i still dont trust those speed guns i got caught with one and i said i was doing 67 and it recorded me at 64 so i wasnt far off and i admitted that i was speeding and it was my fault

but after i drove off i thought to my self he could just pull a random car of and show them the speed on the gun and say yeah you were doing 62 theres no photo on the gun

easy

Utterly ridiculous conviction. The motorist was stopping other people from committing an offence, he was not obstructing a police officer from catching someone who HAD committed an offence !!

Is it wrong then to persuade someone not to commit a burglary?

Or if a guy is about to start a fight, is it wrong to say "don't, it's not worth it", on the basis that you are interfering with an opportunity for the police to arrest someone for GBH?

if flashing your head lights is to warn other you are there why did the guy in the news not say he was warning other he was there lol

Because he isn't too bright, if he was, he would have let the illegal speeding drivers get their justice.

He did not obstruct a police officer because there is no evidence that he flashed anyone who was committing an offence. He obviously had rubbish legal representation because there is case law to support this and he should never have been convicted.

As for flashing his headlights - this is something of a red herring. He was not prosecuted for flashing his headlights (which in any event would results in a non-endorsable fixed penalty). He was prosecuted for obstructing a police officer.

Exactly! Anyway, he is now appealing and will, without doubt, win that appeal.
