a plane, a helicopter and a video surviellance car to nick and prosecute a woman who was eating any apple at the wheel of the car. what was the benefit? - a £60 fine.


I'm sorry - but even i say HAVEN'T THESE FCUKS GOT ANYTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR TIME? GO CATCH BURGULARS

it's a joke.

Yeah n it cost £10k to take it to court!

its not up to the police if things go to court though...fair does they fucked up but court costs arent there fault

I didnt say it was....but the whole affair is ridiculous from start to finish.

the CPS should have taken the view that is was a waste of finance and not worth prosecuting.


admittedly - we don't know all the facts.

...It was a Golden Delicous.

lucky they had that high definition camera - it could have been mistaken for a granny smith!

God forbid!

...I mean a detail like that could have swung the case!

we can sleep soundly knowing our tax pennies are doing us justice!

boiled my blood when i heard this on the radio this morning. what an absolute joke. i love the way the police say they were obliged to collect evidence. common sense needs to be applied in these situations, unfortunately in the police and the cps we have two public authorities who quite frequently show themselves to be completely inept when discretion is required. the cps also should shoulder just as much of the blame for allowing it to goto court as the officer in charge of sanctioning this ridiculous waste of public money.

:evil:

she was in my year :laugh:

tell her shes an arse.

will do

Complete piss take most real crimes happen and fuck all gets done about eat an Apple and its a Code Red FFS !!!

she shouldve paid the 30 quid fine in the first place.she did break the law after all

but that the thing... in her eyes she didn't think it was effecting her driving at all...

end of the day the policeman who stopped her thought she was talking on a mobile and didn't want to look stupid so tried to get her done for eating an apple... 10 grand to save his face. bargain.

I know her Lol, she used to play football at Temple Park when I did! Fucking ridiculous tbf, the thing is the Policeman said her driving wasn't affected at all, she did her manouver 'perfectly'!

Is it illegal to smoke at the wheel? Cos I would think that would be more dangerous Bet the police feel like fools now its been made a joke of

In this case changing gears, witching on/off air vents/conditioning (especially the one furthest from the drivers seat) and biting your nails at the wheel should all be illegal.

not to mention flicking radio stations or changing a CD..
