I can't see senior officers personally checking out every van before they leave the yard. In fact I can't see senior officers remotely caring about a sticker as long as it isn't insulting or inappropriate.

5 seconds in. Lower nearside of the windscreen. Small, red, round. Looks a hell of a lot like a tax disc to me.
I have, I don't even live in London. There is this marvellous invention called television. On it you can sometimes see events happening hundreds, even thousands, of miles away.
Recently I saw some big demonstrations in London. I saw a lot of Police vans, some had the current Met colours on them, some were older and had the 'old' Met colours.

Seriously?
First of all you deny there was anything in the van. Now when its proved there was items in the van stolen by the mob you claim they might have been 'overlooked'
NATO helmets are personal issue, they aren't just left in vans when they go in for servicing.
