See thread labeled: 'Got done today' for history:

Well lads, im a copper and I respect motorists and love fast cars (got a WRX myself). The Police always get criticised for persecuting motorists.

I know all to well that this is unfair, the scum who dont register their car, go thru gatso's drive off at petrol stations without paying, no insurance etc etc the list goes on, they get away with it all. When they are caught the courts do nothing!!!! Scum go and burglar ur house, smash ur car windscreen, what happens conditional discharge, courts basically say dont do it again!!!!

But motorists!!!!! Heres £60 and points on your licence (u have a licence, scum do not) and ur insurance will go sky high, (u have insurance, scum do not). Its unfair, i agreee.

Glad to see some people on here have respect for the Police and can see the implications of not wearing a seat belt, i have seen them too many times to recall and not a pretty sight, so of course if we see someone not wearing a seat belt we are going to deal with it. Granted not all the times we deal with it in terms of fines but its the descretion of the officer.

And the line, 'I always drive with my seatbelt on, I had only just pulled off' isn't good enough.

My advice to stand u in good stead is to agree, apologise, no attitude and show some interest in road safety. Cant guarentee this will stop a FPN coming ur way but to be honest mmost Police (except traffic cops) will probably only give u verbal advice.

Saying that, take the **** and not put ur seat belt on when seeing a cop car and its game on!

Just remember lads, Impreza's are stolen all the time by the scum usual ways:

1 - Break down your door at tea time, 4 lads with claw hammers making a nice work of art on ur face and taking ur motor (happens too mush!)

2 - Traffic lights/junctions, u get dragged out of ur seat or window smashed, dragged out and beaten up, see the back of ur lovely car go wheel spinning off.

3 - Nicked straight from were u parked it, no excuses enough ways of protecting ur car these days

4 - Using a fishing rod hook ur keys thru the letter box whilst ur asleep upstairs ....... another one far to common!!!

5 - Autotrader, ur selling it, some lads come to meet u to have a look, get beaten and there gone

The list goes on!!!!!

Most of the stolen Imprezas are used in serious crime, armed robberies/ram raids etc, so their stolen by professional serious violent criminals.

One more point: Criminals use cars, so cars is a good way to catch them

Enjoy no doubt will start something here with this one!!

I'm surprised that the Police don't have a minimum standard of spelling and literacy as one of their entrance criteria

Next time a coppa stops me for a friendly chat I will ask him to do a spelling test and take the pi55 out of him when he fails miserably With the words, "You don't like how I drive, I don't like the fact that you are illiterate - so, get off my case!" that should sort him out!!

Why become a copper hmmmmm, I get to drive about 100 miles a shift, speed, go through red lights, wrong side of road, pursuits, fights, foot pursuits and a cracking laugh. Hmmmmmmm or I could have stayed with electronics and let the IEEE sort me out, think not. Much more fun as a copper! Cheers speaking of which on at 9pm tonight so ........

Jonty

Coppa..? What's one of those then..? Are you referring to a Policeman or the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act..?

Sorry Pete, couldn't resist.

Jonts.

pslewis

Well give the scum a good kicking on your next shift...just make sure noone is looking

Unfortunately, the bad policemen already put a mark on your reputation regardless of how good you are.

It's the case with me. I know not every officer is like it, but I can't help thinking if being overzelous, rude, disrespectful, arsey, ignorant, narrow minded, and pedantic is in the training programme these days.

pslewis

Well, you started it!!

trackman, actually people take the michael but hes one of the more respected ones, imho! thanks for posting hostagewrx nice to know theres some decent ones out there as I only seem to bump into the negative tit heads out there

trackman

Sorry, it's not easy to respect him when he makes the comments he does. Yeah he seems pretty intelligent but ultimately, he's very insulting, and most of the time for no apparent reason.

Regards.

scooby-si

pslewis childish hes about 90yrs old lol

bigknd

"I had only just pulled off"


Good enough reason for not wearing a seatbelt imho

pslewis

PLEEEEEEESE its 76!!

Pete

pslewis

I tell it as it is ..... I am too old to abide by the PC rules - a spades a spade in my book!!

Don't get confused that my opinion (as it differs from yours) makes me a pest, troll or whatever is the current term for someone who doesn't 'quite' conform to the mob view.

Pete

trackman

Hurray! The first non-insulting reply. About time!

pslewis

You weren't around for the other 8790 were you??

Pete

trackman

Guess I was lucky.............

pslewis

Nah, you missed some REAL classics in the 'old' days

So what does "I would eat you alive" mean?

I saw some guy on Roadwars tonight "eat the coopers alive", it was the king of Jamaica. Anyone else see that?

I considered joining the force a few years ago, but could not get my head around the large amount of abuse and grief they get simply for going to work....... Even though we know theres bad apples in every cart

mmmm like the police car that went through a red light with no blues and twos on hit a ford focus killing a mother of two

They're not all there enforcing petty pointless rules.
Last night for example, about 10:50 I'm parked on a double yellow outside a kebab shop and a copper pulls up behind me. During the day parking there seriously slows down that road, but at night it's that empty that it doesn't cause a problem, plenty of room for people to go around. B*llocks thinks I, but they just get out and order their own kebabs. Presumably getting some food in before the drunken chavs ooze out of the pubs.
OTOH, the one a few year back that tailgated me in an unmarked car when I had no opportunity to pull over and let them pass, then waited till i sped up before giving me a fixed penalty is the one I'll always remember when it comes to the police. Oh well.

buzzuk

lets face it coppers will always be dickless *****, "hello i've been burgled?" "sorry no one can come at present they are all on roads we recently cut down to 30 sat in the back of a van catching innocent people"

I note you started by complaining about spelling - but whats a "techique"?
