Liability of Police for car damage.
My new car somehow had a drugs marker put on it in error and I was stopped by the police.
My car was driven to the police station by a police officer and the windscreen shattered on the way.
No drugs were found on me or in the car as expected and the marker has now been removed.
The insurance on the car does cover the damage but there is an £75 excess.
I have complained to the police but they have just said this could have happened at any time and there was no negligence on their part.
I would not have been on that road however if I had not been stopped.
Also the car was driven 17 miles off my route. Are the police liable for this?.
