Maybe things have change over the years. I remember a time a copper could stand on the motorway bridge with nothing more than a stop watch and time you between bridges, and get a conviction.
Will do, the lady told my dad that I was driving too fast I was like wtf, I didnt argue back cz my dad would shut me up, he wouldnt care whos sitting there watching he would rip into me, the lady officer was nodding her head away in "disgust" as if I murdered someone. Made it out like it was really bad.
Nothing else better to do I imagine ! Bet they wrote it all up for the cps and they just laughed and threw it out ! What a waste of policing and paper work ! Probably trying to make there unofficial targets that they say they don't have !
As said above in my post, assuming you have told us the truth?
They can't do you for it on the information you've gave us, it wasn't a traffic car so end of.
These threads always turn into these everyone knows better scenarios and scare/wind you up.
Thank me later
Absolute rubbish, it doesn't matter if they're in a traffic car or not. They could be on foot, a pushbike, whatever, there is nowhere in legislation that specifies in order to be caught committing road traffic offences the bobby needs to be in a traffic car.

Wrong!
If they are on foot, they can report you but you will NOT be done without sufficient proof, it will not stand up in court unless you admit to it.
Slap on the wrist scenario.
And a 2 police officers Verbal evidence is not enough.
If your smart enough and know the law then you won't get done.
But if your dumb and don't know the law and think your in a corner then you will.
Ask me how I know.
I can't be arsed arguing over it to protect others if you don't know the loopholes, I'm only out to care for myself. End.

What are the loopholes? Lol. If someone gets caught driving without care but they the police don't give anything to you at the road side can they do you for it if they have no video evidence?
Exactly what I said earlier, regarding your careless driving scenario, if they don't have video evidence of you doing it or no general public statements then officially that's not going to stand up with the cps unless you've admitted it and signed a statement.
So if above, then no. Talk to your solicitor if it does come ahead and pay him well you won't get done!
Different scenarios require different procedures depending on offence committed.
