Police confiscate an Evo and plow it into a garden wall?!?!?

Random piece of news but made me laugh and cheered up my day so thought I'd share it

They should get the f***ing book thrown at them. No excuse.

The car then collided with two front gardens.

Clearly the gardens where breaking the speed limit is what the investigation will find out.

Hope the two knobs have pay for car them selfs and the fella is found not to have been drinking

[Error404]

he wouldn't still be in custody if he'd been done for drink driving. Regardless of whatever he's done, these swine better not get away with it.

I would give anything to see that happen, they would have to have me comitted to stop the laughter..

Simple training issue thats all. The issue being panda cars don't do 0-60 in 4.something seconds. Clear case for dangerous driving I'd have thought. What about taking without owners consent? and given they clearly weren't on police business, how can they be insured?
Do as I say not as I do!!!

and yet more evidence for the police being a bunch of useless !@*#!%

I got caught drifting in my capri, they told me they where confiscating it and to take anything out of the car I needed, so I took the cap and leads off the dizzy they still bent the front valance winching it up the recovery lorry though. Then they lied on the court evidence.

AFAIK there's no insurance anyway - the Home Office just foots the bill for damage.

As for training... I'd be highly surprised if they were class 1 - I know the standard they're set to and it's exceptional. Probably more likely that they weren't even response trained - because they weren't meant to be doing that kind of driving!

Either way, I think there's only two ********s that can be blamed when all's said and done.

That may well be correct but the fact there's no actual policy doesn't mean there are no rules and you'd have thought that joyriding was an excluded activity.

well said

the two officers who were supposed to wait for the recovery vehicle have been suspended on full pay of coarse - I should imagine that should the courts have the balls to prosecute, I would wager that those two retards will no longer be employed as civil servants/ filth by the time this goes to court - chances of them getting into trouble and bringing their force into disripute: very low chances of justice being seen to be done: ZERO!!!!!!!
