Title: Traffic Cops BBC 1 8pm tonight.
Post by: theowletman on 02 April 2008, 10:41:57
Apart from looking for interesting cars, see how much police time is wasted by people giving false details. Surely they should be charged automatically with deception or trying to pervert the course of justice or something similar with say, an automatic 28 days inside for lying about who they are. Is this possible ? Seems like it would save a lot of time. Perhaps some of our members in blue could comment ?

I'm sure its in the Human nature when stressed to lie.

When training new staff for my unit the first and most important rule is

"No matter what they say, assume they are wrong, mistaken or lying"

and

"Where there is no truth, logic prevails"

My job would be so much quicker if they just tell us what really happend and not what they think we want to hear

When I trained new guys on my unit it was 'watch your back'

Not many people have the spine to admit fault hence lieing

And no matter how much of a scumbag a person maybe we are all innocent until proven guilty.............unless you're in North Wales where the Chief Cunstable seems to be waging a war on all road users.

The UK is Policed by public consent.

If the Police keep kicking Joe Public in the knackers projects like Crimewatch etc wont work as well....how can you expect people to help when they get EFPN and FPN day in day out when discretion may have been the better solution? ? ? ?

I have often found the most blatant liars are those who know the system...whether from Policing it or being processed through it.

All you have to do is raise enough doubt..................

I cant see the point of lying to the police these days, because if they are unsure of your details, they nick you until its all sorted out.
Everyhting is that high-tec these days, they usually have you sorted before they even stop you.
Its just not worth trying to get away with anything.

Well it seems that the offender can be charged with obstruction, only right as well, should be an automatic charge if false details are given.
