Well, last year I sent a PACE statement in response to a NIP to Gwent autority and it went to whole way to court.
I had three magistrates who all looked and acted like the best buddies of the Police and quite frankly I wouldn't have trusted them to wash my car never mind preside over law, but this is the U.K. and the country has gone down the pan.
I was charged with speeding and failing to supply the name of the driver.
I was able to show that the police could not prove it was me driving without a confession.
Then the fun started.
Found guilty on both counts.
First they said I was guilty of failing to supply the name of the driver and using the PACE statement amounted to me attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Then despite the fact that they said the PACE form was not admissable hence me being guilty on not supplying details, they then said that the PACE form was an admission of guilt, therefore I was found guilty of speeding as well.
What a farce! Will I fight it? Cannot afford to and they know it, the British legal system has in my opinion become a joke, we need a revolution.
I was offered a job overseas a while back and this has swung me so in the next twelve months I'm out of this once great country, enough is enough.
Good luck everyone, but the fight is against a corrupt system, I expect even with a good ECHR result the British courts will still ignore peoples rights.
If I did decide to contest the decision how long have I got? Not that I really think I will.
