Grimsby driver defends warning others of speed gun

A driver prosecuted for flashing his headlights to warn motorists of a mobile police speed gun has defended his actions as his "civic duty".

Michael Thompson, 64, was pulled over by officers in Grimsby in July after warning several oncoming cars.

He was fined £175 and ordered to pay £250 costs after being found guilty of wilfully obstructing a police officer in the course of her duties.

Thompson said: "I flashed motorists to warn them of a hazard."

Thompson, of Augustine Avenue, Grimsby, was also ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge at the hearing at Grimsby Magistrates' Court.

Re: Fined for warning motorist of police speed trap...
I created a thread here awhile back, about how obstruction of justice is the WORST criminal offense law on the books. There is NO telling WHY someone flashed their brights, could be someone in front of them had their lights off, etc. Even if one admits they were warning oncoming motorist of a police trap it is in no way stopping an officer from doing his or her job! WTF, this just pisses me off.

I think that BS would TRY to fly here in the US but don't think it would. Why are your judges so damn retarded, OP?

I mean fucking A! I warn motorists all the time.

What they really meant was "Wilfully obstructing a revenue generation agent from extracting as much money as possible from the serfs".
