Only for a Gatso offence, for any other offence if Plod turned up on my drive to ask questions about where my car was at X time , I could quite legally close the door without saying anything or tell him to mind his own business. But if he is asking about a gatso offence that behaviour is an offence.
It is not right, as is shown by the fact that it's the only offence where one is obliged to do so.
Away you go then, prove it.
As you maintain that I should as my duty know who was driving my car at any time , or even if the car wasn't being driven where it was, how else do you suggest this proof be kept? What is really scary is that your thought processes are obvioulsy so twisted that you can see nothing wrong in the above, can you? If I suggest that your caravan was used as a mobile crack factory , can you provide proof that it wasn't, and more to the point why dhould you provide proof that it wasn't , it's the prosecutions job to prove that it was.
"is in any way likely" requires a. As you haven't yet disproved t hypothesis we must ( at least until it is disproved) accept this as a "fact" ie not twaddle. That is the scientific method.
Please list where all of your property is all of the time?
I am aware that they aren't meant to make them ,( but often do on the fly) but that wasn't the thrust of my point.
