Yes they can be posted and there is a section for you to sign and return to the police to acknowledge receipt of the notice. But it seems that i am signing just to say that ive received the notice and understand that any vehicle i am caught using in an un-sociable manner in the next 12 months can be seized from me.
I find it hard to believe that this sort of notice can be issued to people based solely on the word of an off duty officer with no way of being able to dispute it, if they had taken me to court i would have had the oppurtunity to fight the allegation and have a judge make a decision based on the evidence provided and i cannot see how the opinion of an off duty officer could stand up as hard evidence in court.
