Private hire driver fined £2,000 for illegal pick-up A private hire driver who illegally picked up a customer in the town centre has been ordered to pay more than £2,000 after appearing in court. Mohammed Arif, of Northumberland Avenue, denied plying for trade in Friar Street on December 8, 2011, but was found guilty after a trial at Newbury Magistrates Court on Tuesday, October 30. The court heard Arif, 61, had been caught during an undercover operation by Reading Borough Council with Thames Valley Police officers acting as customers. Magistrates fined Arif £110 and ordered him to pay costs of £2,016.60. Councillor Paul Gittings, Reading’s lead member for environment, said he was pleased with the outcome. “Most people who flag down a private hire vehicle in the street do not understand it is illegal and they are uninsured for the journey,” he said. source: http://www.getreading.co.uk/news/s/2123 ... gal_pickup |

Actually sharia law wouldn't allow you to behave in this manner. The more i read your stuff, the more it seems you are fixated with any thing Muslim. |

Quote: Magistrates fined Arif £110 and ordered him to pay costs of £2,016.60. It seems that the fine is only quite small and appears that the crime is insignificant. Had he pleaded guilty his fine would have been minimal and considering he may well have creamed quite a bit illegally plying for hire prior to being caught makes it worth the risk, unfortunately

Given recent high profile court cases this was a minor offence (whatever religion or race of the offender....) |
