Can't see anywhere where it mentions dealing with road tax. Perhaps YOU can provide a valid link which states the police can/will seize a vehicle for just having no tax. And I don't mean when supporting or assisting the DVLA.

See that's it tilt you're a Google merchant and aren't alway right.

Have you ever read the Vehicle Excise Duty Regs 1997?

No, I didn't think so else you'd know an authorised person is a police officer. :rotfl:

You are simply clutching at straws here. You know (or should know) very well what context of involvement by the police I have been talking about. You are simply highlighting a different kind of involvement by the police to assist the removal of an untaxed vehicle. I did say; "And I don't mean when supporting or assisting the DVLA". Which is what their involvement would most likely be. The legislation does indeed state "authorised person" who could also be a local authority employee. Well equally, such an employee cannot issue a FPN.

It dosn't matter how you paint this, I don't think road duty is subject to the RTA and as such, isn't specifically a police matter, it's as simple as that. But if you can provide a link showing the specific offence that the police may be interested in, feel free.

(2) An authorised person may be a local authority, an employee of a local authority, a member of a police force or any other person.

I'm not talking about assisting, I'm talking about being an authorised person where it be a DVLA enforcement or police officer. The legislation gives both the power..

You don't have think road duty is subject to the RTA, it isn't, nor is red diesel but there are powers for the police to deal with both.

The authorised person may be a police officer if they are authorised by the Secretary of State as such, not is a police officer.

Ok, but can they do it or not under that act?

To save the if arguement they have been authorised by the Secretary of State.

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove by prolonging this. You have only been a member for 5 minutes and you seem hell bent on alienating other members by knit-picking and arguing when it serves absolutely no benefit to the thread.

But to answer your last point; the "powers" that you call them simply are for the police to report the matters to the relevant agencies who are responsible for that respective enforcement. Road duty; DVLA. Red diesel; Inland Revenue. The police themselves do not issue FPN's for either.

Thank you and good night.

What "act"?

Considering the length of the pointless argument you've had with me, that's a bit rich isn't it?

So as a long standing member it's ok for you to post factually incorrect information?
