The arresting officer should have all the costs to the public purse wasted in the processing of the case deducted from his salary imo.
This reminded me of an even more ludicrous case last year, also in Scotland , of an old fella who was walking out of a shop and dropped a tenner on the ground.Two policemen who were stood nearby called him back,told him to pick it up, and then issued him with a fine for littering. :o >:(

Catch it, Bin it, Kill it.

The guy was only doing what the government told him to do.  Yet another Brown failure. :)

A chat with a senior officer where he has it explained to him in unequivocal terms that he is" not suitable material" is long overdue methinks. ;) ::)

Did they confiscate his hanky with contents as evidence? The car was stationary, in neutral with the brake on.Obviously , he should have sneezed whilst driving and covered the inside of the windshield in snot, had his vision impared and crashed into the four officers who were standing around idley waiting for something to happen so they could meet the days quota....

What was the comedy sketch show where Rowan Atkinson played a copper who had arrested someone for wearing a loud shirt during the hours of darkness?

Hi everyone,just read in the Daily Mail that this copper had previously issued a guy a fine for littering,he had dropped a £10 note.
He,s not doing a lot of good for the image of the police in his area.
