They say that nobody is above the law, but that doesn’t apply to the Queen of England.

Someone called the West Yorkshire Police Department because the Queen wasn’t wearing a seatbelt when she was being driven through London. Technically, everyone needs to wear a seatbelt.

The police were not amused at someone calling 999 (Britain’s 911) for such an “emergency.”

BBC contacted the Queen’s press office, which is contributing to the cover-up. The West Yorkshire Police Department is doubling down on its stance.

The Queen travelled to Westminster alongside Prince Charles for the formal start of the Parliamentary year.

Her press office said it would not comment on the tweet.

Tom Donohoe, of West Yorkshire Police, said too often 999 calls were made for non emergencies.

“I cannot stress enough that the 999 number is for emergencies only,” he said, adding that the force typically received more than 1,000 emergency calls a day.

Thank you to this brave Brit for their pursuit of justice. Enjoy your stay in the Tower of London.
