What do you think it means?

Being available to anyone with access to a national system isn't internal to Police Scotland.

... Amazing....

It will be internal to anyone with access to the Police National Database... Not Joe Bloggs. Agree this is an "internal" marker. Police will also place them on vehicles if they have been reported as dangerous driving by members of the public. It's mainly an "oh this one may have been naughty before, if it's border line give it a tug will ya" marker.

If you have one but you drive in accordane with the law etc then you'll never know about it. They can be put on cars for numerous reasons: public report, officer report, previous connection to crimes (ie if a prevous stop has led to drugs in the vehicle - common one for people to get pulled on when they've bought a second hand car... also easy to get removed once you know it's there and you prove you've bought the vehicle and no connection etc)

OP - you could as easily have had an officer in a car with the appropriate equipment in the car and you could have had a lovely lot of points.

More importantly - you were doing 95mph: take it from someone who deals with accidents as part of my job, 95mph makes a horrendous mess. All it takes is a blow out on an empty road, a bit of water or a car without it's lights (happens especially in winter...) and it all gets far more serious than a marker on the police database.

Can you evidence this or have you just made it up?

Not in any detail that I'm willing to discuss here but yes.

So it's something you've made up then.

The apology I once got from a a fairly senior officer suggests otherwise.

Thanks for your reply. I've been accused of 95 in a 70. I wasn't actually doing 95.

If you say so.

You can't add anything to back up your comment and there's no reason why something that's been dealt with cannot be discussed. Most forces would take the opposite view to what you originally posted but as you seem update on police discipline regs maybe you could educate us.

She's talking rubbish so I wouldn't listen to any of that.
