During the last 2 years I have been breath tested by the police 17 times and the readings have always been zero.
In addition I have been taken down the police station on 5 occasions in relation to crimes in the local area. On 4 occasions the police were able to prove I had committed no offence and on 1 occasion there was no evidence that I had or had not committed the crime other than the report.
I have asked for the reasons for these incidents and the police have stated they had received reports I had been drinking excessively.
On 6 of the occasions I had been in a pub drinking sparkling water and orange juice and on the other occasions I had not consumed any alcahol.
I think somebody must have a grudge. I am just wandering if I can make the police take any action against this person/s as it is a waste of police time and mine.

just typed this on the 3 points thread

Daves, I'd write to the Chief Constable (or whoever is the Top Policeman in your area) with your concerns. They might be already aware of a particular individual or group who are acting out of spite against you.
I think albaqwerty is right.
Going by logic drink driving has to be acted on quickly so the police have to stop you regardless.
After the other arrests the police are probably being more careful about arresting you and they may be aware somebody is wasting police time but they are waiting for evidence or trying to catch the person.

Alternatively you might have ticked a policeman off...

Hi Nox

As far as the suspected drink driving is concerned I do not think I can blame individual officers.
On all occasions except 1 it has been different officers and in the 1 case after he breath tested me he said have we met before?.
He could not even remember if it was anything to do with the police force and when we thought back it was nearly 15 months since he breath tested me so it is understandable it took a bit of time for the penny to drop.
In all fairness I did not remember him till that point.
I really think somebody who has a grudge is causing the problem and not the police.
I will write to the chief constable and I will see what happens.

Dave
My mates GF had a grudge against me (anyone female actually) She'd phone the police on a regular basis (usually drunk) The last time I spoke to the police they said it had been noted that malicious reporting is going on.

Basically, they are ignoring any calls from her regarding me.
Hi ummmm

I can see why the police are ignoring reports against you if it is for non dangerous crimes.
I do not think the police will ignore drink driving reports as a drunk driver is a danger to the public.
I would have however thought if somebody kept reporting Dave on their own phone's then the previous calls would have flashed up.
They could be calling from public phones.
