➢ All this time I was on the phone to my mother, and she heard all of what was going on.
➢ PC Smith spoke to my mum also on the phone two times as well, my mother also asked PC smith was
there anything in my Van and PC Smith told her not that the van was empty.
➢ My mother also called the insurance company and talked to them they also told her I was insured, and
they could not understand why the police was doing this.
➢ I was taken to Southwark police station they were still trying to force me to sign the ticket which I did not
want to do, they told me if I did not sign then they would not bail me and take me to court the next
morning, I told them to do this I was willing to stay in the police cells till the next day when this could be
heard by a judge as I knew I was not in the wrong, they changed their mind and told this would not
happen and they wanted me out of the police station.
➢ They forced me to sign the ticket and then made me leave the police station,
➢ While waiting outside by reception in the police station I asked to speak to an inspector the police officer
who had come to drive me out of Southwark told me if I did not leave with them now then I would have
to make my own way or I would break my bail conditions of not being in Southwark, I was on the phone
to my mum and she told me she was going to get off the phone and call my solicitors, which she did, my
solicitors told my mum to tell me to wait and talk to an inspector and that due to the police taking me to
Southwark I would not be breaking my bail conditions as the police had taken me there.
➢ I waited to see an inspector and talked to him, he said due to the police being from Brixton there was very
little he could do, but he would get an inspector from Brixton to call me so I could put in my complaint
in, this has not happened, and this is the reason I am writing my complaint to yourselves.
➢ I had to make my way home with no money each time getting to the stop on the train I needed to change
telling the train officer what had happened if it was not for the fact, they let me get back without paying I
would have had to walk all the way home as the police officer would not let me get my things out of the
van or my money.
➢ I went to pick my van up and again there was a cost to myself of £190, I will be taking this to court as I
should have had no need to have 6 points put on my licence and a £300 fine when I did in fact have
insurance to drive.
➢ Due to also the police officer lying to my insurance saying I was working and carrying goods in my van
which is clearly a lie as the van was empty, I have also had a letter saying they are closing my insurance
over, so I am having to deal with this also.
➢ I do not feel the police officer who dealt with this matter address it as he should have, I feel he did not do
his job correctly and I have suffered due to this.
➢ My insurance company are saying that the data for my vehicles are on the data base and are looking into
the reason why it is not showing up when the police are doing their checks.
