Re: What's a "Human Right"?
Sorry Sir Runcible, invalid argument.
You are supposed to notify DVLA when you get a 'new' car, and that includes the registration. So although you have changed your vehicle, they should still be able to connect that car to you. Unless, of course, you fail to (truthfully) register the change of owner which is also an offence, I believe (good luck avoiding getting lifted for no road tax if you don't register it) And there's always the chance it's already been used in a crime - and the bad guys just sold it to you...
But look on the bright side - if the Thin Blue Line accuse you of a crime in one place and AFR "catches" you elsewhere, it will help you. Of course, if you don't think having incontrovertible proof of your being somewhere other than where the crime happened might be useful, by all means carry on tilting at windmills. They have the tech, they will find a way to justify it.
Would Johnny Cash, Gary Moore and Christopher Cross still have been sent down if AFR had proved they were knocking off their mistresses rather than knocking off the murder victims?
