I have to disagree. The police do did a fabulous job until all the nanny state rules. Whats wrong with ginin' a kid a clip round the ear?

Mostly my dealings with the police have been fairly jovial, it's the PCSO's that p1ss me off, rather' power mad they are and no powers to match their ego's but still. I might relay the M40 tales as I call them after another beer

They the coppers probably agree, but they have to abide by the law.

James will be along soon

Coppers are like anyone else-you get good ones, bad ones and indifferent ones. Yeah, in theory they should all be "good" ones, but its never going to be like that. All I can tell you, is that Ive had dealings with quite a few officers over the years--through work, thankyou, before anyone gets in!!--and with only one exception have I ever found them as being anything but fair, understanding and helpful. You also have to bear in mind the frustations of their job too.

Did they win then??  

[amigov6]

Don't beat around the bush mate!!!! Joking aside human nature dictates there are good & bad in all walks of life including the law.
  I've met one who nicked me for a silly speeding (not reckless) offence, & another who let me off drink driving & shared his flask of coffee with me. The latter was 25 + years ago, he made me leave my car where it was & drove me home. I'd gone for a drive after a domestic, usual thing but he sympathised. I was'nt peed & only a nadge over. He was an old boy, a proper bobby but made it clear what would happen if i did it again, fair go.
   Point is i listened to him so the break he gave me was'nt wasted.

'The M40 tales'

Many moons ago, not long after passing my class 1 I was working for DFDS in Birmingham. They convinced me (somehow) to cover a contract down in Winersh (Reading for the unfamilier). Customers own wagon, 2 trips to heathrow freight per shift. Midday start so normally 2 or 3 am by the time I finished. Now being a tight poor youngster I found it easier coming back home to Solihull every night, although my transport was an ex racing ZZR1100 at the time with just a hole cut in the fairings for head and tail lights to make it road legal (otherwise unchanged from it's race days).

Got pulled clocked at 125 around Warwick services, copper was a nice enough bloke and warned me he'd book me next time but as we were the only moving vehicles for miles he'd let me off. Next night passed the same copper doing about 110 and pulled in the services for a pee. walk out same copper waiting by my bike! OH sh1t I thought. Had a laugh about not being able to catch up due to a problem with his car and was waiting for a replacement in the services.

Long and short he told me if he caught me he'd make sure the book was thrown at me so me being the sarcy get I am told him he wouldn't catch me so we struck a deal... If he caught me he'd do me, if he didn't he wouldn't bother again! Great I thought to myself, best make sure he don't then... following week doing about a ton spotted him creeping up behind me so knocked it down and went for it, chest to the tank. His headlights went very small very quickly in my mirrors  I won't say how high up the speedo I got but every time I saw him afterwards he just put his thumb up.

[Vamps]

Certainly not having a go at the Police but I nearly had to have words with one yesterday, about his driving.

Two lanes, traffic lights, turn right or straight on. Local police car in right lane indicating left, nothing on inside lane as I approach from the rear, slowed thinking he was having to change his mind as the result of a call. Flashed him to come into the inside lane, just sat there, I slowed to a crawl, again flashed him, he stayed where he was, I correctly passed him on the inside as he was stood still. Was so tempted to blow the horn and ask him what the f was he doing but chose not to, glared at him as I passed, not that he was looking.

Could see him in mirror turn right with left indicator on.  At the end of the day we are all human, we all make mistakes and he may have been having a discussion on the radio which made him uncertain, though no blue lights on.

He was a good 'un, seen him since when I went to pick up my sisters husband waste of space out when he done for DR10. He recognised me and we had a good chat while d1ckhead was left stewing in a cell

Moi?  Pourquoi?

[Lazydocker]

To be fair... My dealings with the boys in blue have been fair. I have been nicked for speeding, which was a little unfair TBH as the signs were a little obscured and it was a recent limit change but I'd gotten away with it many times before

Used to work with Hants Plod doing recovery and found most of them to be completely fair
