It's a long story, but basically the car had been seen and identified because of a couple of small bits that Scarface knew about and nobody else. He told us and we kept an eye out for it. Today was just pure luck as most coppering is, and when I got behind him in my 2.0 Diesel Astra ( nice motor honest ) he left me for dust after lighting him up. Thankfully I had got a look at the driver as he drove past so when we finally caught up with him in the park we knew who to nick.
Still thanks for all the beer offers, being the consumate professional that I am, I will take you up on them. ;-)
As for leniency, I can count on one hand the amount of people I have prosecuted for traffic stuff. I prefer to catch real villains, like the buggers today (allegedly) :-)
Nice to meet you all!
