A former Special Constable is facing a misconduct charge after he fitted an illegal flashing blue light in his car windscreen and used them to pull over a driver.

Kamran Hussain drove along Manchester Road in Huddersfield in April last year after fitting the flashing lights, a misconduct hearing will be told next week.

The Special Constable - who was off-duty - used these blue lights to stop another road user and identified himself as a police officer, it is claimed.

The police were called and Mr Hussain was arrested on suspicion of impersonating a police officer, the hearing will be told.

Once it was established that he was in fact a serving Special Constable, Mr Hussain was further arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public officer, according to West Yorkshire Police.

On September 9, the former Special Constable pleaded guilty to using a vehicle on a road fitted with a blue warning beacon and received a fine of £119, £85 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

Details of the 'special case misconduct hearing' have been published on the West Yorkshire Police website ahead of a hearing on Wednesday, January 22.

It is claimed that the former Special breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in relation to honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy and conduct.
