Nice friendly Police at it again

[centurian]

Can you name those "many countries" they don't even do that in the USA.

Judging from various episodes of Sky's Road Wars, I think you find they do...

I´ve not been in UK for a while - did this story actually go anywhere i.e. charges laid, or was it just plod picking on whitey again?

Seems a tad excessive

btw did I mention it was 31 degrees here?

[Paddy]

And what happens on daily basis, please share?

Cops kick the tulip out of people who were just minding their own business?

Cops extort money from local businesses?

Cops set innocent people up to be be wrongly convicted of crimes they did not commit?

FFS, in this country drivers don't even need to have driving license, car ownership documents with them to drive car - the law is so lenient it gives very little scope for police to feck about. In 12 years in UK I have never been stopped by police - and in Moscow I was stopped 3 times ffs.

In the past twelve months I have been stopped three times by police. "Just a routine check."

Don’t even go there about Police lying and wrongful convictions; I wasted many months of my life helping a person wrongly convicted. The Police were proved liars and compensation is being pursued.


Also last week...

The Police need a complete restructure. Any organisation that has existed for hundred of years largely unchanged had got to be an organisational and bureaucratic mess. The focus is all wrong! These days it's all bout hitting easy targets, disproportiantely hounding the motorist/hard working while protecting the thieving scum. They are largely not interested in helping the public.


Example of how messed up they have become..

"Officers recommended he be spared a custodial sentence"

Well, next time consider not wearing balaklava whilst being parked in front of a bank branch

He drove off while they were trying to give him a ticket, knocking a policeman over and then proceeded to drive on for 17 minutes with the police following him with blue lights and sirens. Never mind breaking the window, he should be banned from driving and his car impounded and crushed.

Nah, like driving too carefully in town, like indicating at road junctions when the rest of the traffic doesn’t bother. As I said in a previous thread, I was pulled up for doing 35mph in a 40 limit. Police wondered why I was doing 35. Another time why was I doing 28mph in a 30. The police was insisting that I should do 30!

I have also had:

Windscreen wiper blade partly covering tax disk.
One of two bulbs not working on number plate illuminator.
Is this YOUR car? Ans Yes. (Policeman was first keeper)
There has been a lot of terrorist incidences lately have you got any ID?

[doodab]

You are clearly on some sort of MI5 watch list.

tulip, we're probably under surveillance now just for talking to you.

You dirty criminal!

You should have turned yourself into your local friendly police station, instead of making police waste their valuable time stopping you!!!

10 years in GULAG should be appropriate for you Paddy - you'll have opportunity there to experience some of Putin's world that you like so much, if you plan to escape then I recommend to head East in winter you got some chances to cross to USA on ice, it's only a few thousands kilometers through taiga
