Q Without going into detail, were you — were you able to issue the ticket at
the time?
A Not initially, no.
Q But were you able to establish a satisfactory address at the scene of him?
A Not at the scene, no, but subsequently we were able to issue a fixed
penalty notice.
Q Again, in general terms was Mr Cordell being co-operative?
A No.
Q What was his demeanour and how did that develop?
A I would say un-co-operative. I personally found some of the language he
was using towards me quite offensive, some of the comments he was
making.
Q Did you call for assistance from — from a senior officer at one stage?
A Mr Cordell insisted at one point that — that an Inspector attend.
Fortunately, as it was, as I mentioned, a traffic operation, there was an
Inspector within the sort of immediate area and an Inspector did come
down and speak to Mr Cordell.
Q After the Inspector had left, were you still able — were you then able to
issue the fixed penalty notice?
A No, I was not.
Q I think you eventually - is that right? - arrested him?
Is that right?
A Yes. Unfortunately, I was inevitably having to deal with it by that way
because, you know, he was so un-co-operative.
Q But I think at the police station - is that right?
- with the help of the custody sergeant you were then able to issue the
fixed penalty notice?
A Yes, yes.
Q Is that right?
A Yes.
Q And I think you — you made a further check on the policy back at the
police station to check it was social, domestic, and pleasure and -- motor
trade?
Is that right?
A Yes. I contacted MIB, the Motor Insurance Bureau.
MR POTTINGER: Yes. If you’d just like to wait there.

incident?
