Can the Police stop you for no reason?

This is a difficult question to answer... I would imagine that the police would have to stop you first before they could tell you that they stopped you for no reason...

I'd love to see a member of the public try to give me an £80 PND for being disorderly.Last edited by Moscow Mule; 24 June 2009, 15:34."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I've been stopped for:
"looking too young to drive that kind of car"
Allowing the car to slow down up hill because I knew there was a zebra crossing over the crest that I'd probably have to stop for as it was school out time.
Slowing down to let a police motorcyclist past because he had his lights flashing (and he didn't know it).Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Well I never...Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Somewhat uncalled for Mr T.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Not technically correct. The Road Traffic Act 1988 s163 gives any officer the power to stop you. This is the section relied upon for random vehicle checks. Consequently from that check they can ask you for a breath test under section 6 if they have reasonable grounds to suspect you've been drinking. What is reasonable is up to their interpretation."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith
