I think we've come to the end of the road on this topic but one final viewpoint!
Driver Notification forms for Mark! 5099Such exceptions can be allowed for in a properly organised system. Simply notifying the local police station that one's vehicle is at a garage for repair, to be confirmed by the new vehicle tracking system...
Throughout this debate I have been portrayed as the 'jack-booted nazi' champing at the bit to slam innocents behind bars. In contrast, you Mark, and your 'cabal' have tried to portray yourselves as marching behind the pure white banner of justice, law, and the rules of evidence. I have to say that I detect a distinct whiff of hypocrisy in all this! Underneath all that pontificating is not a true desire for 'justice' - but rather a desire to break the law and evade justice. Using a simple analogy - the desire to evade rightful justice by means of the 'right to silence' is akin to the errant child hiding behind mummies skirts when the angry neighbour comes around over a broken window. People who are principled, moral, and ethical, are prepared to admit when they have done wrong and face up to the consequences of their actions. People who know they are guilty but who seek to take advantage of every 'weakness' in the rules to escape justice are, in my view, neither principled, nor moral, nor ethical. But hey, why on earth am I surprised? This is after all 'Cool Britannia' 2005 where almost everything is inverted. The heroes of today are the foul-mouthed drug taking footballers and pop-stars - and of course, people who break the law and manage to get away with it! :-)
