You'd think but the two penalties I've been issued by the police which were speeding and talking on a phone whilst driving were wrong. I wasn't doing either. The first one was trickery by the officer who persuaded me to admit to it as it's be easier. The second, i was actually scratching my head after chicken pox.

Both of those i had to appeal and won instantly when talking to the magistrate.

Allowing these morons to issue fines and penalties for more complicated issues such as in this case is a very bad idea.
