So why do you argue so many legal issues with people who have experience?
Because they have no more experience with the law than I. How many members of this forum are solicitors. Are you a solicitor?The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

Jeez, have not read my posts? :wall:The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
But, if I were to advice the OP of anything, it would be to access his legal cover with his motor or home insurance and to take real advice from a solicitor.
So you don't think that they should accept that they broke the law and put other peoples life in danger. And that they should take the punishment, and learn from it??0 -

This, from someone who has difficulty stringing a sentence together and can't even tell who they are quoting, or even recognise answers to questions. :TThe greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

An ex police officer would have more experience in law than you.
No I'm not a solicitor, but I'm not trying to give legal advice (as you are). I am saying what I think the OP should do morally.0 -

Indeed I do, but that wasn't the point of the debate. The point was the incorrect assumption that a District Judge would accept poor excuses from a possibly incompetent police officer.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

I have not given any advice, neither legal nor otherwise.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
I have no advice for the OP. I was merely pointing the incorrect assumption that tat a District Judge can just accept a, "sorry, your honour, I made a mistake. The defendant wasn't there," as an acceptable excuse to get a charge wrong and that the District Judge is more likely to throw the case out, as a punishment for the officer, to make sure he doesn't get it wrong again. District Judges disapprove of mistakes by police officers more than they disapprove of drivers jumping traffic lights. Because the officer's mistakes is likely to do more damage to the process of law, than the driver.
But, if I were to advice the OP of anything, it would be to access his legal cover with his motor or home insurance and to take real advice from a solicitor.
So you wanted to measure your man hood and your ability to google legal info.
So you just waste peoples time basically.
I have never seen a district judge in a magistrates court which is were this will go if the op rejects the FPN.
They will then need to employ a legal council if they don;t have full legal cover on there car insurance and that if they havent told them to take FPN already.
Its barley 50/50 thats madge doesn;t take the coppers statement as gosbel.
I have yet to meet a duty solictor who will fight someone cause on FPN. They like getting burgulars off so they can break into someone elses house.
So take 60 and 3 points as they failed to comply with the light. If they had kille your love one you would be going to sun saying the got off cause the copper got the bloody road wrong!0 -

And you know that for sure with you limited legal experience do you??
If the OP follows your advice it could cost them a fortune in legal fees, and they could still get a fine and ponts. However if they take the fixed penalty they get a £60 and 3 points. So which do you think is the best advice for them to take?0
