Many yeras ago i was done for speeding, the details on the sumons was wrong, the location was wrong, my name was wrong and my registration number was wrong.
I went to court and pleaded not guilty and was told by the magistrate that if i continued to pleade not guilty then the court would just cancell the sumons and re issue another one with the corect details in it.

The officer who stopped me lied left right and centre on the documents that he filled in but I`m afraid the courts will always take the coppers word for it as there deemed to be a proffesional and impartial whitness.

In the end I was advised to plead guilty so as to reduce the fine.

My own feeling are that your on a hidding to nothing, unfortunatly there are rotten eggs in every basket and police forces are no exception.

If its worth anything I was done by the MET by a traffic officer based in Bromley and beleive it or not he actually came looking for me at my place of work after the case to find out what the outcome was.
