Leeds police officer jailed after getting his wife to help him try and dodge two speeding tickets
A West Yorkshire police officer has been jailed for six months after he got his wife to help him try to dodge two speeding tickets.
His wife, who had been employed as a civilian staff member for 17 years, was described as an honest, hardworking mum who had thrown away her good character. Prosecutor Richard Walters described Mark Hinchliffe was caught on camera speeding twice in Morley while driving the couple’s VW Passat and Renault Megane vehicles at 37mph and 36mph on the same 30mph road.
She said he had been highly regarded in his local community and added: ”He is a thoroughly decent man...or was. He feels keenly the fact that he has let everybody down. Those who relied on him and had high expectations of him.” Miss Barlow said going to prison was every police officer’s worst fear and she urged Judge Rose to impose a short custodial sentence. The couple, who had no previous convictions, both admitted doing acts tending or intended to pervert the course of justice by falsely declaring to West Yorkshire Police that Lisa Hinchliffe had been driving their cars on April 30 and June 1, 2021.
