was also planning on asking if there were any painting jobs, I explained all this to the police
officer I was talking to.
The police officer made a call to my insurance company and he then replied to me they are
saying that I was not insured, at this I was very shocked and started to make a call to my
Mother to ask her to call my insurance company to speak about why they was saying I was
not insurance. She is fact talked to a person called Martin who took Simons Number and said
he would call him. Martin did call and I explained to him what was going on and he told me I
was insured and also talked to the police office and told him that I was insured. The police
talked on the phone more than once and was told I was in fact insured to drive my van.
The police officer was still not happy and now told me that I was using my Van for work
which I told him that was not the case and that I was here for a meeting, I told the police
officer to look in my van and see if there were any working tools inside it. The police officer
saw this was not the case as the van was empty.
By this time a next police officer had come to the other police officer and I started to talk to
him I explained what was going on and what the other officer was saying that I was using my
Van to work in, which was not the case and I told him also to look in the van and see if there
were any working tools in there. I even showed him a business card I had got made up to give
out to people in the hope of work. Which the police officer put in his own wallet to keep for
himself.
At this the other officer overheard me and the other officer talking about the business card
and then used this to say that I had in fact been working and this is why he was going to seize
my van. I told him that where is the print bushes and print in my van as this is what was on
the business card it was a printer’s business card. The officer then said why have you got
paint of your jeans I told him that I did not have money to buy new jeans and that was why I
was looking for work to try and better myself. I also told the office to go into the property
where I was due to go for a meeting and ask them if I was working there. He refused to do
this. I still feel as if there is a big issue here I am allowed to drive to a meeting and park there
as long as I am not carrying goods for a company which I was not and that could clearly be
seen my van was empty so how anyone can think I am doing anything wrong is beyond me.
The police officer did not want to hear anything I had to say and was looking for any reason
from the start to arrest me or seize my van this was his aim from the start.
It did not matter that the insurance company told him I was insured, the only thing I would
not be insured for were if I was to use my van as a tool for carriage of goods for any company
which was clearly not the case as my van was empty.
37,
I am insured to go back and forward to any place of work as my insurance covers for social
domestic and pleasure and commuting as well as motor trade.
The police officer for some reason would not hear I was insured and just at this time wanted
to seize my Van. He was asking me to sign a ticket in order to give me 6 points on my licence
and a £300 fine and for my van to be seized. Which I did understand what he was asking me
to do as this has not happened to me only this time but a further 2 times when the police on a
Sunday on both other times seized my vehicles due to them not being able to call my
insurance company. And it is showing on the database I was not insured.
I refused to sign as I knew I was insured. I told the police officer to arrest me and that we
could get this sorted at the police station, due to me refusing to sign the ticket the police
officer arrested me as I asked him to do.
All this time I was on the phone to my mother and she heard all of what was going on. PC
Smith spoke to my mum also on the phone two times as well, my mother also asked PC smith
was there anything in my Van and PC Smith told her not that the van was empty. My mother
