Holy thread resurrection!What on earth has happened to the 'Innocent until proved to be guilty?'
We get tried in a criminal court and in criminal law guilt has to surely be proved beyond doubt? If they say that is your car and you say it is not, then who is innocent until proved to be guilty? If we were tried for any other offence then the prosecution has to prove the offence, we do not have to prove we did not do something....... 'we did not do'
Sadly the motorist is the easy target and unlike any other offence, we are deemed guilty until we can prove we are innocent.
I once arrested some armed robbers and in the boot of their stolen gold coloured Granada they had four sets of plates all relating to gold coloured Granadas. The plates on their car were for the exact make and model they were driving and obviously if you were to believe the information given by the police computer then the vehicle was not stolen!!
Why did you dig this one up?
