Didn’t the comedian Jimmy Carr get a showbiz lawyer to get him off a charge of using a hand held while driving? Iirc the brief said his client had been recording a joke he’d just thought of, therefore was using it as a recording device, not as a communication device.
Still must’ve had hold of it though.
You’re right. It was the Celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman AKA ‘Mr Loophole’ who got Jimmy Carr off the hook. Read Nicks book ‘The Art of the Loophole’ it’s a cracking read about how you should never just admit to being guilty when pulled for something, without making the buggers (Plod) prove their case in court… Even the Police get their facts wrong sometimes!!

And see how much he charges, wont afford that on truckers wages or legal aid.
Could the police have prosecuted Jimmy Carr for claiming to be a comedian? Or maybe obtaining money by deception; People pay a fortune to see a comedian and that grumpy rubber faced ■■■■■■ shows up on stage…
