Again, a case of the Police not quite telling it like it is.
Don't they talk a crock of shit? It's like the offence of not displaying a tax disk. You might have paid for it and have a valid disk, it may have subsequently fallen off or been nicked, and the Police computer can instantly confirm your bike is actually taxed, but the 'offence' still stands as it is for 'Not displaying' it. :rolleyes
I got pulled for throwing a banana skin out my car window a few years ago. It was Autumn, and the leaves were piled high at each side of the road - all bio-degradeable stuff to which I added a banana skin. The copper didn't half come the high and mighty but I don't take any of that nonsense anymore, their function is as a public servant not master.
He said; "I've a good mind to make you walk back and pick that up"
I replied: "Well, good luck with that one then.... "
The way I see it I'd rather pay a litter fine than be patronised like a schoolboy.
