I have mixed feelings about what he did. He was obviously fishing for this ideal scenario, however they did take a big, fat bite of his bait! That being said, the Police fired the first salvo at Joe public when it comes to using legal, but underhanded tactics, particularly when fining someone £100 for going 3 mph over the speed limit by sneakily putting a speed camera at the bottom of a hill, or hiding a speed van in an odious ploy to generate revenue (using technology that has sometimes proven to be inaccurate with false readings) so if someone is also slyly operating within the confines of the law, then they too have no right to bully or criticise him. As a general rule of thumb, I have the utmost respect for the Police, however they have recently been prioritising minor offences, bending their knees to fringe groups and allowing yobs to block roads. Oddly, they were able to muster whole squads of officers to forcibly arrest people for daring to keep their livelihood open during a lockdown, though? The only real crime here is that the taxpayer has been shafted due to the hubris of a bully armed with a badge, who should have brushed up on his knowledge of the law before enforcing what he ignorantly believed was correct.

Fully agree, Slinky! Too much copper - prefer the old mix that actually looks like gold
