I think Harry must be a journalist as he seems to have the habit of leaving points inconvenient to his story out. It seems there may be more to it than reading the headline infers as in the newspaper article he points to it actually states:
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police
defended its officer's action, saying:
"Our concern is for the safety of other road users.
"If a police officer feels a driver is not in charge of their vehicle while it is moving, they will be stopped and advice or a ticket will be given. "
Emphasis is mine.
