Can I just clarify something here;
Are some people saying a man can get the registration number of a female car driver, then just walk into a police station, claim she's hit his car and the police will give him the name and address of a female car owner (registered keeper)?
If so, I think that's one for the media to highlight.
A little sexist, male/elderly/young/disabled etc could all be put at risk.0 -

It was only when this guy turned up going mental a short time later she knew anything about it...
All I know is what she told me, she says he told her he viewed cctv in the shop, took her reg from that, went to police station, and someone there gave him her address!!!
She lives about 3miles away from the shop, on a new build estate which is a right maze, right up the back at the end of a cul de sac.. there is no way he would randomly drive around and find her car...
So she did hit the car then.0 -
Did she hit the car? Any damage to her car?0

The simplest explanation is the most likely.
Which is that someone told him her address- so we are back at the "Did the Police tell him?" question, and again applying Occam's Razor, the answer has to be yes.
Far more likely than he cruised rabbit warrens of streets for an hour looking for the car, or that he followed her home and sat in his car for a whole hour before knocking the door.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

No, the simplest explanation is NOT that the desk operator at the police violated all PNC access rules, data protection laws, and basic tenets of privacy - as well as speed records...0

Someone must have told him though is still the simplest explanation, most people just wouldn't work that hard at tracing someone.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
