How to "Stop The Madness" in society (part three)
The David Icke Newsletter, August 31st 2008
THE POLICEMAN WAS RIGHT ...
... ONLY 'THE WAR' IS STILL TO COME
Hello all ...
You may remember a Newsletter in March this year headed 'Is the Meter Maid Coming Into Your Home?' If not, you can find it in the Newsletter archive at
Davidicke.com.
I also highlighted the information in that article in my presentations to both the media and the public at the Big Brother by-election in July. - click here to see the public event.
I explained how I had received a letter from a UK traffic warden who reads my books and had become extremely alarmed and bewildered by information he had been given in the course of his job, which involved issuing fines to motorists for illegal parking. (Women who do the same job became known as 'Meter Maids' after a Beatles song about 'Lovely Rita, Meter Maid'.)
Here is a summary of what appeared in that Newsletter of six months ago before I put it into the context of what has happened this week:
The man who wrote to me, I will call him 'Andy', has been a traffic warden for some two decades and his job has always been focussed on issues relating to traffic and parking law - nothing else - because that is all that traffic wardens were supposed to be involved with.
Traffic wardens as they used to be
All was well, he said, until about five years ago when changes in management brought a whole new change of emphasis. Suddenly, it was no longer about keeping the traffic moving efficiently; it was all about issuing as many parking tickets as possible to increase dramatically the money taken from motorists in fines. Andy said that many wardens left in protest with comments like 'The heart has been ripped out of this job' and 'We are now managed by robots'.
In his letter to me, Andy described how he had been asked to see his office manager for a 'quiet word', during which he was given three cards for himself and his colleagues:
* The first card dealt with his work on parking issues. Fair enough, that's his job, but the other two left him confused and increasingly concerned at what was going on.
* Card number two was a 'Pace' card, which is short for 'Police Action and Court Evidence, with the words that police officers have to say in law when they are arresting someone:
'You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.'
Traffic wardens have no need whatsoever to know this police caution text because they are not in a position where they would - or can at present - use it. Only the police and some other government law enforcement officers have this power of arrest.
* The third card authorised Andy and his colleagues to act on behalf of the local council for the enforcement of various statutory provisions - 'including entering and inspecting premises'.
Excuse me? What on earth has entering and inspecting premises and the words said during a police arrest got to do with people who simply issue tickets to motorists illegally parked??
