hard2miss Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'm not sure that the range rover with illegal high tint windows had a sticker saying "I'm a pensioner" in the back window. So they probably didn't see his age until they'd managed to gain access and pull him out of the vehicle.No and they won't have done a police check and it won't have come back as a 70 year old bloke...

MadnBad Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 This is a bit more of the video in question shame it's not all of it otherwise we could see the discourse before the police gave chase. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfF1WHLcG6k&NR=1 It was certainly over the top for the offence and as to whether he did bump one of the police or not we shall have to wait until after the disciplinary procedure, but i would think not or knowing the police they'd have done him for GBH. As you can see prior to stopping he drove in a perfectly safe normal fashion and i would assume he told the police of his heart condition and needing to get home for his pills or why else would he think he had a police escort. I imagine being attacked by his escort was a bit of a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamChiChi Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 No and they won't have done a police check and it won't have come back as a 70 year old bloke... Being 70 should not mean you are exempt from the law. Or is it only 20 year olds that should be able to have their windows smashed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 No and they won't have done a police check and it won't have come back as a 70 year old bloke... What is this police check? Do you mean checking who the vehicle is registered to? Which of course always returns the same person who is driving and not stopping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 so would you like the following done to you? "one officer attacked his Range Rover side window with a baton 15 times, while another climbed on to the bonnet and kicked the windscreen in." for say being caught 5mph over the speed limit? and saying youd had a stroke and a heart condition? They have on board cameras, do u really think they would do something stupid that would put their jobs at risk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 They have on board cameras, do u really think they would do something stupid that would put their jobs at risk? ..er, yes! Did you see the cctv footage of the special constable assaulting a member of the public? He must have known the area was covered by cameras but still beat up his victim.

Greybeard Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 They have on board cameras, do u really think they would do something stupid that would put their jobs at risk? .... In this case the 'something stupid' that might put their jobs at risk seems to have been recorded by the on board camera. Have you watched it ? The real mystery is how did Sky News got hold of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
