Sorry but I haven't got time to read through 39 pages. Anywhere to report mobile phone use in the Manchester area?
Sorry to resurrect this old thread but it came up when I was searching for some information.
@Bewar3them00n @benb My advice is don't both with a cam for the small things and don't both reporting it to the police. I caught a lorry driver on cam this morning using a mobile phone. I took two stills from the video. In one the number plate is clear. In the other it obvious that he's using a phone. The police aren't interested. They say the courts won't accept photos and video taken by members of the public. I think this is a disgrace. I'm starting to understand why people upload their videos to YouTube. It's incredibly frustrating when you feel like you're the only person who actually wants safe roads and law abiding road users.
I'm sure that posters here have tried reporting similar and been told by the cops they will do nothing?
Don't the Police have to record all reports and compile stats?
If they do, even if they do nothing now, wouldn't an increase in reports raise it up their list of priorities?
was dismissed without investigation because the video was not considered independent evidence (the relevant police unit didn't even watch it and dismissed the allegation unseen).
