Police car policy heavy-handed

Impounding foreign vehicles owned by Brits visiting UK is not something the police should be proud of

Published Modified

PETER West’s letter [about UK police impounding foreign-registered cars] has serious implications for those who visit Britain several times a year for short stays.

Northamptonshire police are proud of Operation Andover which they say has caught criminals, but they do not mention those falsely accused.

Expats should also be aware of e-Borders which will require everyone entering or leaving the UK to provide a great deal of personal information.

e-Borders, a security scheme already introduced on airlines, means firms give the government travel and passport details. Individuals have to provide passport numbers when booking.
