I don't know. I'm just disgusted by the police these days. It's like they contrive to make life difficult for you. And if you were to ring 999 they'd probably charge you for calling about a non emergency. They are pathetic.
You were lucky, using a mobile phone with the key in the ignition is the quick route to the electric chair in one of our Mickey Mouse courts!!
No - the police are not right. Keep the evidence of the breakdown (garage repair cost receipt etc) 'cause you will need these for presentation in Court, if the law persist in prosecution.
Pay up and walk away.Im affraid that being innocent is not enough in this country.You will face a heavier fine and a criminal record if you go to court.
