➢ While I was there, I was also planning on asking if there were any painting jobs, I explained all this to the
police officer I was talking to.
➢ The police officer made a call to my insurance company, and he then replied to me they are saying that I
was not insured, at this I was very shocked and started to make a call to my Mother to ask her to call my
insurance company to speak about why they were saying I was not insurance.
➢ She is fact talked to a person called Martin who took Simons Number and said he would call him.
➢ Martin did call and I explained to him what was going on and he told me I was insured and also talked to
the police office and told him that I was insured.
➢ The police talked on the phone more than once and was told I was in fact insured to drive my van.
➢ The police officer was still not happy and now told me that I was using my Van for work which I told
him that was not the case and that I was here for a meeting, I told the police officer to look in my van and
see if there were any working tools inside it.
➢ The police officer saw this was not the case as the van was empty.
➢ By this time a next police officer had come to the other police officer, and I started to talk to him I
explained what was going on and what the other officer was saying that I was using my Van to work in,
which was not the case and I told him also to look in the van and see if there were any working tools in
there.
➢ I even showed him a business card I had got made up to give out to people in the hope of work.
➢ Which the police officer put in his own wallet to keep for himself.
➢ At this the other officer overheard me and the other officer talking about the business card and then used
this to say that I had in fact been working and this is why he was going to seize my van.
➢ I told him that where is the print bushes and print in my van as this is what was on the business card it
was a printer’s business card.
➢ The officer then said why have you got paint of your jeans I told him that I did not have money to buy
new jeans and that was why I was looking for work to try and better myself.
➢ I also told the office to go into the property where I was due to go for a meeting and ask them if I was
working there.
➢ He refused to do this.
➢ I still feel as if there is a big issue here, I am allowed to drive to a meeting and park there as long as I am
not carrying goods for a company which I was not and that could clearly be seen my van was empty so
how anyone can think I am doing anything wrong is beyond me.
➢ The police officer did not want to hear anything I had to say and was looking for any reason from the
start to arrest me or seize my van this was his aim from the start.
➢ It did not matter that the insurance company told him I was insured, the only thing I would not be insured
for were if I was to use my van as a tool for carriage of goods for any company which was clearly not the
case as my van was empty.
37,
➢ I am insured to go back and forward to any place of work as my insurance covers for social domestic and
pleasure and commuting as well as motor trade.
➢ The police officer for some reason would not hear I was insured and just at this time wanted to seize my
Van.
➢ He was asking me to sign a ticket in order to give me 6 points on my licence and a £300 fine and for my
van to be seized.
➢ Which I did understand what he was asking me to do as this has not happened to me only this time but a
further 2 times when the police on a Sunday on both other times seized my vehicles due to them not
being able to call my insurance company.
➢ And it is showing on the database I was not insured.
➢ I refused to sign as I knew I was insured.
➢ I told the police officer to arrest me and that we could get this sorted at the police station, due to me
refusing to sign the ticket the police officer arrested me as I asked him to do.
