Off Topic Proved a police woman wrong :D
I think if the police equiped themselves with a soupled up unmarked Clio or similar, and started goading other drivers in to traffic light grand prix, that would probably be entrapment. Or having somebody in the pub buying drinks and then targetting those drivers maybe?
Slightly different, but back in 80's an acquaintance of mine (I won't call him a friend as he was a bit of a plonker) got breathalysed and done. He had taken his car all of 400 yards to the pub.
The policeman that nabbed him knew him from the pub.
The next day, the same policeman approached him and offered him a daft price for his car on the basis that he soon wouldn't be needing it.
Anybody think that the policeman was out of order?

My dads got a brand new Audi Q5 s-line, there complete back end is all LED lighting, sides, indicators, brakes! he has never been stopped regarding them so surely they are legal and this is his second Q5 in the past 2 years, no problems wregarding LED tail lights with the one before either.

I might be wrong, but I don't think we have entrapment like they do in the USA. I'm not sure where I heard that from though.
Just a bit!
Yes but in the eyes of the RVLR and CAU regs they are Illegal in UK law... However they are Homogenised within the EEC (Germany in the case of VAG cars) the Germans have kept up with the advances of technology and amended their regulations accordingly. Legal in Europe legal over here same as the GP Evo's led tail lamps so dont worry
Yeah i get exactly what you mean now, unless that action was undertaken because they suspected they were driving dangerously anyway.
Its hard to understand though, i would have thought that would make people much much more warey and less likely to commit. Although if the person is gonna do something wrong, i think they would regardless.
Seeing as this is already slightly off topic, does anyone know if petrol station reg plate recog cameras recognise if cars are uninsured etc?
Most garages have the signs up but the cameras do not exist....
i think you maybe right
The Morrison's I work at has them, but there about as much use as having a dyslexic outside copying down all the plates; I noticed it recognized something like "A1 AAA" or something equally as daft and easy to recognize as something completely different and even more daft.
was just thinking it would make it inconvenient for uninsured drivers to fill up without using a jerrry can, if cameras picked them up at stations.
Anyway, thats my post for today. Time to crack open a can and enjoy christmas eve. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Problem is what happens when some sales assistant fails to turn on the pump for them. Your likely to have some enraged nutter who isn't going to take kindly to them been told they are having no fuel storming into the shop to confront the poor staff member behind the counter........
call me simple but I didn't know these lights existed. never witnessed them in use either. Do 500's have them? I have a twin air with fogs but I'm sure I'd of noticed extra light when turning? I'm gonna be staring at puntos and the like now instead of concentrating on the road lol :bang:
Personally looking at the photo it's easy to see why the police approached as it looks really bright!!! Agree about attitude though, should've been a bit more inquisitive about it rather than laying down the "facts"
