CPS outfox Mr Loophole

Thursday 12th February 2015

Prosecutors used a 143-year-old cow-herding law to convict a man of driving a golf buggy while over the drink-drive limit. Paul Crawford was represented by Nick Freeman (aka Mr Loophole), who argued that as golf buggies could not be considered suitable for the road a charge of drink driving could not stand. The CPS then changed the charge to one of driving while unfit, which covers any "mechanically propelled vehicle".
