Its a shame they don't spend more time prosecuting proper crime from within their ranks ,i.e sex offenders and rapist etc ,

When did not wearing a seatbelt become not a crime?

My point is chippy, get burgled ,car stolen, mugged etc, chance of seeing a cooper about zero, commit a non crime like not wearing a seatbelt ,bang to rights, ask 100 people what they would like to see the police focus on ,it would not be ,not wearing a seat belt .

It's not an either/or situation.

Sadly this is a parody account. @StandfordPolice is the real account. Sorry, no such fine issued (yet)

Technically it is not a crime. It is illegal but not a crime. There is no recordable crime for such an act.

Put in Broadmoor? There's no wonder the country's in the state it's in with big softies like you around!

The Prime Minister has apologised for the “mistake”, as Downing Street said that Mr Sunak had made a “brief error of judgment”.​

What a very human trait. Are none of us perfect? Happens to the nicest guys:
Andrew Prince of Pervs
David Carrick
Boris Johnson
to name but a few.

Give the lad a break!

I stand corrected, so technically its not a crime but he did break the law (however briefly they are trying to say it was) therefore he should be fined, i was caught not wearing one many years ago when wearing them became mandatory i explained to the police officer that it was a genuine mistake, i still had to pay the fine.

 

[AJA]

If the payment cannot be made in full then there is an option to pay by instalments We add a £83.30 admin charge, so the total amount would be £800.85 Payable in 11 x £69 and 1 x £41.85
