So, "A Tory MSP has been cleared of using a mobile phone while driving through north east Fife on 7 May this year. Ted Brocklebank's solicitor argued that there was no evidence to suggest the devise he was looking at had been sending or receiving communications."
Carnegie always thought it was standard practice in these cases for the police to get a copy of the accused's mobile phone records to prove conclusively whether or not they had been using the phone when an offence was detected. They obviously didn't do that in Mr Brocklebank's case. Lucky for him. Bit of an oversight by the cops though.
If Mr Brocklebank had been found guilty though it would have made the headlines on the front page of one of his leaflets from his election campaign in 2003 look very ironic. Not so much the "Lab-Lib Criminal Record," as one of his own.
