It might be sharp practice but I don't think it's illegal.

It's a breach of contract (you've paid for something that the other party hasn't provided).

Not illegal and your remedy is via the Small Claims Court if the other party doesn't refund.

But they always will which leaves them free to chuck into the bin any letters you send them demanding compensation.

Yeah so they quoted you for a year and within a few days you changed the metrics on which they'd quoted you via an at fault claim.

All insurance companies will come after you for extra £s.

A bit different if you'd claimed after ten months, they'd probably have waited until renewal to sting you.

And how will the UK police demand anything from me?

The user's IP address is logged here by the forum software (bottom right of the user's post).

The police will get a Court Order and serve that Order on whoever is named as the owner of this site.

When the site owner hands the IP address over, the police will then serve a Court Order on the ISP who owns that IP address.

At that point, the name and address of whoever the account relates to is disclosed.  Note that the person who pays the bill might not be the person who has been posting nasty words.

It's a long shot to get the Police to jump through such hoops but it does happen occasionally.

It's not usually the Police who get involved in these types of things, it's agencies higher up the chain (so you have to have been downloading copious amounts of illegal material or posting that you're planning on blowing up the Government before you draw attention to yourself).

The parking space is rented by my friend and my friend sub-let the space to me.

Hmmm, what does the lease say about sub-letting?

Almost certainly prohibited.

Any witnesses?  Dashcam footage?

I suspect he'll deny all knowledge if you pursue it.

Or miraculously reveal two "independent" witnesses who saw you actually drive into him.

If he keeps this stunt going I suspect he'll end up going for a walk on Harrowdown Hill.

Plod can obtain the name associated with the account tied to the IP address at the time the words were posted via a warrant as you rightly surmise.
They can only get an IP address if the US authorities cooperate, which is a high bar.

I was thinking along the lines of your keyboard warrior who gets his/her internet access via, say, Virgin Media, a UK outfit.

What is a police force going to do with an IP address? As I understand it they would need a warrant to obtain the subscriber's details from an ISP, they can't just call up Vodafone or BT and get a name and address.

Plod can obtain the name associated with the account tied to the IP address at the time the words were posted via a warrant as you rightly surmise.

But here's the thing.  Just because cp8759 pays the bill for his/her internet access, it doesn't mean he/she posted the bad words.  He/she simply says, there are x people in my house using my internet, it wasn't me.  And Plod have to go away with their tails between their legs.

Equally, and here's a real world example, I allow my internet to be accessed by my neighbour via wifi (I've given her the SSID and password) - she's on her own, works hard but has next to no money and can't afford her own internet access.

What she does with it is down to her (I've told her no video streaming during the day when I need my internet for work).....but other than that, if she posts on Twitter that she wants to nuke the UK Government and the trail comes back to me, I'll tell Plod to go forth and multiply, not my problem.

And all of that is before you get into VPN usage.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Duplicate NIP

When I attended my one, and only (hopefully), SAC in 2015, the two Smashy And Nicey characters took turns, like a tag-team of tedium, to say "don't drive so fast" in as many different ways as possible.  With PowerPoint slides.  For four hours.

And the worst thing was that they really were trying to make it interesting.  Bless them.

But at the end they did implore us to keep our documentation from the day to prove we'd attended, apparently it was quite common to get follow-ups because of administrative ****-ups.

The Flame Pit / CAZ let off - CP, one of yours?

Wonder if this one where CP has lent a hand? :)

Genuine question (as I don't know how these things work) - if the council refuse your reps and it gets as far as a Tribunal and you win because their case was fatally flawed from the get go.......can you claim costs?

Et voila?

There's a couple of elements styling that contributes to that white gap, that's 2px, 1px is slightly thinner but there's no middle ground  ;D

Better.

Much better.

Aesthetic or otherwise, this looks much better:

First post here, the site seems very well put together and a vast improvement on Pepipoo.

One gripe - the posts all seem to merge into one; they need to be separated with a black line.
