From: Brimstone on 5 Aug 2010 15:13 I can't remember the last time I saw such an over the top reaction. It's a wonderful example of how some public servants think they're the masters and we are to do their bidding. There is a video on the website. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1300608/Policemen-suspended-smash-grab-raid-disabled-mans-Range-Rover.html "Two policemen were suspended after a disabled pensioner claimed he was left terrified by officers who smashed his car window after catching him driving without a seatbelt. When stroke victim Robert Whatley, 70, was pulled over in his Range Rover, he expected a brief discussion with the officers. But he claims he was forced to cover his face and was showered with glass as one officer jumped on to the bonnet and kicked his windscreen while another repeatedly attacked the window with a baton. The ensuing action was caught on film by a police camera placed on the patrol car's dashboard."

Hang on a sec! "Officers tried to issue him with a fixed penalty notice but Mr Whatley drove off. Two Gwent police officers followed him along eight miles of country lanes for 17 minutes before trying to stop the �60,000 Range Rover with a stinger device. But Mr Whatley pulled over again and waited for them to approach. He was later charged with a series of motoring offences." > But he claims he was forced to cover his face and was showered with > glass as one officer jumped on to the bonnet and kicked his windscreen > while another repeatedly attacked the window with a baton. Serves the fucker right! He suffered a couple of broken windows after fleeing from the police. Why didn't you post this information in the first place. If he'd stopped then all he might have had was a "discussion".

"Officers tried to issue him with a fixed penalty notice but Mr Whatley drove off." Two Gwent police officers followed him along eight miles of country lanes for 17 minutes before trying to stop the �60,000 Range Rover with a stinger device. "He said he thought that the blue lights and siren of the pursuing car meant the officer was giving him a police escort home." LOL PS love it that a 'knock the pigs' story is ok, despite it being in the laothed Daily Mail...

He needs taking off the road "'I thought he had finished with me. I just drove off coolly and calmly and not off at speed.' Mr Whatley, who never broke the speed limit during the chase, said he had become confused during the pursuit. He said he thought that the blue lights and siren of the pursuing car meant the officer was giving him a police escort home." Daft old fool |
