Do they keep of a stock of knackered vans to police demonstrations? Would they use vans that had not passed the safety tests, for example?

I give up. Instead I'll just admit that the van, which we have already demonstrated had a valid number plate, was being driven, and is of a similar age to other vans used by the Met in London didn't have a valid tax disc but instead they decided to put a small red sticker, almost exactly the same size as a tax disc, in the same place a tax disc is stuck and no-one has picked up that it wasn't actually a RFL.

It has not been established either way whether the van had number plates, but it doesn't make any difference. If there is an RFL on the van, what was the expiry date.

Well when they are PERSONAL ISSUE (i.e. each cop has their own, with their own ID on it) then yes it would be too much trouble to leave it in a van.

So, there exactly the same number of helmets as there are officers, there are no spares, no training gear, no old ones from officers who have left the service (or do they get to keep them?)?
When did I "
deny there was anything in the van?"
