Gotta agree with Norman, if he stopped in the 1st place then no problems, question is why did'nt he stop. If he did'nt see or hear that thing behind him on Blues & Two's he should'nt be on the Bloody road in the first place & should be

Just a thought, would the original question get answered if it was posted in trade only?

reckoned might be additional info from non trade members & less likey slating of those who do a difficult job in the public sector working for the public we all so love ourselves

quote of youtube (look same as I read in daily mail at the time) my coment in blue

fastfoward to about 1 min

A police officer jumped on the bonnet of retired businessman Robert Whatley's car and kicked the windscreen while another hit the window with his baton 15 times until it smashed.

They then dragged the 70-year-old, who has a heart condition and recently recovered from a stroke, from his £60,000 Range Rover 1st reg 25/06/2003 so ain't worth 60k

Mr Whatley, who lives in Usk, Monmouthshire, said: 'I couldn't believe what was happening.

'The police went completely over the top -- you would have thought I had robbed a bank. I was terrified when they started smashing in the window and trying

to kick in the windscreen.

'It's something you might expect in America but not in the quiet of the British countryside.'

The officers have been suspended while the Independent Police Complaints Commission carries out an investigation

A court heard yesterday that Mr Whatley, right, was originally pulled over in a country lane in Monmouthshire by traffic police who tried to issue him with a fine for not wearing a seat belt.

But when an officer went round to the passenger side, the car lurched forward and he was knocked over.

Mr Whatley told Caerphilly magistrates court, South Wales, that he then drove off because he thought the matter had been dealt with, felt 'frail and vulnerable' and was worried he would suffer another stroke.

The police followed him for 17 minutes, filmed doing 40 ? (failed to stop for 11 miles!) during which time he did not break the speed limit. Mr Whatley said he thought the blue lights and siren of the police car meant the officers were giving him an escort home.

He finally pulled over when he was confronted by a police 'stinger' device to puncture his tyres on the road into Usk. IMHO had no intention of stopping until

The subsequent scene of the police officers attacking his vehicle was filmed on the patrol car video and shown to the court.

IMHO the police did the correct thing
