A Result? Or a 'Cop' Out?

Well I actually got a reply back from PC Plod regarding the complaint I made about the speeding police man.

Im not going to re-print here the text of the e mail, as I haven't asked for permission from Lincoln police, but the the gyst of it was that they would like to assure me they had carried out a thorough investigation, and the policeman who I complained about was driving an alleged violent criminal from a domestic (reading between the lines, a wife beater) dispute from Gainsborough to Lincoln. However, the policeman in question couldn't recollect the incident, as it was a few week since it took place (about 3 weeks). They assure me that they will continue to monitor the officer in questions driving ability.

Well thats just great isn't it?! The last time I got a ticket was when I was late for my Grandads funeral...I wonder if I would have got anywhere with that as my defence?!

So, next time you get a ticket, it seems all you have to do is say it happened so long ago you have 'no recollection' of the *alleged* incident, and wave my e mail under their noses

I wonder how far that will get you?

Ah well, at least I got a response...

basically the same as i got, they must have a stock set of excuses and fob offs for when we, their employers, complain about them.
