This related to the alleged instance of her driving off after a motoring accident without giving her insurance details, an offence carrying a possible six-month jail term.
The Mail reports that:
"Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman has been questioned by police for allegedly leaving the scene of a traffic accident and driving while using her mobile phone.
The MP attended a pre-arranged appointment with officers, believed to have taken place in the past fortnight.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman confirmed that lawyers were in discussions with police regarding the case and that they had offered ‘preliminary advice’ – but were awaiting further evidence.
A full police file is expected to be sent to the CPS next month, when a decision will be taken on whether to prosecute Ms Harman.
A source said: ‘Police took a formal statement from Mrs Harman but she was not arrested.’"
Of course there will be no prosecution, 'it will not be in the public interest' but what caught my eye when this story was first reported and again in this report was Harriet Harman's alleged high-handedness
"After the accident a witness, who is a neighbour of the damaged car’s owner, is understood to have approached Ms Harman’s car but the MP is said to have wound down her window and said simply: ‘I’m Harriet Harman... you know where you can get hold of me.’"
This Labour government is full of people who think they are above the law and beyond reproach; unfortunately I fear they may be correct.
