Oh I just thought - if they mistyped the reg code, it'd (most likely) show a different make and model. A car with the "wrong" plates would certainly need investigating.

they don't tend to type reg codes these days, it's all done automatically from cameras and the systems alert them to dodgy vehicles

I made this mistake yesterday. Not all police cars have cameras that do this.

Nope, they’ve said themselves the officer put the number in himself

So he typed it in wrong, and the system told him the number he typed belonged to a different car on the other end of the country? They'd be rubbish cops if they didn't look into it.

Not if the person involved goes onto Twitter with a film of it instead of behaving like a real public servant and going straight to the Met.

To be fair it was Sunday. I know "crime doesn't sleep" and the Bobbies obviously work all year round, but the people she's need to speak to probably have Sundays off.

The windows were tinted so they were unable to ascertain the ethnicity, and they were respectful and polite when dealing with the occupants, maybe just don't bother pulling over cars with tinted windows in case it causes offence

Do you drive, Oliver? I've driven all around the country at different times, and not once have I ever been pulled for being far away from where my vehicle was/is registered, it just doesn't happen, and this is the first/only instance I've ever heard of it happening.

Why was the plate checked in the first place?

Top Met cop says officers who stopped car carrying MP Dawn Butler didn’t know
occupants were black because the windows were TINTED as he condemns trial
by social media

• Senior police official has spoken out against officers facing 'trial by social media'
• Ms Butler accused police of racial profiling after BMW she was in was pulled over
• Sir Steve House has defended the officers' conduct after reviewing the incident
• He says they did not know she was black because windows on car were tinted

The officers had acted properly, and it was 'unfair' that police should have their actions hastily posted and scrutinised on social media, rather than being reviewed through proper channels.

He added officers, ‘didn't know who the occupants of the car were, including their ethnicity because the car windows were tinted.'

case closed, another black hard left MP pulling the race card - despicable. I hope she is forced to go by Sir Keir

An MP who's first reaction was to film the encounter, and 2nd act posting it on Twitter.... not ideal for a responsible member of Parliament I would have thought!!

[Oliver_W]

She was pretty irresponsible and closed-minded, hard to deny. But she's not on the Shadow Cabinet anymore, and if acting like an idiot was enough to get someone removed from Parliament, the House would be mostly empty!

But Sir Kier should certainly have a word, it's not just herself she makes look bad and the Labour Party are trying to fix their image.
