Actually not quite true.....i was parked up at the time!
A white plain ford focus blocked me in. 4 of those civvy type police (blue bands on their uniforms) got out and one came over.
He said did i mind if i waited until a patrol turned up, they wanted to asked me something......so none the wiser what they wanted I said I didnt mind.
Patrol car turned up and a lady officer explained someone had reported me for drink driving......and they had to follow this up and therefore required to do a breathalizer test.....so i said no probs.
Sat in the back of the patrol car.....while the officer messed about trying to find her breathalizer kit.....only to admit she couldnt find it ::) and another patrol car was on its way.
5 mins later that turned up......and breath test done....it showed 0
as you would expect i hope.....certainly i knew it would show 0 .
So now you have 4 civvy officers and a car, 1 lady officer in a patrol and a motorway patrol with 2 more men officiers in it........just to give me a breath test ::)
Dont know who gave the report of me suposedly drink driving........and doubt i ever will.....but i am a bit suspucious of how they knew where to find me........may have been chance i guess.
But i will phoning my office on monday (and not the management either......wont get any info out of them....someone else in the company ;) ) and ask if the police contacted them and they gave my gps fix to the police.......would that not be breach of data protection....without proper paperwork request.. :-/

It can be done from your moble and to within 5 meteres in a urban area,
last time I checked you only needed Srg to request it from the service provider.

Hi TD,
You weren't weaving about whilst driving, maybe looking for something and not realising it leading someone to believe you were pi**ed and reporting your reg. # >:(?
They can give me a breathalyzer test all day long if they like, know it will pass :).
-
As long as you blew "zero" that's all that matters :y
As you say if you have blood pressure, it'll certainly send it soaring...
Tomorrow will be a better day :) :) :) :)

You haven't upset any competitors have you? Sometimes opposition can take vengeance in mysterious ways.... :( :(

Dave,
The Data Protection Act is a farce. I know of several organisations, (including a Local Council), who've clearly never heard of it, judging by the private info. they reveal without question.
I know why you were suspected of being on something. You're too bloody laid back. ;D ;D
-
Just caught up on this Dave.
If someone had reported you on suspicion of drink driving, there is no way you would have been initially approached by civillian PCSOs - you would have had a response car after you and get breathalised by a Police officer!
It sounds very much to me like PCSO's suspecting it *might* be the case, but because they don't have the power to breathalise you, they had to call some warranted colleagues to deal with it.
The IDEA of a PCSO role I believe is a good one, but there is a lot of skeptcism about how it actually works and quite often I think it's justified.
End of the day you know you've not had a drop, and the breath test proved it - so nothing whatsover to worry about :y
-
SO, the question is, being a Taxi Driver......did you have the meter running during all this and charge them at the end?
