Its literally a legal procedure

I think you need to read up one that procedure.

waamo

You say you've been given 6 points. How did you plead at your trial?

I can imagine two police officers in the West Midlands who wish to investigate based on the persons origin being different from theirs would be kept pretty busy.

I do not get the 6 points and fine bit either you have to except the fixed penalty or go to court. They don't just give you them.

On the plates I bet the were bought as "show plates" ?

Looks like it, no details of who made and sold the plates which is a legal requirement.

I don't fancy the OPs chances.

So. I read it ANPR likely pinged for unknown plate/no insurance.
You chose to get illegal spacing as thats not the registration you bought.
Also young guy,sporty car,illegal plate,tinted lights etc etc. Do you think the police wouldnt notice?

given the responses to the Suns article from what I assume is you.
Im guessing you failed the roadside attitude test too.
Also,of all the rags. The Sun? Really you went to the Sun?
If you dont want 'defamed' in the comments then don't go to a gutter rag like the Sun.

I applied a private plate from DVLA and notified my insurance on 11/11/19. On 13/11/19 I was pulled for no insurance and no plate....They now have sent me 6 points and a £300 fine and i have opted for a court hearing...... to be compensated and reimbursed and get my points and fines cleared.

As the police have ignored the incorrect spacing, I'm going to as well.

I don't see that you've done anything wrong*

The offer of 6 points & fine will be a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN). If you get an FPN you can choose to plead guilty or not guilty. If you're found guilty, the court will decide on the appropriate level of points and/or fine.

As for claiming your other costs back (impound and storage), you'll need to read up on the law in that area to see if you can reclaim those. Logic would say that you can, but I don't know the law.

* In relation to the things you've been charged with

Children, PLEASE!

Let's all stop and have a little breather, eh?

1. You were stopped because the car wasn't on MIB. That's no great surprise - it can take a little while for a change to filter through. They don't have to give you 7 days to produce, and would be wrong to let you drive away if they suspected you were uninsured. You say you could prove that you were covered, but they didn't give you the chance. That's one which is for the police complaints process to deal with, as is your allegation of discrimination on the basis of race. We weren't there. You were, and so were bodycams.

2. You don't yet have 6pts or a £300 fine, because you've rejected the fixed penalty. You're going to court for the charge, with what should be a solid defence against the charge, so you should come away with your licence clean.

3. You can't seriously claim that the police are responsible for losses and abuse arising from your car being recognised in the street when the only reason it's recognised is because you voluntarily sought publicity in the gutter tabloids.

4. While you may be able to reclaim the impound charges, if they have left you in debt to the extent that your credit score is suffering from missed payments, then perhaps spending many hundreds of pounds on buying and transferring a "private" plate onto your car was not your highest financial priority? E7GNR is currently available for £700 - from the same seller who google's cache shows previously listing your plate for the same price.
