A one day exercise in Northampton targeted at rogue traders stopped 71 vehicles and showed an underbelly of illegality.
Half of the vehicles stopped were flagged up as "possibly" (whatever that means) not having a current road tax disc.
One person was arrested for assaults and one vehicle was seized for road tax offences, Trading Standards officers issued 21 notices to traders relating to trading legislation and Benefit Fraud Investigation officers identified four people claiming benefits incorrectly.
Two fixed penalty notices were issued for seatbelt offences and one penalty notice was issued to a driver for using a mobile phone. Three drivers were reported for driving licence offences.
