          Dated the 29 day of April 2015

          I am providing this statement to the Metropolitan Police Department of Professional Standards to outline my complaint regarding
          an incident that took place on 14th November 2013 at Brixton Hill SW2.

          Throughout this statement I will refer to my vehicle which is a Ford Transit van registration CX52 JRZ. My insurance for this van
          is held through a broker of KGM insurance called Broadsure Direct and the following people were spoken to at some stage during
          this whole incident; Martin Jenkins, Jessica and Kelly Tiller along with a lot of emails to other people and calls.

          My insurance policy is a Motor Trade; cover was Comprehensive with the use permitted of Social Domestic and Pleasure and for
          Motor Trade purposes. For clarity I would advise that Motor Trade use would allow the carriage of tools required specifically for
          use in connection with Motor Trade activities. I would not be insured to use my van for the carriage of goods for any company.

          On the day in question I was in possession of my insurance documents.

          On 14th November 2013 I was driving my van in order to attend a meeting with the owner of an up and coming night club for a
          prospective future job.

          On driving along Brixton Hill I noticed some police on the side of the road stopping cars, I passed the 1st set of police and was not
          stopped, I then passed a 2nd set of police on the roadside and was not stopped, as I passed the 2nd set of police at the roadside I
          was around 200 yards to the place I was going to the meeting, I then pulled over parked my vehicle up just in front of them and
          waited in my van, while my friend got out to get something to eat and drink for us, we had got there around 13:00 hours and the
          meeting was set for 14:00 hours.

          A police officer approached my van and said he wanted to conduct some checks on the vehicle under the Road Traffic Act. I now
          know this officer to be PC Geoghegan.

          PC Geoghegan asked why I had stopped and I explained to him I had a meeting in the night club that we were outside, as it was
          due to open to the public in around 1-month time for a prospective future job as a manager of the night club. While I was there I


          was also planning on asking if there were any jobs for Dean and that was the reason Dean had come with me, I explained all this
          to PC Geoghegan.

          I knew there was an issue with the Motor Insurance Bureau and showing my vehicles as uninsured as I have encountered this
          problem before and this is why I carry my insurance documents with me. I passed the police officer my insurance documents for
          him to check.
