Nicked for blowing his nose!

Motorist being interviewed on telly this morning.
He was nicked whilst stationary ...he reached over ...got a tissue ...blew his nose.
The traffic moves forward he releases the handbrake and drives on.
Nicked for not being in full control of the vehicle.
This to me isn't the police protecting the public ...this is the police attacking the public.
This is not what we pay them for surely?

    I first read about this on Wednesday, the same day that I drove about 150miles round trip with a cold. I remember blowing my nose whilst driving on at least one occassion.

    I think this story is rediculous, especially when his vehicle was actually stationary at the time!

    OOHHH!! I saw this earlier... it's so stupid!! I got a warning the other day from a copper for being on my phone while on my bike. I was just taking it out my pocket and putting it in my bag and he told me I could get a fine! I was like WHAT?

    I can understand if he had been driving at speed and was faffing around trying to find a tissue or something. But whilst stationary?!?!

    The guy should be pardoned and the stupid copper disciplined.

    The force will most likely have 'learned lessons' from the incident.

    Utter, utter jobsworth cunt.

    I wonder if you can be done for picking your nose in a public place? If so, this man had better watch out...
