I believe that this application is an attempt by members of the police and local
Authority to find me guilty of offences I have not committed in turn having an
effect on my health and stopping me from developing my company, and it is not
acceptable or reasonable. I am in the process of developing a business plan for a
festival at Barley lands in Essex. I had planned to have this event in 2014,
however, the stress of the ongoing ASBO proceedings have stopped me from
putting this festival on. I exhibit a draft business plan as exhibit SC/3, and a
business submission form for a community festival as exhibit SC/4.
I was once arrested by members of the police outside White Sands Nightclub on
14th November 2013 at Brixton Hill and I had my van seized. The reason given
for stopping me was that I had "tools of the trade” in my van and my insurance
did not cover driving a vehicle on this basis. My vehicle was seized as it was
alleged that I did not have insurance. I was actually insured at the time, and
there were no tools in my van. I exhibit proof of my insurance as exhibit SC/4.
A police officer gave incorrect evidence in court that he had not taken my
vehicle because there were tools in it; however, he had made an inconsistent
statement previously saying that there were tools in the van. I exhibit proof of
this incident as exhibits SC/5, a witness statement authenticating the sound
recordings I have submitted, exhibit SC/6, transcripts of sound recordings of
conversations with police personnel and my insurance company, and exhibit
SC/7, a sound recording of a phone call from a police officer to my insurance
company, and exhibit SC/8, a further sound recording of a phone call between
the insurance company and the police car pound. I was convicted of driving
without insurance on the basis of his evidence. I am appealing against
conviction on the basis that the police officer gave incorrect evidence to court.
My insurance company has provided me with a letter of indemnity and witness
statement in this respect; however, I am currently banned from driving as a
result of the officer’s incorrect evidence. I exhibit the clerk’s notes from the
Magistrates Court trial verifying that the police officer told the court that my
Van had not been seized because of there being tools in the Van, and a covering
email from Lavender Hill Magistrates Court, as exhibit SC/9, and I exhibit
proof that I am currently banned from driving as exhibit SC/10. I had a
legitimate reason for being at White Sands Nightclub as I was discussing
becoming entertainment manager for White Sands Nightclub; I was going to see
a friend about the possibility of a job interview. My van was empty on the date
in question.
I accept that I own entertainment equipment. I have acquired these for my
company. I am trying to build a company, and the aim was to rent the
equipment out to people. I have prepared draft terms and conditions of business
that I exhibit as SC/11. I was trying to hire the equipment out to conferences,
school fates, local community events, private birthday parties until the stress
became too
