    Why is contempt to say that most drivers wouldnt even see the person in the back ?
    Your previous post stated that most members of "Joe Public" fail to see bright yellow speed camera boxes. If you can't see how that is contemptuous, I can't help you.

    And as for "warped little worlds", recent events would suggest that these are mainly inhabited by members of the Constabulary. Examples include the man who was accused of assault when photographing yobs outside his house; or the man who was restrained by six officers when he allegedly dropped an apple core; or the woman who was charged with incitement to racial hatred when telling a gang of drunken students to "go home" (two of them were Asian).

    Such examples of Police idiocy and political correctness are in the press every day, supporting the view that they are now only there to help collect NuLab's stealth taxes.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    In the context of drivers, the middles class is Representative of those who have something to loose, but don't have exceptional means with which to defend themselves. Contrast that with the very rich and/or powerful who can afford fancy lawyers. Then there are the underclass who cant/wont pay the fines and are probably driving illegally or dangerously at any speed.

    Much easier for plod to target the average motorist who strays a few mph over the speed limit. He/she is easily bullied into taking their punishment and plod gets a gold star from the home office, who can tell everyone that they're making the streets safer.

    As for your contempt for the general public, well thats evident in many of your previous posts. You last statement is so obviously contemptuous of the people that pay your wages that it defies further explanation.
    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
