agree with everything in this thread.
some police are a pain in the backside, other are fine.
As a son of a Traffic Copper (yes...) "oh your ***** son ! you alright" is normally the outcome.
And the only reason they pull me over is for late night / early morning driving, I go to alot of clubs with mates etc , when i drive and never drink, literally anything, my license isnt worth it.
They know who i am but still do the normal checks on the car, tyres, insurance, tax yada yada yada, and send me on my way.
I once argued with a copper for 15 mins before him backing down and saying sorry as he accused me of speeding over a 20 mile period down the dual carriageway and they'd been struggling to keep up with me. When I had been 5 mins up the road at my friends and was on my way home.
So yeh. not really a problem !
