That seems an important question, wouldn't you say? No. Really? Really. You can't see the relevance of whether the driver was prohibited from stopping. Because it's irrelevant. Why am I not surprised? :-) Why am I not surprised you can't recognise the real offence that took place? Go on, genius... What was it? Sigh. Don't forget the little matter of evidence, whatever you "think" the offence was. Evidence is for a court. Something way above your station in life. No evidence of an offence. No offence. Stopping a vehicle is an offence in certain (very limited) specific places. Even then, there are exceptions. Knowing that, but not wanting to admit it, you cannot say more. |

There are several distinct reasons. |

Applying the law adversely to a particular citizen needs evidence of an alleged offence at a particular time in a particular place. |

You have not yet been able to provide any. |

Who is *anyone* to "make demands"? But one might well take the view that if someone like you is accusing a third party (whom you have never met) of an offence, you might have a clue as to what the "offence" might be and of any evidence there might be for the accusation. But you don't have a clue about it, do you? |

The unlawful act is not the driver's stopping and waiting, it's the use of his hand-held device while driving. Is the correct answer! Obviously. |

This isn't a court and legal procedures do not have to be followed. So you confirm that you don't have a clue (quellle surprise!). But to some limited extent, that is correct. You can "find" people guilty even when they're not guilty. Have you thought of writing editorials for the Guardian? That'd be right up your alley. But you don't have a clue about it, do you? It's about a driver using a handheld phone. So *you*say. |
