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.
Leeds-based PC Mark Hinchliffe, 43, who has now resigned from the force, and his 38-year-old wife Lisa, who left her post as a civilian staff member with the police last year, both pleaded guilty to two offences of perverting the course of justice at a court hearing last November.
This afternoon (Wed) the Bradford couple, who have two children, appeared alongside each other in the dock at the city's crown court and Judge Jonathan Rose said their offending had undermined the justice system.
