Police issue 'motoring ASBO' to A1 speeder

How long before people stop stopping for the police??? I know if I'd got 1 asbo and a copper asked me to stop, I'd run. Specially if I was in a decent car / on a decent bike. Not a problem with the cheap vehicles I drive, but they're still my transport and I won't have them taken away.

is a variation on Section 59. I think they must be low on targets. easiest way to get back to target is to issue a load of FPNs and the like.

This continues the criminalization of middle-England. We cannot accept this else there will be equality and justice for NONE. Everyone take note that this can happen to anyone for any reason and just like Gatsos will only cause a further backlash against authority. On day when the police admits that they don't like the "targets" numbers game comes this. Is there a lawyer worth their salt that will clear up the grey areas of this petty legislation? I came across this quote which shows it should be for last resorts, once the legal penalty is found to be inadequate: Ian Palmer, the Crown Prosecution Service Anti-Social Behaviour Prosecutor for Northumbria, said: "ASBOs are used to get persistent offenders... If disqualification doesn't stop people from driving then an ASBO is the next step." http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/thejournal/tm_objectid=15269710&method=full&siteid=50081&headline=asbo-is-imposed-on-crash-woman-name_page.html
