    1. Yes
    2. No
    3. Yes - he does realize he had a bad moment.

    Do you think "I was dashing to see my accountant on the advise of NLUK" would work?

    Then you might like to find a solicitor and get them to ask about the chain of custody of the camera footage. As others have previously pointed out on another thread you can't just use any old camera footage in court.

    A few hundred quid on a solicitor might be worth it...

    The only people who ride on the pavement are smash and grab robbers. He's lucky some old woman didn't take her handbag to his head....
