On 14th November 2013 I was driving my van in order to attend a meeting with the owner of
an up and coming night club for a prospective future job.
On driving along Brixton Hill I noticed some police on the side of the road stopping cars, I
passed the 1st set of police and was not stopped, I then passed a 2nd set of police on the
roadside and was not stopped, as I passed the 2nd set of police at the roadside I was around
200 yards to the place I was going to the meeting, I then pulled over parked my vehicle up
just in front of them and waited in my van, while my friend got out to get something to eat
and drink for us, we had got there around 13:00 hours and the meeting was set for 14:00
hours.
A police officer approached my van and said he wanted to conduct some checks on the
vehicle under the Road Traffic Act. I now know this officer to be PC Geoghegan.
PC Geoghegan asked why I had stopped and I explained to him I had a meeting in the night
club that we were outside, as it was due to open to the public in around 1-month time for a
prospective future job as a manager of the night club. While I was there I
was also planning on asking if there were any jobs for Dean and that was the reason Dean had
come with me, I explained all this to PC Geoghegan.
I knew there was an issue with the Motor Insurance Bureau and showing my vehicles as
uninsured as I have encountered this problem before, and this is why I carry my insurance
documents with me. I passed the police officer my insurance documents for him to check.

I then called my insurance company as I keep their number on me as it is not shown on my
insurance documents. So that PC Geoghegan could check I was insured to drive, He spoke to
Martin Jerkins from Broadsure Direct and was told I was insured PC Geoghegan did not say
anything about any tools in my van to Martin Jerkins from Broadsure Direct.
PC Geoghegan did not seem happy with this; it was at this point PC Geoghegan called my
insurance company again directly I overheard PC Geoghegan say I had tools in my van.
Which I was upset about as I knew there were no tools in the van; PC Geoghegan had not
searched my van so would not have known anything that was in my van.
By this time a second officer had now joined us, and I started talking to him and explaining
the situation as to what was going on PC Geoghegan was still on the phone to the insurance
company. I asked the second officer to check my van to see if there were tools in there, the
second officer did this and saw my van had nothing in there.
I believe it was the 2nd officer that saw the business card at the front of my van but it is a
very long time ago so I am not 100% sure, I know I spoke to the officer about the business
card and told him they were made up for Dean to try and get him some work. The police
officer I am sure put the business card into his own wallet to keep for himself.
PC Geoghegan then came back to me and told me I was not insured and due to this was going
to seize my Van due to me using it for business use. PC Geoghegan also must have overheard
me, and the other police officer talking and made a comment about the business card, I told
him they were made up for Dean to try and find him work.
I was upset and called my mother to ask her to call my insurance company, Martin Jerkins
called me back and again confirmed I was insured and confirmed that with the PC
Geoghegan which he took no notice of.
My mother also called me back and she asked to speak to the police officer. PC Geoghegan
would not speak to her, but the other police officer there spoke to my mother. This police
officer did confirm there were no tools in the van to my mother. There was more than one
call my mother made that day to me and spoke with the other police officer as each time PC
