All for a Battery a, very good, some Hit and Run ferker Totaled my Elite a few months while it was parked up, all the help I got from the Bill was a producer for all my documents and make sure the car was legal.
Wait till they seize the vehicle and offer you a cursory "sorry" before releasing you whereupon YOU pay the £105 recovery fee to get your car/bike back from the breakers impound lot that towed it away to start with.
Yea, I heard about that one, sometimes done if they recover a stolen vehicle should they chose to do there own forensic on it. Keeper gets the bill, something like you say £105 recovery, £250 per day odd for the Police work plus £30 per day storage. But dont worry your Insurance pays for it all. 
Unfortunately (for me anyways) there is an individual who has not only the same name as me, but also the same date of birth who apparently is "disqualified from driving for life".
This means the only way plod can verify I am not the Mark B*****r who has this against his name is to fingerprint me, which means time down the station and an appointment with the Livescan machine.
Unfortunately they prefer to listen to the computer rather than me, which means my vehicle (car or bike) is automatically seized in the same way it would be seized for someone with no licence, and after countless occasions of it occurring it becomes somewhat tiresome.
The last time it happened it took in excess of 6 months to get the £105 back, which is why the incompetent idiots pi$$ me off.
The above is all a moot point at the moment of course as recent brain surgery means I am off the road for a minimum of 12 months from last October, but when I am allowed to drive again how many more times do I have to put up with their error at the roadside and keep forking out for something that is out of my control?
It's that reason (and that reason alone) that means I generally end up losing it with them, but how many times do I have to put up with their problem before they correct it?
You should have put the video and screenies on the likes of FB, etc to see if anyone recognised the little shit as I find summary justice works a lot quicker than the courts do (it also saves the taxpayer a shedload of money) 
If it goes to court then it could, as I understand it, cause issues with the validity of the evidence and with impartiality.
I was always under the distinct impression it didn't matter what the authorities thought if summary justice had been invoked as they weren't involved to start with
PS
I'm still with you in being grateful for a police force (because we need one without a doubt), but 90% + of them are still incompetent f**kwits who aren't capable of thinking for themselves.
