climbing on the bonnet of a car of someone you believe is going to drive off is a regular technique?
****ing hell surprising more of the tards don't get their brains crushed under a wheel.

How would they know without trying?
That said, given the new light thrown on this story, I can agree with the officers actions...

How do we know he's not a bigtime crack dealer trying to run from the Pigs innit?
Good luck running the police over and getting away with it

Same guy - sounds like a nice bloke. Obviously known to the Police then.

Are you stupid. He obviously drove off because he thought they'd dealt with him, genuine mistake (look at how old he is) and instead of flashing him down or following him with there cars the pieces of ***** thought it was a good idea to smash his windscreen and his driver side window and then drag him out the car.
I wonder how youd feel if it was your grandad.
But I dont expect any better from you, you always defend police/government in whatever they do. If you was a german in ww2 youd try to defend the holocaust, fix up kid.
The original "crime" in this case is so lame there isn't even a proper penalty for it - just a bit of financial extortion. Why was there such a suspicion if he drove off? Also, while the news article is vague and he could have sped off in any kind of manner, it doesn't seem to mention whether he actually paid the fine. He could have paid the fine and assumed he was free to go, and the police officers in question have just gone in to one of their high and mighty rages and escalated the situation beyond all reason. We don't know the facts for sure, so it's interesting how in this thread a lot of people are using that to say or at least imply the police were probably in the right.
To play devil's advocate a little, let's say the guy did just drive off angry after being stopped for not wearing his seat belt. Does doing that mean he was a potential serious criminal and must be stopped at any cost? There is a presumption in this case that the driver of the Range Rover is a threat because of his actions, and it's a presumption which tbh, is pretty much completely unfounded. At what point does going about your daily life raise enough suspicion that you must be investigated? Accidentally dropping a cigarette out of the window? Putting your hand down to adjust the radio? Blinking for too long?

Wouldn't it be easier for the police to have one of those little emergency window hammers (or a centre punch style one) than smacking at it with a baton for half an hour?
Walk up to window >tap with hammer/click with punch > window is gone.

Er...they did follow him with their cars...for 17 mins...with the sirens and lights going. He thought they were "escorting me home". They even had to deploy a stinger.
So the genuine mistakes he has made are... having an illegal licence plate.. driving off when he thought the police had "finished" with him... not stopping for almost 20 mins despite the lights/sirens ... previously having been caught with an expired tax disc , no insurance and no mot.
Well...in all honesty, if he is making those amount of "genuine mistakes" he probably shouldnt be on the road.
So what, the police must have said something to make him act like that. I've been stopped many times by the police, sometimes the officers are polite and everything goes fine. Sometimes they are arrogant, cocky smartarses who think cus they have a police badge means they can talk to u anyway they want.
The old man was scared after they punctured his tyres, and one of the coppers mite have been the one in the MOT incident so he might have thought they had a vendetta against him.
ladies and gentleman
thankyou very much and goodnight !
I'll collect my money at the door
Maybe he thinks the officers where Jewish?
