I'm hearing that a PACE witness statement response to an unwanted NIP will eventually -possibly- lead to a court case.

At the end of September, the 'right to silence' issues will be heard in the Grand Chamber of the ECHR. Most people appear to believe that Government UK will lose this case.

The load on the courts is large enough that a PACE response now is very unlikely to get into court before the ECHR ruling is published.

I also believe that those who provide 'PACE witness statements' will be very well placed to benefit from the ECHR ruling.

Looks like no one should be admitting to being the driver right now on the form provided. But how strong and solid is this? What would I need to do to convince journalists that the conclusions and assumptions in this post are true?
