the police for are ******

[Perky]

ive just had ma car seized under section somthin....
the bastards.. got to pay 105 pound to get it back on monday...

[Leo]

erm what? they took you're car off you? why?

[Viper]

what did you do. you most probably deserved it...

[beastgtir]

No insurance or tax mate?

[stiffler69]

You worm!

[Leo]

fucking hate it when people start threads with a crumb of the information then you have to wait and fuck about finding the actual info half way through. aghhghhgg

[sim69er]

most probs that section 59 thing

[antonio]

most probs that section 59 thing

whats that given for??

[sim69er]

imagine an asbo but for your car, can be given for lots of things, being parked where you are not meant to, driving like a cock, etc etc but usually its like a 3strike thing and then they impound it

[Mitchell]

whats that given for??

[BENSAX3]

[PugDan]

Not enough infomation for me to agree with you, as it stands, your the willy. :)

[Barry123]

pwned.

[sim69er]

they must have taken his computer aswell;)

[hesslevtr]

nice thread

must of been doing something naughty

not liek there going to take you car away for fuck all

if you cant do the time dont do the crime

[Barry123]

if you cant do the time dont do the crime

...and if cant post all the details first time round, dont bother posting a thread.


I want to know why :panic:

[Viper]

he was selling his hoes out of his car..

[PugDan]

he was selling his hoes out of his car..
Damn brother, ive been done for that before.

[Viper]

yo man, its whack innit! dem bitches stealin mi hoes!

[BenSilverSaxo]

Had to be something pretty stupid its been taken away for because someone that calls someone a willy is a bit stupid themselves, especially when its the 5-0

[xxxvickxxx]

well they dont take cars away for no reason so you must of been acting stupid
they threatned me with my old car to have it seized so i listened to the warning and stopped being stupid

[jaybiss]

maybe they will crush it?

[boz]

a few idiots around my way have had there cars taken off them, think you get 3 days to pay up before the get rid of it by any means they want ie crushing it.

my mate had his bike impounded and they didnt give him the option to buy it out, just got crushed lol

[playgirl]

oh dear looks like u will be working a bit of over time lol

[Baz]

i wanna know what you done!

[Perky]

they said they had seen a blue saxo in my area driving around stupidly........... could not confirm that it was mine...... and it wernt me, i had only just come out.
i under took some old dick driving 20mph up the bypass near me. and they said it must of been me earlier. becouse of my dangerous driving then' I.E undertaking the old guy... there fuckin dicks....

[LittleDude101]

Its the police service not force lol

They are not allowd to take your car if they dont have relevent/sufficient evidence to prove its the one they are after

Undertaking is considered as dangerous driving, therefore they have reasonable grounds to do what they done under that section 59 thing

[antonio]

bit silly undertaking... plus the police dont work like that. they have no proof it was u so wouldnt have impounded. unless they realy knew it was you i.e got some officers taking down ur registration plate earlier ect.

something smells somewhat fishy :panic:

[Jackman]

Just doing there job at the end of the day.

but i dont think we're getting the whole story

[Perky]

thats the whole story... i was shocked my self... they said they had seen a blue saxo with alloys..... they couldnt even say weather they wer white alloys....

[Jackman]

thats the whole story... i was shocked my self... they said they had seen a blue saxo with alloys..... they couldnt even say weather they wer white alloys....

then surely they'd have no grounds to impound the car. and you can fight the case?

[Perky]

i have no idea.... i was as shocked as ever... it was some officer jobsworth... rantin on about young drivers being idiots... then he started writin his producer on the roof of my car...... dicks..

[Jackman]

complain...

i did when they performed a drugs raid on my car without a warrant and grounds to do so... and when i asked them why they were searching my car.. the reply was because i can now step away from the car.

i ended up in the back of the riot van.

[Mark51]

Just doing there job at the end of the day.

but i dont think we're getting the whole story

i was thinking the same mate, i got pulled for undertaking an old lady. she was doing 30mph on a 50mph dualcarrige way and they pulled me and just gave me a slap on the wrist

[Perky]

i think the problem was that they said they seen a idiot nailin around in a saxo earlier... which had alloys. so obviously i must have the only saxo with alloys so they decided it was me..... around my area all young lads in cars get shit of coppers... its pathetic

[Jackman]

i was thinking the same mate, i got pulled for undertaking an old lady. she was doing 30mph on a 50mph dualcarrige way and they pulled me and just gave me a slap on the wrist

ive had many a slap on the wrist.

i cant see why they would just impound a car because they think its done something wrong.

they would HAVE to prove it.

[Perky]

this was my thought on the problem... but obviously not... section somethin or other. ive been fined for bein on a car park and not parked in a proper place. and had a warning for my lights at the back bein to low.... the copper said "your car is lowered, so your rear lights are lower, people cant see them and it could cause a accident. I advice you to put your car back to its normal hight" its ridicul-arse

[Jackman]

if what your saying is true. thats pathetic. tell them go go arrest some real criminals.

[LittleDude101]

was it a marked car??

[Leo]

Id love to be you at this point (your story permitting) - id be laughing all the way to the bank. Sit back and let them crush you're car, then take them to court and sue. They cant crush your flipping car because they "assumed" it was you lol. You're either laughing all the way to the bank or chatting shit.

[Jackman]

Spot on:A:

[LittleDude101]

for some reason, I dont believe the story lol

no way, would a legit police office impound a car without reasonable grounds.

[mattc]

Oh dear. Do let us know how you get on :)

So you got pulled over before for your lights being too low n stuff? Did you get a S59 then? If you get an S59 and they see you doing ANYTHING wrong they are aloud to take your car and crush it. Well that's what the little piggy by the side of the road told me when I got my S59 for driving like a wanker.

So in that case if your car did get crused they could just say it was because you undertook you and looked you up to have an S59 on file already?

If you don't already have an S59 for being bad in the past I think you do have a pot to piss in as Leo said.

As harsh at it is on you do let us know how you get on i'm dying to know!

[rushy_23]

If cops Crushed my car cause they assumed it was me they would get it soo
soo bad. I WOULD be laughing my ass off so hard like Leo was saying cause
they would never ever hear the end of it.

I say let them do it and make em pay for it afterwards.

[Leo]

they only other explanation is, but this is a long shot.. you got scammed. People dress up as cops or whatever with fake ids and paperwork, and take cars. i highly doubt this though as i think they go for the expensive cars as its such a risky scam.

[Jackman]

I do feel theres a bit missing to the story.

but if you say your telling the whole truth then the police are out of order.

as said. sit back and laugh!

[Mitchell]

would be funny if he let them crush his car and then they find some proof that it was him afterwards lol

[Viper]

if you resent having your car taken soo much, maybe you will learn to be a more considerate driver..

it looks to me like YOU'RE the dick :y:

[PugDan]

if you resent having your car taken soo much, maybe you will learn to be a more considerate driver..

That's a little harsh!

If what your saying is true I feel for you.

I think theres some infomation missing though, or youve been seen driving like a twat before.

[Clarkson]

would be funny if he let them crush his car and then they find some proof that it was him afterwards lol

Lol.

Then he'd be in the shitter

[Perky]

just been to get my car... went a produced all documents... it got empounded becouse of a section 59 thing...................went to have a look at wer it was bein stored. and there was a guy there. so payed him and took car. i have no document or anything to say i have one of these 59 things.. so fuck no's

[Perky]

if you resent having your car taken soo much, maybe you will learn to be a more considerate driver..

it looks to me like YOU'RE the dick :y:

:homme: :homme: :homme: :homme: :homme: :homme:

[sim69er]

how much did you have to pay to get it back?

[Perky]

105 pound...

[jaybiss]

You need one section 59 before they take your car

so maybe the owner before got one?

[Perky]

ive had the car for like 2 and bit years ...... surely not

[Perky]

they checked my name through the police thing and my record came up... then it was when they checked my reg... that the section 59 thing came about

[Consett_chris]

i got a warning in my nova then 9 months later in my almera drove about 100 meters in a car park at a cruise without my seat belt on, and they confiscatedmy car because i had already had a warning thing.i felt a bit hard done by but thinkin about it they were within there ryts.neva mind i have learnt my lesson never drive with my fogs or seatlbelt off as it can be a esxpensive mistake lol

[sim69er]

i know that once you get that section 59 put on your car its a 3strike thing before they take it away

[Viper]

That's a little harsh!

If what your saying is true I feel for you.

I think theres some infomation missing though, or youve been seen driving like a twat before.

well, i disagree.. the police do not impound cars if they cannot prove their reasons, and if he was undertaking people, then im sorry, but he's a dick..

[Perky]

All hail Viper the one who does no rong..............

[Barry123]

All hail Viper the one who does no rong..............
no thats me.

ermmmm must be some messed up police force round your area... I'm not doubting you but with the information you've provided i find it very unlikely they would do that, have you been stopped before? had run-ins with the Feds?

I only ask because I can recall a few posts which suggested you drive like a pillock. Something to do with burnouts... bollocks i cant remember. Also isnt your car hiding a VTS under the hood? Is it declared through your insurance?
If not then i can see why they took it.

If of course I'm wrong then, I'll hold my hands up.

[Perky]

no thats me.

i put my fot down abit every now and then.....every one in the world does... and everything is declaired. im begining to think there may be a section 59 on my car from previous owner....

[Perky]

well, i disagree.. the police do not impound cars if they cannot prove their reasons, and if he was undertaking people, then im sorry, but he's a dick..

and under took ONE PERSON. NOT PEOPLE. and you saying im a dick. im gessing you have never undertook some1. or broke a spead limit. or done anything rong........ think not you DICK !!!!

[Yates]

surely the section 59 would go on the driver and not the car?

[Barry123]

i put my fot down abit every now and then.....every one in the world does... and everything is declaired. im begining to think there may be a section 59 on my car from previous owner....

thats cool - (personally i wouldnt put my foot down to the extent that I mince my tyres and dont move very far but hey ho)

I'd start putting together a letter of complaint or speak to a law firm regarding the matter then dude :)



Oh and I undertake all the time. I'm not moving into the fast lane at 50 to overtake some fool hangin the middle lane for no reason.

[Perky]

no idea..... i havnt got a sectuion 59 on me..... and the copper only had a problem after he took my reg

[Perky]

i dont do wheelspins or silly things like that..... far from it. drive shafts and tryes where quick enough as it is

[Viper]

no, i have never undertaken anyone. its bloody stupid! yes, i speed at times, but that is not what this thread is about.

i first called you a dick, because you were calling the cops dicks for doing their jobs.. but it appears to me to be your fault..

edit: if you think the section was from the previous owner, i would advise speaking to the police about it, and maybe even the DVLA?

[Didz]

thats really bad luck but there must be a reason for it, hope you get it back monday:)

[Jackman]

Im slightly confused why they would just impound your car because they think you have done wrong.

surely they would HAVE TO KNOW that you'd done wrong.

im not doubting you for a single second. but just seems...Farfetched.

[Perky]

i no.... wouldn't take much to crush a sax..... he could of just jumped on roof

[Jackman]

i no.... wouldn't take much to crush a sax..... he could of just jumped on roof

just consider yourself lucky for now then. and dont undertake again ;)


how exactly did the police see you. didnt you see them?

[Viper]

nooo, i wasnt judging due to the car.. just what i had gathered from the thread :) i wouldnt say your car is a chav car either.. i havnt seen a good pic of it for a while, but i think its realy nice, but could do without the sunstrip :P

get your ass onto the other end of the phone to DVLA/cops :y:

[Perky]

just consider yourself lucky for now then. and dont undertake again ;)

ye i saw them.... i just thought they would understand....... a stupid old guy crawling along..... its just coz im a young lad i think...

[Jackman]

ye i saw them.... i just thought they would understand....... a stupid old guy crawling along..... its just coz im a young lad i think...

Doh! they could of just given you a slap on the wrist.

thats nuts.

bit silly to do it when you saw them though. shoulda waited for them to go out of site ;)

i think im just gona leave it... ive tried to argue with dvla and police before... never win......

was jokin about chav car.... all saxo's are chav cars....Ha Ha Ha

[LittleDude101]

the section 59 would be on the driver, not the car... anyone can drive anyones car in theory, so that would be unfair.

I take it the car is registered in your name?

When the police run the reg through the PNC (police national computer) it comes up with the owner, owner details, insurance etc. It also comes up with notes about your car, such as if someone else has complained about you to the police and they have it on record... It could be that you have been seen speeding or whatever, this being the result

[Perky]

Doh! they could of just given you a slap on the wrist.

thats nuts.

bit silly to do it when you saw them though. shoulda waited for them to go out of site ;)

the bypass is about half mile long. and it was right at begining of it........ he would of just follwed me till i done something rong.

it could be anything like that i suppose... just a little harsh i feel

[LittleDude101]

it could be anything like that i suppose... just a little harsh i feel

harsh yes, but it all depends what has been said about your car.

At the end of the day, car crime is being hit on hard at the minute, mainly from dangerous driving to defective vehicles.

[DavoVTR]

well, i disagree.. the police do not impound cars if they cannot prove their reasons, and if he was undertaking people, then im sorry, but he's a dick..

mate, please tell me your having a laugh?

Either you're takin the piss or you've never been pulled before. Coppers are KNOBS to young lad drivers, any excuse to pull you over, search your car, give you a ticket etc and they'll do it, and make you suffer. I think this lads been unfairly treated and the copper is out of order with the "your lights are too low, it could cause an accident" thing, what a fucking cunty thing to say. If you we're a celeb in a naturally low sports car he'd have pulled you over and said "nice car mate, can i get a pic and an autograph for my boy.... yea, he's called PC Johnson.... Errr I mean, little Johnny"

I've had a fair few run-ins with the law, each time I've been correct, proved I was right and complained. Never got anything like an appology just a "ok, you don't have to pay the fine" etc. I even complained about one incident when I got pulled for drink driving, I hadn't been drinking but I had been working in a pub. Got breath tested and when it came up clean, he did it again saying "it mustn't be working, it says no trace" so I questioned him and said "if it had come up positive would I be tested again?" and he said "no, you'd be nicked" - I tried to complain on the Monday when I produced all my docs, and the young lad behind the counter "i'm sorry but they haven't booked the incident in so if you complained it would get binned because as far as we can see, they haven't pulled you over"

WHAT??????

They're KNOBS!

[LittleDude101]

the police arent knobs - some officers are

[DavoVTR]

yea i agree.... the traffic officers! Seen as though they're the one's who bother me.....

[LittleDude101]

Still disagree mate, when ive been pulled over they have been fine with me

[DavoVTR]

Hellps if ya give 'em a blowy :homme:

don't take that seriously....

[Barry123]

WHAT??????

They're KNOBS!

Right I disagree totally. I've been pulled for lets face it a pretty serious offence. They were totally fine with me, even joked. why? Because I was polite, obviously apologetic and did what they asked me to do and I was lippy.

Davo, how come you've been pulled so many times? Other than the one incident I have never been pulled. Feds dont look for a car with a young person in it and decide to nab them. Either there is something glaringly wrong with the car or the driver is being a dick (in both instances I'm happy for the police to do their job)

Calling them knobs is not only wrong but also suggests you arent particularly bright either or dont conduct yourself properly around the Feds

[Yates]

i try not to undertake, il just keep flashing my lights, if they didnt get the hint id probs undertake, altho id check my mirrors for police cars, maybe next time you should do this fella ;)

[LittleDude101]

Hellps if ya give 'em a blowy :homme:

don't take that seriously....

lol, very good :clapping: showing respect also helps

[MarkyG]

Some officers are a bit twatty unless they are family, good thing my uncle works for the met and not essex police! only officer i can stand is him, the rest just do you for whatever reason they can.

I remember a few years ago (slips into daydream) i got fined £30 and 3 points when i was 18 (long time ago now) for doing 20 in a 30. Hadnt been drinking, and my cigarettes werent made of wacky baccy! very strange. Standing at the side of the road with the two officers, when a BMW Z3 went past and they clocked him at 67mph in the 30 zone and just said "oh well, cant catch him now!". cheeky mudrollers.

[Yates]

Have to agree with Ad here, there are a small number that are knobs, ive been pulled a few times when i had the r, once goin round the round about, late on fast, not above the speed limit but stil fast for around about, got out n was talkin to the fella for bout 20mins or so bout my car n that, he was fine, didnt even tell me off just said take it easy, if you are good with them then it gives them no reason at all to be arsey with you

[LittleDude101]

just because you have a bad experience with a couple of police, doesnt make all of us c***s

[MarkyG]

thats true matt, if you are polite 9/10 they will just let you go. I was accused of doing 120mph down the a130 near me from basildon to chelmsford.

Had my girlfriend and 3 others in the car, barely pushing 80mph, they said they chased me all the way from basildon apparently, i never saw them when i joined the a130, but hey, they'll lie through the skin of their teeth tog et you going!

120mph with 5 people in the car?? no mods to the VTR either??? I wish!

[MarkyG]

sorry my bad, all police officers from chelmsford and maldon and a few surrounding areas who are either traffic or standard bobby's. they just give out the evil looks as if you do something wrong all the time. Cheer up Police! put a smile on your face!

Davo, how come you've been pulled so many times? Other than the one incident I have never been pulled. Feds dont look for a car with a young person in it and decide to nab them. Either there is something glaringly wrong with the car or the driver is being a dick (in both instances I'm happy for the police to do their job)

Calling them knobs is not only wrong but also suggests you arent particularly bright either or dont conduct yourself properly around the Feds

I haven't been pulled since having my VTR....

The times i used to get pulled, was when I had a STANDARD pug106. The reasons we're mainly along the lines of "its late at night, what you doing out?" or "there's 2 young lads driving a car thats easy to knick" and I have never been "lippy" to a copper. I don't speed, take drugs, drink drive, drive like a knob etc etc - I have never had any points, and the only time I've "broken the law" and paid a fine fairly was when my parking ticket ran out. I was happy to pay this fine as this was my error/mistake whatever... I was in the wrong, so I paid. No arguments.

Not bright? Far from it, I know when I'm right and I know the law. I'm not "soft/shy" so I don't sit their and let them use their little bit of power to get 1 over on me. There is a difference in being "lippy" and knowing your rights, knowing the rules and KNOWING what a copper can and can't do. If you sit their and let them tell you BULLSHIT they will continue to get away with it, and therefore are "not doing their jobs properly" - I accept that it depends on the copper and circumstances etc. and I have previously been pulled before for a routine check of my car, to which I had no complaints as the copper was polite, explained what he was doing, why he was doing it and after he didn't give me a producer or anything because there was nothing wrong with my car, and I was doing nothing wrong at the time when he pulled me. Everyone has good/bad experiences - I seem to mainly have had bad experiences.

[DavoVTR]

just because you have a bad experience with a couple of police, doesnt make all of us c***s

Thought as much.... :P

[MarkyG]

feds? we dotn have "feds" over here! only Police.

don't think you deserve your car to be siezed because or that!! but you are a noob for doing it though!!

although i don't think your giving us the full story here mate! they wouldn't sieze your car if they couldn't prove anything! so come on.... what did you do!?

[S34MER]

[yorkie]

they only other explanation is, but this is a long shot.. you got scammed. People dress up as cops or whatever with fake ids and paperwork, and take cars. i highly doubt this though as i think they go for the expensive cars as its such a risky scam.


this happened around york afew months ago un-marked volvo withe all the lights and sirons

[Dan]

Think this has got its point across.

I dont for one second believe they seized your car on a 'hunch' that you might of been the saxo driver, I think there's a little more to the story personally. If I'm wrong then so be it.

Oh and by the way the police are NOT cunts, twats, nobs or what ever. You were in the wrong for undertaking in the first place so they had every right to pull you for the reckless driving.

Dont call them for doing there jobs.
