I do not have hatred for police officers, they do a wonderful and dangerous job but they are not trained to protect you from fees and charges that are thrown at us everyday, a lot of police officers have left the force for whisleblowing on coruption within.

97mph in a 70mph zone, did you know you could cause a fatal accident at 97mph going through a 70mph zone, dissgusting Inca.

You're very lucky you only got a fine, Inca. If you had had a blowout at that speed, it is unlikely you would have survived an impact. In fact, it is very likely you would have been declared dead at the scene. You got off lightly.

What you say is true, Legalese. A lot of officers I was on the force with have taken early retirement or, simply, resigned to escape the corruption and political interference that is going on within police forces throughout the UK.

Re: Penalty points - speeding

I know you may find this outrageous but they are not magistrate courts they are administrative courts that use magistrate court premises, if you been to a court of law you will find that cases are split up from each other ie council tax hearings from 10am to 11:30am then traffic from 11:30am to 1pm later comes the criminal law of assaults, thefts, criminal damage etc. Yes unbelievable but true.

That's always been the case, legalese. When I was on the force, the charge court (criminal charges) was in the morning and the process court (CT, bus lanes) was in the afternoon. On certain days of the week, the traffic court was held. In my experience, JPs should be abolished as they simply rubber-stamp everything. District judges (professionals) seem to do a better job and at least they listen, something JPs do not.

Then it's up to people to make a noise about it and demand the politicians put a stop to it. They need to remember they are servants of the people, not their masters.
