Section 59's are the ultimate power for coppers to abuse motorists with.

NO appeal process
2 strikes and they take your car away


Legitimate issueing of them is intended for things such as:
Excessive vehicle noise
Inconsiderate driving
Causing a nuiscance such as kerb crawling


But they frequently give them out with utterly no grounds at all and there is nothing whatsoever you can actually do about it.

You cant even request that you go to court for a hearing to decide if its been fairly issued.



Welcome to the first steps towards a police state, it will be judge dredd by the end of our lifetimes the way things are going
