Yeah, so it's England...so what?

The case of a lorry driver who waved to warn motorists of a speed trap is to be heard in the House of Lords.

The High Court previously ruled he was not guilty of obstructing officers in the execution of their duty.

Charles Glendinning, 55, of Yeovil, was prosecuted after police saw him giving his arm signal on the A303 at Tinkers Hill, Stoke Trister, in June 2005.

On Wednesday Lord Justice Scott Baker and Mr Justice Owen said the case raised issues fit for consideration.

The point is not whether he wins or lose. Even if he does win this time someone in the future will lose and every case from then on will be judged the same way. All they need is one win.

No, that's not really the important part. What then? Well, people are starting to see police as an occupying army, even the regular joes who are trying to go about their own business.

This doesn't bode well for the cops and it doesn't bode well for everyone else. Of course, this could all be turned around with a simple decision. No fines or any kind of monetary compensation from the enforcement of crimes shall go to any law enforcement officer or its employer. Where it goes someone else can decide, but I think it would definitely help cop vs. other relations.
