city players fined by dickhead police officers

[squirtyflower]

£30 eh? Bet they're really bothered.

They could always get a part time job to help pay the fine.

can't now they have to train more
that's why carlos is so pissed, he's had to give up his part-time serving job up

If they were breaking the law then they should be done for it! It has nothing to do with the police being United fans, not all coppers are out chasing murderers all the time they all have certain assignments. I would imagine it's not beyond the realms of reality to think that somewhere else in the vast city of Manchester and it's surrounding areas there are other Police officers doing what I imagine you would call real Police work.

I guess it's about "priority of resources."

Try ringing 999 if you've had your windscreen trashed or your shed robbed-and then see then how quickly they respond.

And you can bet your life they'll have been telling their mates at the station who they "did" today!

I would rather the police deal with important shit like assaults or rapes or murders and take a bit longer coming to me with my broken into shed or smashed windscreen as that is not getting any worse.

Bet that £30 hit there pockets hard!!!!

Some stats about Tinted Windows.

Sure they can afford it but safety comes first.

Agreed

but i'd much rather VOSA tracked down more regularly those driving without tax or insurance as that is more likely to affect me than a few driving round in darkened cars

Not if they run you over at night because they can`t see you it won`t

that's not the reason why it's illegal, it's so the police can see who is driving the car for prosecution purposes

I'll sleep much easier in my bed tonight knowing the forces of law and order have enforced my basic human right to be able to see into Shay Given's car windows.

seems to me that these policemen are united fans! twats!

"Club captain Kolo Toure and team-mates Shaun Wright-Phillips, Patrick Vieira, Stephen Ireland and Shay Given were each given £30 fixed penalty notices as they arrived at the club's Carrington training complex.

Police and Vehicle Operator Services Agency officers swooped when they spotted goalkeeper Given in his £120,000 Bentley Continental on nearby Carrington Lane. They followed him to City's car park - and then pounced on several shocked stars.

Each player whose vehicle was found to have windows darker than the legal level was told they would have to wind down the windows until they were fixed if they wanted to carry on driving".

1) £30 pounds is peanuts to them.
2) If there breaking the law then why shouldnt they be fined like the general public

And so they should but no doubt had Manchester's finest followed EvdS into the other Carrington, they would have offered to clean the whole set of assembled automobiles!

Yeah must be. Although at the end of the article you linked to, it also states that the same thing has also happened to Ronaldo and Neville. So maybe not.

Yeah but we can't let any form of reality get in the way of conspiracy.
Remember, All Police, All people that work for newspapers and news programs on television, All people that work for Sky, All people who have ever been on Sky, Every person at the FA and all Refs are all United fans...... without a doubt ;)

Bollocks, visibilty at night through heavily tinted windows is poor that's why they are banned


The law states that any tint must allow at least 70% of the light to pass through them. There are obvious reasons for this of course. If you cannot see clearly through your windows then you might not be able to see that cyclist, pedestrian etc. especially at night.

VOSA has spent £13,000 providing light meters for roadside checks. If the meter detects between 45% and 65% of light getting through then you would be asked to remove the tint, failing to do so could result in a £2000 fine. If the meter says 30% to 45% the vehicle is deemed unfit for the road and a delayed prohibition is issued leaving 10 days to remove the tint. Less than 30% and the vehicle cannot be moved until the tint is removed.
