But not just England, laws against honking anyway...
"The only legal use of a horn is for a purpose related to safety. Honking after another driver has cut you off — illegal. Using your horn to warn another driver who appears to be drifting into your lane — most likely legal.
But I must confess. Honking to get a texter moving is OK with me."
Honky honker honking at another honky - thumbs up.
Honky honker honking at a person of color - thumbs down.
Person of color honking at anyone - two thumbs up.
I have seen recent stories where young black kids, who are not even teenagers, are held at gunpoint handcuffed by police over SUSPICION of having committed some crime alleged by a caller. I then read hundreds of comments by whites saying that the police acted properly and that just because they are under 12 does not mean that they can't be hardened criminals.
My point? You can't have it both ways. You can't be ok with black innocence being downtrodden then have a problem with white innocence being down trodden. Black people are also asking "where does it end" when they are assumed to be hardened criminals and stopped and detained by the police, if not falsely convicted.
Translation: Since some white people have commented that police abuse of power with regard to black males is justified - none of the rest of us whites who didn't comment that way can complain about police abuse of power with regard to white folks.

The article stated that it had been recorded by the police as a crime even though the police decided not to take further action.
The woman was also questioned under caution, in other words she was read her rights which in the UK are slightly different to the US Miranda Rights -
"You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence".

Mr Stansfeld, whose area includes Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, said the elderly woman later wrote to him asking if he had recorded the case as a crime.
He added: "She asked us to remove it but the law is such that once it's on the books we cannot do so."

I certainly don't support political extremes whether the hard left or far right, and I don't have any great liking for politicians full stop.
I would rep you but it won't let me.
