Two producers in 24hrs :-/

Two producers in 24hrs :-/
Whats the point?
I got stopped for a numberplate defect and got a producer for docs + i have to get my front numberplate changed and a defect notice stamped by an MOT station.
Then less than 24hrs later, i was parked up and caught the attention of another police car. I showed him the previous producer and defect notice and he gave me another one :-/
So now i have TWO, wtf is that all about?
Do i need to get BOTH defect notices stamped at twice the cost?
What a total waste of police time! Im sure someone somewhere was being robbed, or house broken into or even worse a scooby stolen but no, these coppers decide to duplicate already in force paperwork, hmmmm.

Same as this, but just on the front.
I havent got a problem with getting a defect notice for it, just not TWO, even before ive had chance to fix it.
7 days to produce docs
14 days to change plate

Presumably at that point in time, they didn't have any other duty to attend to....
As usual, far too easy to target the police. You knew your plate was illegally spaced, so get on with it....and quit your moaning

You're obviously missing the point. What benefit is there to the police/legal system by issuing the same thing TWICE. Surely even you can see theres no point whatsoever. Or is there? Will he get a little silver star for issuing yet another producer/defect notice? Or maybe its all about statistics rather than common sense :-/

Boro, I understand the point you're making, why did the jobsworth give you a second producer AFTER you'd showed him the one you'd already received.
Don't rise to imlach, he's a professional ********, his speciality is partially reading a post then slagging you off for the bit he's chosen to read.

Boro,
If you're wanting your name on the back of the car, why don't you just get a sticker to replace your web address one on the back window - with the words "Boro" on it....
It'll have bigger letters and more clarity than trying to make your registration plate look like your name.
Simple solution

God you have got to love the do-gooder know it alls on here. I bet youve never done anything illegal ever have you?
The guy has got two producers for the same thing. Fair enough hes done something wrong but the cops are taking the **** IMHO.

You'd do well to not resort to playground names in discussions. To resort to calling someone a "********" in your first post is pretty pathetic. Makes your argument look oh so grown up
Yawn.

If DocJock is correct and that is the reason, it would indeed seem that boro has a valid argument, i.e: these days the police go after the easy targets (motorists).
BTW I have yet to see a valid argument for the case of prosecuting people with illegally spaced plates, if I witnessed a criminal act involving a vehicle, I am damned sure that I'd be more likely to remember a plate like boro's, than one of these half-ar5ed new type plates they've come up with

try 9 in a week, 2 within the space of 5 hours
I ended up just putting the plate right at the end of it, its really not worth the hassle, that was 4 months ago, ive never even had a second look since then.
I asked the last copper if he had nothing better to do, he said obviously not. Sir.
there was mention that if I had 3 reports then the plate would be taken away and a Q plate put on the vehicle. apparantly it was never reported.
umm.

Well 2nite im gettin the defects notices stamped, thankfully for free by a my friendly local MOT station ;-> and ill be popping into the station with my docs, no doubt they will find it funny when they have to do TWO one after each other. Causing even more paperwork for an already underfunded/overworked policeforce. Yeh right!.
Hopefully if i ever NEED the boys in blue, they will be as efficient then as they seem to have been now.

The reason you got the second defect notice was because you continued to use the car, despite already knowing the number plate was illegal. You are not supposed to continue using the car until you have the fault rectified. Therefore as you continued to use the car without rectifying the fault you received a second defect notice. Its the same as bald tyres, or knackered exhausts, you are supposed to attend to the defect before using the car once more.
I had a similar problem, having borrowed my sister's car with dodgy plates, the car was spotted parked with the dodgy plate, a traffic car stopped and took photo's and issued a defect notice. I said I'd pop to the local motor factors immediately to get the plates done, and was told point blank, that if I used the car to make the trip I could be stopped. In the end I took the chance, knowing that I only had myself to blame if I got stopped.

I once had a producer.
I couldn't find the docs. I was subsequently charged for not having licence/insurance/mot, even though I could provide their serial numbers (I had them on file on the pc). When it came to the court day, I thought I'd wear my suit, last used a few months previously at a wedding. I found my documents in a pocket. So I thought if I produced them in court I'd be ok. Well, even though I had done nothing wrong, I was fined £500 for failing to produce within seven days.
