opsnap / operation snap / police dash cam footage submitting - waste of time.

I guess it is similar to reporting scams etc to Action Fraud, where nothing ever seems to happen.

We successfully reported dangerous driving with dash cam footage.
 

Police did advise up that 82 year old had immediately agreed to surrender his licence.

So, no prosecution to follow up.

In some cases the police have a ‘polite’ word with the person so again no follow up to find.

DVLA deal with no road tax, not the routine police. You can report cases online .

The problem with the reporting of tax (or no tax) is they want to know where the vehicle is. 

That's no good if you see the vehicle out & about being used & have no idea what its registered address is.

I've also had police tell me they don't deal with reports of no MOT. Funny then that the .gov website says to report to the police. So someone is obviously lying, be it .gov or the police I spoke to.


I think it's just a case of they're not really that bothered so long as nobody is ending up killed. They'll get who they get & do it whenever they do it.

Then when someone actually does end up killed, they'll roll out the "we need to do better" throwaway line.

. But you expect the police to act from dash cam footage. How will they know where the vehicle is kept?

The DVLA can check who is registered keeper , the same as the police.

If their  record is not up to date then neither the police nor DVLA can do anything. 

Report where you saw the car, which is what you reported to the police.

I do.

I think somewhere in the form it asked about their address. I just put you should have this on your database. I'm only saying where I saw it.
