A West Yorkshire Police officer managed to prosecute himself for driving an untaxed vehicle thanks to a form-filling blunder.
The force's Roads Police Unit revealed the error on social media after sharing this image of the letter the officer inadvertently and mistakenly issued to himself.
-> Leeds police issue renewed appeal after woman, 20, dies after being hit by minicab
A tweet from the force said: "To the great amusement of the rest of the office, one of our colleagues managed to fill a form in incorrectly, and prosecuted himself for driving an untaxed vehicle! Definately a bunable offence?" (Yes, that says 'bunable' not banable...)
The officer apparently put his own details on the form instead of those of the person who was supposed to be prosecuted.
The letter the officer accidentally sent himself said: "We have received evidence that at 21.20 hours on 15.02.2018 this vehicle was being used or kept while untaxed in Oak Lane Bradford.
"It is an offence to use or keep an untaxed vehicle and our latest information shows that you were the vehicle's keeper on that date.
"Even if you have taxed the vehicle since this date the offence still stands. You must now pay an out of court settlement of £81 in full by 01.04.2018 to stop us taking you to court.
"This is separate to fees paid to the agency's wheel clamping contractors if your vehicle is clamped or impounded.
"Yours sincerely, Enforcement Officer."

Police worker mistakenly fines himself over untaxed car
Image caption A letter threatening court action was addressed to the police employee
A police worker who unwittingly prosecuted himself for having an untaxed vehicle has been mocked by colleagues online.
West Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Unit said the man had "managed to fill a form in incorrectly" - seemingly putting his own name on the paperwork rather than the actual offender.
In a letter from the DVLA he was told to pay £81 or face court action.
The letter appears to have been posted to a police station in Bradford.
The Roads Policing Unit posted: "To the great amusement of the rest of the office, one of our colleagues managed to fill a form in incorrectly, and prosecuted himself for driving an untaxed vehicle!"
The letter, dated 15 March, states the untaxed vehicle was found in Oak Street, Bradford, on 15 February, and makes a demand for payment of the fine by 1 April.

‘I’m busted!’: UK cop accidentally fines himself for untaxed vehicle

The West Yorkshire Roads Policing Unit said the officer had "managed to fill a form in incorrectly," apparently filling out his own name rather than the name of the actual offender on the form.
In a letter from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, he was told to pay £81 or face legal action. The letter, dated March 15, states that the untaxed vehicle was found in Oak Street, Bradford. The car was fined on February 15 and the deadline to pay the fine is April 1.
The West Yorkshire Roads Policing Unit posted a snap of the letter on Twitter to shame their co-worker for their “bunable offence". "To the great amusement of the rest of the office, one of our colleagues managed to fill a form in incorrectly, and prosecuted himself for driving an untaxed vehicle,” the road policing unit wrote.
RT has yet to find out if the officer was made to buy doughnuts for the entire office. What we can confirm, however, is that Twitter reacted with hilarity (as usual).
