Police Story?

[Cymru1]

Going on from the thread "Police pulls a young lad in an RS4 and gets caught out!"

Any more stories out there, good or bad?

Here's mine....

Going back a 20yrs for these!

a) Just finished work and went to give a lift to my brother from the pub, Got pulled over at about 11:45 after leaving and thought "here we go..."
Once he knew I was "ok" he started talking about old car's and how mine looked a clean example, etc (TA22 Celica) just took 5-10n min had a good look and was a nice guy. wow! (Gutted about that car 100% mint and sold it for peanuts, now £££!)

b) Got stopped in a 72' Clubman and got the "7 day - fix it notice" drove 2 miles and stopped for some smokes in a shop. Walked out and a pr**k of a spotty young plod walking the beat tried to get me for the same tire. Showed him the ticket but was not having it. 3 points!

c) your stereo is too good for the car (must be nicked then?) take it out!! Had to take it out there and then on the side of the road, took almost two weeks to get it back after they had finished checking the serial numbers. All ok, but bas***ds.

d) best till last, got pulled for a "routine" / WEEKLY stop, "can you produce your documents within 7 days?" no you already have them at DVLA *see b*
"if you cant produce documents its 3 point + fine" - cant do that you already have them! outcome 3 points!!!!!!! Wtf......................:corey:

Also in the 80's seen my mate get done for not wearing a seatbelt. The three point harness he had at the time didn't seem to matter!

Yeah know about the harnesses, my mates had to have his checked once before.

I got chased thru my home town by the police, came down to the roundabout and turned to go up the long straight to mine and saw a police car come the other way, I knew what was going to happen as I was young and had the fogs on in my coupe quattro and saw the indicator come on so I went for it, got up the top of the road (massive long straight leaving the town) and turned down towards mine, at the bottom of the hill I slowed down and thats when I saw the blue's n two's coming down the hill so turned up my road, shot up it and into the garages where I park the car, switched the lights off and saw the cop car fly past with the lights on.

I put the car away and went inside and mentioned what had happened to my mum about it, about 5 mins afterwards I had a undercover cop car sitting at the end of my road. So what does my mum go and do, go out and offer them a cup of tea whilst they wait for this mystery car, they soon left.


I also left the local services and whilst exiting the car park (quite a big one) noticed a police car following me and get pulled over, they said I was doing 30mph in a 10mph zone, I ask where the signs was as there are none, they said there does not need to be and they didn't like me replying so how am I supposed to know the speed limit then?

They do the usual of asking me a few questions including where I got the car from (3 weeks previous it had been abandoned in the car park due to vandalism, the owner didn't want it so gave it to me and I took it home, fixed it up and started using it)

They then let me go and follow me the 5-10 miles home to my ex girlfriends and pull up behind me up outside hers, this time they start by asking is it mot'd to which I reply it was done the week previous and its also got a brand new (1 day old) tax disc in the window before they ask, then the attention turns to the exhaust and the noise and if its legal (1 box rally system) to which I say it went thru the mot with that exhaust on (it didn't) and they give the car a major going over all the time being watched by the ex's family who hated me anyways.

I've been pulled over/fined/etc more times than i've had hot dinners.

Perhaps I shouldnt say it but..

There was one of em, who used too get totally drunk in the local pub many years ago and drove home every night no problem. 1 rule for one im guessing.....

Dont want to knock the law here 99.9% are im guessing excellent and do a hard job. Its a shame that a few bad apples and the recent backlash over speed camera's / van's tarnish the profession.

Guess im getting pulled tommorow then!

i'd say more like 50/50 ****ers / decent people these days - so many jobsworths about that can;t be arsed to catch real criminals (of which there are many )

Best episode I've had was when i had my Z32, my housemate was taken into hospital after being assaulted, i was proper ragging it through birmingham to get to city hospital, got there was walking across the carpark to then entrance and a white Octavia VRS stopped in front of me and copper got out and asked me to get in for a "chat".
The traffic cop did the usual licence and reg checks, turned out to be a pretty sound guy, had a chat about the car etc. Said he'd seen me going at a fair rate of knots and followed thinking it was nicked - said if he'd been able to keep up he'd have pulled me over , also commented that I had excellent lane discipline
