Everyday you see cars - loads of cars - drive down Northbrook street unchallenged. Even members of the public go up to the driver remonstrate with them. Finally I've seen a cop (well PCSO) book an errant driver. But will this preven other drivers from driving down Northbook Street outside certain times?

They have a power to direct traffic...... so if at a road closure they instruct you to stop and turn around you must do so. So you could argue that they have a power to stop a vehicle driving in a pedestrian area. They do not have a power under section 163 Road traffic Act. They could not stop you in a police vehicle whilst your vehicle is moving along.

You will see that most have a traffic label somewhere on there uniform which means they can issue certain non endorsable tickets.

Oh no GMR. You must read this post and it's link. Read the 4th bullet point down on "PCSO" uniform. It seems to quite clearly say "shoulder number"! Ohhhhh noooooo!

Of course it is called a shoulder number... I never said it wasn't called that. But it is also called the other as well.

Ummm GMR please see the quote below that I have just taken from one of your many heated debates Stroud Green Trees post #75


"Sorry... I should have said epaulette number ... not shoulder number actually... the only thing is police officers don’t call them shoulder number but epaulette numbers; curious you should say ‘shoulder number.’"

This seems to imply that you did say that it wasn't called a 'shoulder number'. Am I being a little pedantic maybe? But I do love to catch people out.
