If this was a private prosecution they would have kept going until they got their money or the defendant was bankrupt
I wonder how many police signed off on this whole process? Seems unlikely to be a single dickhead officer could get this to court on his own?
Still, shouldn’t be too harsh, I imagine it must be hard to find genuine police stuff to do these days?.
>Mr Wood continued: ‘Our vehicles must be unmarked as they are kept at our homes.
Why does the ambulance have to be unmarked if it’s kept at their homes?
Seems a bit odd for the ambulances to be kept at their homes rather than at an ambulance depot or other dedicated facility.
Trying to distract myself with a bit of Reddit and I see an old mate. Wild, he’s a lovely guy too. Really passionate about his jon
What a waste of court time. Would love to be a fly on the wall listening to the officer(s) concerned who thought this was case was worth taking to court. Cretins !
There are times where I feel we’ve become a pathetic pish stain of a country.
I hate the term ‘Ambulence Driver’ it is so 1970s. This guy was a private specialist first responder for the airport.
The first problem for him, though, is that he is unlikely to be blue-light trained or marked, so speeding would be a no-no, and he should know that.
