When a pedestrian was hit by a police car which mounted the pavement, it was obvious who was going to come off worse.
After suffering a broken foot in the collision, however, Daniel Horne thought all the damage had been done.

I just can't believe it. Absolutely gob-smacked. A policeman ran over a man - and then gave him an £80 fine for "causing a dent"?! Running a man over happens - it was an accident - but to then fine him for the pleasure?!After suffering a broken foot in the collision, however, Daniel Horne thought all the damage had been done.

The policeman who issue this fine [pic above] should be disciplined for doing so. The system by which the policeman felt he had to issue the fixed penalty to cover himself also needs to be fixed. Anyone can have an accident - such as running over someone's foot - but then giving a fine to the casualty is inexcusable, especially when the ticket reads:
You ran into the n/s [near side] front wing of a marked police vehicle causing a dent
When the truth is nearer "I ran you over in my marked police vehicle, causing a dent".via Guthrum
