Where do we draw the line here though, what is the definition of nearly illegal ?

They are there to enforce the law, not make it.

The tyres were due to be changed anyway.

 

 

 

A very bitter taste indeed.

Sadly I have no faith what so ever in Essex police, they really are nothing but incompetent imo

In our last incident it took them 30 minutes to get here, when they did the officers said "sorry we have taken so long to get here but our resources are so tight we have had to travel a fair way to get here" and that was at 2am in the morning.

I have nothing wrong with what they are doing in theory but it is obviously being done at the expense of community policing, living and driving a lot in the county these types of checks are becoming scarily common, and the resources they use is shocking.

 

They can't be that tight. I had one turn up in a marked car in uniform to pick up something he had bought from me on Gumtree.

It was you who used the term "nearly illegal", my guess would be a few hundred miles from being illegal.

 

What did they say would happen if the tyres weren't changed??

 

You are always free to choose to go to court rather than accept a fixed penalty or some other instruction from a police officer.

 

I didn't bother to ask her what the options were, she was told to take it to the nearest garage, get tyres fitted and return to them to prove she had them fitted.

I would be pretty sure that if they decided to go to court over nearly illegal tyres it would make an interesting case, It's either illegal or not, that's why we have a legal minimum tyre depth.
