As mentioned earlier I have received a notification of intended prosecution for "allegedly" jumping a red light.
I received form 1 asking me if I was the driver at the time of the alleged offence. I returned the form saying yes at the time stated I was the driver. I received today a form offering me a conditional offer of attending a "respect the red light" course in Liverpool at a cost of £60, coincidentally the same cost as the fine but importantly NO points! I telephoned to ask for the photographs as I don't think I went throughout the light on red, to be told that I couldn't have them as I had already admitted the offence. No I hadn't I said all I had done was admit driving the car at the time and would need to see the pictures to assess if I had committed the offence. Returning the form, I was told was admission of the offence, a discussion then ensued where I pointed out that I am sure the basic principle of justice in this country is one of innocent until proven guilty! I was assured that I was not entitled to the pictures as the police had looked at them and decided I had committed the offence, if I wanted to see them I had to request them through the magistrates court! That's fair I have to go to all the hassle and cost to the public purse for something that could be sorted out by sending me the pictures. Oh and by the way if you request the pictures you cannot then afterwards have the option of the respect the red light course! Well that sounds fair I said.
So bollocks to you if it's that important to you I will pay the fine and take the points! So there that's taught you fascist police pigs a lesson I will not lie down and be trodden on! No wonder the youth of today have so little respect for the Police they do themselves no favours. It makes me want to stir the spirit in my mate the Overgraduate and join forces and march with the students in protest next time, who knows I may even burn a copy of a book like the pastor in USA was suggesting, can't be worse than burning poppies!
