"As well as that, the new fixed penalty notice for littering will rise by £20 – from £80 to £1" "The new rules will see Kingdom able to hand out fines for those caught smoking in a vehicle driven for work." So if a 17 year old was driving his vehicle and smoking at the same time.... Would they ticket him? I can see more and more calls to the police asking to assist with aggressive members of the public...

Quick question. If a self employed driving instructor is taking a lesson with a learner driver, in the driving instructors vehicle, what insurance is needed... Will "S,D & P including Business use excluding hire and reward" cover this? I PNC'ed a driving school vehicle the other day and it stated "S,D AND P AND BUSINESS USE INCLUDING THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS FOR TUITION PURPOSES" I would have thought "excluding hire and reward" would mean that a driving instructor would be getting paid and as such they would be driving outside the remits of their insurance. I spoke to a traffic officer who stayed that business use would cover a learner driver an…

Scenario: Dave is a regular punter at his local bookmakers shop. After several years of betting and losing overall, he thinks he has 'discovered' a mathematical flaw in certain bookmakers odds whereby occasionally he can significantly increase his chances of making a profit. He starts off by going to the shop and placing small cash bets of £10 a time. After a few weeks, he has made an overall profit of £100 and thinks he is on to the 'secret sauce'. He becomes greedy and increases his stakes to £100. He does this for a few more weeks and his profit is now closer to £1000. Full of confidence, he walks into his favourite shop and fills in his slip, reque…

One of the top issues the police should deal with, right? Billy has strip of grass outside his garden fence that he keeps neat and tidy. To his annoyance he finds piles of the brown stuff on it. He has put up signs asking people to scoop that poop. On several occasions he has seen Bobby’s dog leaving him a present. He has pointed this out to Bobby who grunts and gets out a bag and picks it up but many of the ones he finds left are identical to Bobby’s dog’s ones.

Little disagreement myself and another SC had last week, been mulling it over, and I don't think I would do anything differently now. You're working NTE and someone comes over and says he has been robbed. On questioning you work out the following facts.: 1 :: He's been to the lapdance bar, where he says he was robbed of £200. 2 :: He's in drink. 3 :: He agreed a price for a dance before it started, he handed over £200, and then he didn't get what he wanted./expected so wants his money back. 4 :: The staff at the Lapdance Bar agree with all of the above, and as he had the dances they're declining to refund him. Next steps?
