There is method to the madness my friend, it creates an atmosphere if you will, which helps Andy open up.
For example, we have just learned he sped off after his wife received the fine, this we were unaware of until now??
If you over exaggerate on there behalf, they must go in to more detail to explain the true events.
As you will see from Andys reply…. “floored my 2.0 litre motor and took off at about XXX MPH !!! they were fuming !!!!”
Perhaps, just perhaps, he is playing you at your own game

(at least I hope he is)
Have you read his posts??! He hasn’t the brain capacity.
The events stated are comical, just absurd.
He has no proof the PCSO had the “prior opinion” , in fact he has just let slip that they were together at the laser.
He knows the PC is not a traffic officer, however in his series of events the PC makes no mention of being or not being a traffic officer.
Yes Andy I am talking to you in the soap box thread, you can tell it’s me because my name is **mike** in that thread, as it is **mike** in this thread.
10 points for observation.
I don’t know about wannabees but I would certainly wannabe one of the PCSOs or PC who you met at the road side.
Andy PCSOs can arrest, as can you as a citizen.
The principle civilian powers of arrest fall under two headings:
• the power vested in both police officers and ordinary citizens to arrest in relation to a breach of the peace (see R v Howell 73 Cr. App R. 31).
• the power conferred by section 24 of PACE (Archbold 15-161 to 15 - 162):
a. to arrest anyone who is in the act of committing an arrestable offence or anyone whom the arrestor has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be committing an arrestable offence (S. 24(4)); and
b. where an arrestable offence has been committed, anyone who is guilty of having committed the offence or anyone the arrestor has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be guilty of having committed it (S. 24(5)).
Please type in to Google “Section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967” and look at Public order.
