[GoochyBoy]

Jealousyy. The police are Jealous and Stereotype every1 like they always follow specific cars... Its ridiculaaassss

What fuckers, Just read the little story and port talbot the lovely town that it is, is just down the road from me.. what a dump.

[MarkyG]

The po-po always have and always will be wankers Japman. They dont have anything better to do other than to assume they are right all the time. They should really go catch some real criminals, but they dont know how to!

[bottlenob]

am i the only person on here that has no issues with police?

[Matt]

am i the only person on here that has no issues with police?

Haha. Im with you. Never had a problem

[Chr15]

I rarely see them tbh. I had some follow me around the Buttermarket in Bury and knew they were checking my plates. I turned off and they carried on.

[ne_jam]

UPDATE

Gav plans to claim the dole tomorrow

how come you havnt been claiming it anyway ? unless you are very recently unemployed

[fossie]

Some people have an issue with the rozzers and think its the end of the world lol

[dj_russell]

im not a fan of the rozzers myself, not when they beast everyone at a meet or cruise for no reason there are some decent ones about but its very rare lol the whole justice system and government and law are all corrupt.

[dj_russell]

also mate i hope you do a better job than me fighting them in court they doubled my fine for speeding for bringing it to court.

[Japman]

Gav claiming dole eh

So that means techincally I've just paid for your car then!

incorrect i payed for my car cash

but yes you will be paying for my fine off the police ::P

[Japman]

how come you havnt been claiming it anyway ? unless you are very recently unemployed

havnt needed to mate

i dont need to now but the cheek of the 150 fine has pissed me off

[Robin91]

Wait, you can get done for wheel spinning? Are we talking full on wheel spinning, smoke and all? Or just, a quick wheel spin? If so... Oops :panic:

[Japman]

she said wheel spin and that was it,she wouldnt explain

[Robin91]

How can they do you for wheel spinning though? Ridiculously, how can they even prove it was intentional (okay it's unlikely, but some people manage it somehow!) Wheels pinning in the wet ftw.

[lakey_xs]

reminds me when they took my van said it looked dodgy smashed window to get handbrake of then dragged it onto a tow truck busting the rack and power steering then at there compound bent the back doors open to see what was in it yh tools am a joiner it was left in the county middle of no where for 45 mins parked up locked insured taxd motd yet they think its nicked or some thing lost the 4 years no claims on it cost £500 excess and got sod all back its going to court now WANKERS

My mate ran out of petrol. Left his car parked perfectly legally, was taxd, insured, mot'd. etc. Went to collect it the following morning, gone. They wanted 170 quid to get it back which he didn't have. Car was crushed.

:homme:

The po-po always have and always will be wankers Japman. They dont have anything better to do other than to assume they are right all the time. They should really go catch some real criminals, but they dont know how to!

I'm wondering If you'd be saying that If an uninsured boy racer in a stolen car drove down your street at 50 mph and knocked down one of your family or something?

I'm willing to bet that then it will be "Why didn't the police do anything?"

As said, I'd much rather they stopped people for nothing, than didn't stop anyone, and people got away with things, just to keep you happy.

Yes you can get police who are dicks, but it's not because they're police, it's because they're dicks. End of.

there are alot of police that are wankers out there, but there are some sound ones and as long as your careful and dont cause any harm to them or any other people they are normaly fine :A: i have been stopped a few times and they have just gave me a harsh telling of for going round roundabouts to quick and attempting to do a handbrake turn in my old fiesta in a car parkk hah :A:

In terms of Doll even if you don't need the cash if your out of work for longer than say a month you should sign on as you wont be paying into you National Insurance which relates to your pension amoungst other things.

Well hope you get your claim in and get your money back but I wouldnt hold your breath...

Good Luck

i cant beleive u can get ur car impounded for wheel spinning thts stupid wht next? anyways didnt think they could stop ya when theres only 1 ov em, i thought there had to b 2 ov em or at least a witness

[DaxVTR]

i am looking on the bright side

Nothing

i also have two witness's to day i didnt wheel spin

One copper

how could she possbily prove this :S


If there was only one police officer in the car, your car wouldnt of got seased with out camera evidence, in court the officers word counts for exactly the same as yours does. id apeal the fine, your word against her's, she cant make it stick one bit.

if somones already beat me to it then - sorry :D

[Lewis1600]

I'm wondering If you'd be saying that If an uninsured boy racer in a stolen car drove down your street at 50 mph and knocked down one of your family or something?

I'm willing to bet that then it will be "Why didn't the police do anything?"

As said, I'd much rather they stopped people for nothing, than didn't stop anyone, and people got away with things, just to keep you happy.

im going to have to argue with you on this one of my mates got smashed into by a drunk driver, i was present straight into the back of his car wrote his 5 hour old car off lol, they took off up the road i gave chase on foot shouting abuse thinking it was theiving chav scum.

i caught up heard a bang and theyd smashed into a parked van ripped the front wheel off then i saw the reverse lights come on and the car trying to get away but not getting anywhere, i ran right up to the car ready to beat the shit out of them. (this is the amusing part sort of) was my cousins ex mrs driving with 3 mates of course by that time i didnt know what to say and i couldnt be angry she was crying blardy blar and extremely sorry but ill cut the story short.

she was drink driving and got scared and tryed to drive off TWICE, i dont care who she was, this could of been one of those what if they hit your nan or kids and shed of still done the same tryed to drive off and could of killed somone.

SHE GOT 6 MONTHS BAN FOR GOING ON A DRUNK DRIVING AWARENESS COURSE, and HERES THE PISSTAKE, HER LICENCE STRAIGHT BACK.

SHE GOT AWAY with DRIVING OFF in court and her licence handed back to her straight after 6 months.

now ill give you a scenario me driving down the motorway at 110mph(fastish but driving perfectly safe at that speed TAXED,MOTD,INSURED all legal)

i get pulled by the police itll definately go to court ill probably get at least a 12 month ban and heres the laugh, ill DEFINATELY have to retake all of my driving test all over again.

so ive not tried to drive off, not even caused an accident, just been speeding and i face harsher penaltys than somone who was drunk driving, actually caused an accident then tried to leave the scene of an accident that could of killed somone. that is not right at all.:wall:

but point is she did get done what should of been the book thrown was a little slap on the wrist, and this guy here with the civic has ended up paying out more on this load of bollocks than what she did.

so its all good checking cars but thing is most of the targetted cars will be us lot who probably are all legal they wouldnt check a car like my cousins ex whos never been in the car scene and the standard cars probably commit more offences than any of us lot do.:n:

Good post, very good point too mate, I see 100% where your coming from, It's just so many people needlessly abuse the police, because they're 'the police'.

I like to think of it in similar terms to building/contracting (for example). You have a bad job done by somebody, and it isn't instantly "oh all builders are wankers" or "no builders do their job properly", most people will view it, as that individual builder is the "wanker" who "can't do his job properly", not stereotype. Where as with the police, one bad experience with one policeman, and instantly all police are the spawn of satan.

Yes there are a lot of Police around that aren't fit to be Police IMO, but I don't think it's fair to slander the reputation for the ones that do their job well, and are trying to serve the community.

[Stickyjam]

japman if your unemployed start spending your time claiming your money back write some letters... atleast chase it up.

[furiomike]
