Pulled by VOSA ..

It's illegal for them to hit your wheel nuts with a hammer or physically touch it without consent or a court order for your specific vehicle and trailer. Otherwise it's victimisation and criminal damage and the fella with the hammer can be arrested no quibble. What a QC told me recently.

https://www.gov.uk/roadside-vehicle-checks-for-commercial-drivers suggests otherwise. Victimisation would require a history of unwarranted action against the person being pulled, criminal damage would require that the government or Dft hadn't given DVSA lawful authority and that damage had been caused to the vehicle. I don't have my references to hand & can't recall how the powers were granted, but I am sure that this would have been challenged before now if the powers were not lawful as a lot of folk deeply dislike DVSA.

I'm only repeating what he said to me. You want to set the record straight and argue over it I'm sure if you Like I can provide his contact details.
