Officers working for Richard Brunstrom are confiscating motorcycles

Cops seize motorcycle over illegal plate


Police are confiscating motorcycles over illegal number plates.

An MCN reader told how his bike was seized because one digit on his number plate was incorrect.

Officers working for controversial police chief Richard Brunstrom in North Wales impounded the bike, the reader said.

North Wales Police refused to comment.

Last week it emerged the force was threatening to seize bikes from riders not charged with any criminal offence. The warnings are issued under legislation designed to tackle anti-social behaviour.

Re: Officers working for Richard Brunstrom are confiscating motorcycles

hmm im not really sure what hes complaining about.....ive seen car driver who alter their number plates using the fixings to blatantly change the plate to read something else and you cant even see its been altered until you're right behind it

Im sure if a cage pilot knocked him off and got away scot free cuz their number plate had been altered and couldnt be traced there would be complaints about that as well....

number plates are only legal when they're specific sizes and fonts for a reason....when you alter it or use tiny number plates cuz it looks "neater" you're only making it easy for theiving scum to get yer bike and get away with it cuz it doesnt get picked up on ANPR..
guys only got himself to blame for the outcome - if that "special" reg number was that irresistable he should have either bought it or had some more imgaination and thought of an acceptable legal one - most of the old bill give bikers a hard enough time - why give them more reasons to tug and hassle you is beyond me

Being a biker is antisocial in some circles.

I bet they wouldn't go impounding chav-mobiles with their plates written in funny scripts, oh no.... as far as Brunstrom is concerned, bikers are scum of the earth that need forcing off his patch.

I bladdy well hope not! I know for a fact that mine is below legal size and I queried it at the dealer, who informed me that it was impossible to get a bigger one on the bike. I'm not sure where that leaves me if I get pulled by the fuzz (apart from in a great deal of pain, before someone else says it)?
