Update from the Police

When I have rang 101 in the

When I have rang 101 in the past and reported it they have been helpful

I don’t know anything about your police, but my (jaundiced) guess is that was them pretending to be helpful to fob you off. The currency in these transactions is actual action against offenders, not promises or hints of action some time in the future. If they won’t tell you, it means they haven’t done anything

Any ideas what the best way

Any ideas what the best way would be get an update? I’m sick of getting nothing back from them, thinking they are not even bothering to watch the footage

Welcome to world of the Bad Cops. All you can do is collect evidence, and then put it on YouTube. The Bad Cops will ignore it. It’s a long hard struggle, but it could be worse: you could live in Lancashire, the Land of Bent Police. Today I immediately recognised Transit lorry HY66 ZZB when it passed me, on this occasion not an offence. Look it up…no VED since 4.6.19. This below was on 9.3.22, 3 days after the driver close-passed me at 45 in a 30 limit when I got around to submitting the report. The police took no action about anything, claiming they couldn’t read the plate although I saw it and reported it, and that DVLA is unreliable ‘because it’s not updated as often as the PNC’ (people who don’t live here can have no conception of the complete-crapness of Lancashire Constabulary!- the image just needs lightening. They insist on only receiving the unadulterated original footage as it comes out of the camera). It’s a haven here for people with no MOT, no VED, neither. There is no means of complaining when the police perform the judging of themselves, and even I, with all my experience, am sickened by the corruption of the police here

I can understand not being

I can understand not being told the outcome when you are just a bystander and witness a traffic law infringement, such as dashcam footage of a car ahead of you going through a red light.

But when you’ve been directly threatened by the illegal actions of the driver, then you are a victim. There is a victims code that the police are supposed to follow, that gives victims the right to know outcomes.

You could complain that this is not being adhered to.
