They can't do you for it though only report you. Then you get a snotty letter you can use to line th e kitty litter tray.

Too many people with too much time on their hands. Problem is you couldn't stop and have a go at a copper you could get out and row with an ordinary member of th epublic and insert the gun where the sun doesn't shine

If they ever allow prosecution based on that, Im going to allege every crime I can think of against these people. It'd be about a comparable situation. They say I did some things. I say they some things.

Of course, courts dont convict on one persons evidence against another....but then they dont allow self incrimination either.....except where motorists are involved.
