I can't help responding to this one, I've just read it.Lot's of people complain about the actions of the police, claiming dodgy tickets etc. Most then go on to say"Oh it wasn't me, it was my friend". This absolves them from having to produce proof of the actual ticket. I frequently hear about "My mate who got a speed camera ticket for 51 in a 50 area". Nonsense.Another thing to consider is that a ticket is merely the Police allegation that an offence has been committed. If you feel aggreived, request a hearing at the court, and tell your story to a JP. Only the JP can make the guilty call. If you pay the fine, you are declaring your own guilt.The third factor is what the Police call the attitude test. Once you have given the Policeman his pedigree about revenue collecting, quotas and not having something more important to do ("Go catch a REAL criminal", or "Go pick on boy racers or gang members"), do you really think he is going to let you drive off with a warning? Odd, Policemen are people too, and don't like being treated badly.None of which may have been the case in the circumstances as outlined at the start of this thread, but I almost guarantee there is more to the story than the friend has to tell.Anyway, those are my musings.
