Charged at Bow Street Magistra...I am with you here!<br />Charged at Bow Street Magistrates Court (I don't suppose many bloggers can say that!) with failing to provide a statutory statement of ownership subsequent to an alleged parking offence I declined to give my evidence on oath. As I explained to the Magistrate I happened to believe in God and regarded an oath as a very serious business. In the present instance the matter was a mere trivial piece of beauraucracy and my recollection in the matter was unclear. In the event I was allowed to give my evidence from the floor of the court and within a few minutes found guilty, fined ten pounds with five pounds costs and escorted out. I don't suppose the suggestion that the court's business was trivial did me any favours but I gained a valuable insight into British Justice!Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.com
