Last night there was no sign of the 17-member Police Authority or its Chief Constable backing down from its stand. |
In this case, it is not suggested that Constable Bishop's actions were justified by the appellant's arrest on the outstanding warrant. |
Mr. Helmer appears to have been unconcerned as he talked casually with Constable Stanway. |
Objection was taken to the statement of Police Constable Trow being admitted in evidence, but we found it was properly admitted. |
In this case the problem arose because the judge knew the Chief Constable who was a witness for the prosecution. |
The Constable stated that he saw the man get out of the vehicle and provide a positive breath test. |
