bit ott, but the bloke shouldnt have driven off when they tryed to give him a ticket.

[Bald Ed]

Reasonable force???????

I think not, just high on power. Are the police going to pay the costs for the damage to his car I'm sure that will come to more than the £300 pounds the courts charged the driver with.

Yes he should not have driven off but the police knew who the driver was and that he was an elderly man. Too much IMO.

The police will have been in possession of the facts, it was his car and he was an elderly (possibly) confused gent.

 

Some of the elderly can be stubborn but it is a case where the police officers discression should have been used.

 

There was no need for blues and twos, the guy wasn't speeding and he pulled over and complied eventually.

 

All they had to do was follow him and use a bit of common sense. The elderly gent could have suffered a stroke or heart attack and I would have laid the blame firmly with the policeman braying the shite out of his drivers window.

 

He should have drew baton and threatened to hit the window if he didnt switch off the engine and open the door, instead he just laid straight in, bad coppering in my opinion

Typical, easy target = easy shift

 

i dont see them pulling out 20 year old chavs in there rangerovers when everyone knows drug money bought the car, a bunch of bullies drunk on power.

Jesus, doesnt set a very good example does it?

 

 

 

Pure luck that the guy didnt have another heart attack/stroke

& I thought that it was just the Met that acted like a gang of hired thugs.

[Dean Lofthouse]

He didnt even check to see if the door was open before he smashed the shite out of the window, very poor coppering

[jamesw]

really OTT but i didn't see the first part where he drove off either! and his story sounds extremely weak:sneaky2: reminds me of that video where the coppers were caught out hitting a squaddie on the floor.
