This sounds familier......
About 5 years ago me and my gf and a friend of ours pulled up to a set of traffic lights.Opposite there was a police car parked in a pub carpark.It was about midnight on a weekend,me and my mate were doing some sort of stupid dance and generally larking about in the car,we were drunk and merry.Girlfriend was driving and she was sober, as soon as we pulled away the copper was onto us and pulled us over.Girlfriend got 20 questions outside the car ,me and my mate stayed in the car.At one point a wpc stuck her head inside the car and shone a torch about when i talked to her she just ignored me. It was obvious to us then that it was just sour grapes because we dared to have a good time in front of them.
The police don't exactly operate a "hearts and minds" policy do they  ____________________ sup up your beer and collect your fags |

How do you know what it looked like from outside the car? You were inside the car and you were dancing-drunk. Seems a reasonable leap of logic for the plod to consider that there was a possibility that your missus may've been involved in the festivities - I'd wager that they've seen stuff like that before.
Whinge about the police by all means, but feel free to let a bit of objectivity creep in every now and then.

How so?

As for being confused and boorish,no chance! All i said was a polite hello, it wouldn't have hurt for her to say hello back.

I'll repeat my previous comments - most of us have been drunk at one time or another, and thought that we were the most witty, polite and engaging person in the world. Video/anecdotal evidence the next day usually proves us dead wrong.

The police seem to have developed their own arrogance. |
Well at least they aren't pinching someone else's.
It's their job to stop potentially dangerous drivers, I personally don't mind too much if they don't meet the high standards of politeness seemingly set by merry-drunken-stupid-dancing people. ____________________ >Soultrader Mister James, I bet you are a copper

'Facts' are very fluid things indeed - especially when the people involved are drunk, outraged or both.
As for flouncing off and not replying - what did you expect when you posted, sycophantic applause and "me-too" comments? Posts on BCF are open to criticism as much as they are to agreement - it's the t'internet for Jeebus' sake!

FACT - They don't know she's sober until they speak to her. Your opinion of her driving is subjective, and in any case we've all heard tales of people driving extra-carefully (or what they believe to be) while pissed.

Do you know that to be true, or are you just assuming they could?

Thats all good and well Mr Jimbo but to be honest I have got to the point where I have lost the attitude I had of most coppers are okay.
I think they are ALL a waste of space, they are very quick too "act" in circumstances like this all over the country. Yet at work a couple of weeks back I had two car loads of lads on the industrial estate at night looking round a couple of business', I follwed as is my job when they went further into the estate, I was blocked off at one point and given threats.... "you're gonna get f*cking battered tonight".... and loads of crap gobbed off.
One of the business owners was there and asked me to call the police as he was quite rightly worried about his premises, so I did, I gave descriptions and part reg's of the cars, I told them what they were upto including the threats of me supposedly going to get a battering.
They gave me an incident number, told me it was down as a "grade 2" and there would be a unit sent out within 10-60 minutes.
I didn't see the filth for a week, thats not me exagerating, a whole week! And even then they just drove round the estate in record time ignoring the 15-20 nob heads gathered outside a business late at night and just nodding at me and getting the hell out of there.
POLICE?
Rubbish, nothing but filthy revenue collecting scum. |

Ah well, better stop every man under 50, because he's a man, and he might be a bit handy, and he might be carrying a knife. Better to stop him before he stabs somebody, rather than after.
Might might might, the world is full of fucking mights. Ban-culture, health & safety, preventionism bullshit. It won't be long before you're stopped at the checkout with your beer because the card-scanner detects you've already bought your permitted units for the week and you might damage your liver and you might get drunk and cause a scene.
Some of you fuckwits just don't have a clue, do you. No concept of rights or liberties or freedom or self-respect or individualism. Mindless cogs in the machine, happy to be pushed from pillar to post all day long so long as nobody goes "boo!" too loudly.
You craven fucking curs. You'd find an excuse for your mother/sister/wife/GF being raped if it was the state doing it. Well hey, you already found one for having your arses fucked by it.
You really are the most spineless and nauseating apologists for this kind of shit, aincha. Always got a defense for it, always got an excuse or a justification...anything, so long as you don't have to draw a line in the sand and stand resolutely behind it. Wankers. English. And stereo-typically so. Scared small grey little tossers, scurrying before the small grey vermin in power. Unquestioning...nay, defending the filth.
You're why this species deserves to be extinguished. You're a fucking shameful disgrace. Stand up for nothing, unless it's safe and easy. State botty-boys. Bitches. Fuck-pieces. Slaves and drones. WANKERS.
Go on, run along now and suck some more state cock. Mm MMM! Tastes goood!  ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

Saw on the news today that a lone individual going by the name of Hetzer, had stood up for himself and proclaimed mankind was dead, just that it didn't know it yet. He was the enlightened one, he had found the answers and would be the sole surviver come the revolution. He was the Messiah. the Profit, the Chosen One. All Hail Hetzer the Magnificent.  ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

Funny story. Being very happy does impair judgment though. If I could wipe the off my face wile riding I’d be safer. I’m sure the novelty will where of a bit soon.
Ps. And thanks Hetzer. Had a laugh reading that.
To be honest though I’d have just said ok I’ll chill out.
A problem with an overly militant attitude is we don’t improve relations between us and the police. They are just people after all. If we always kick in there face it encourages a less respectful attitude.
But treating them with respect (even if you feel hard done by) puts the focus back on them. They are less likely to think, `Rebel`…..In fact they are likely to think `he/she showed respect` and that feeling is far more likely to make them think about the people they serve as deserving it also. ____________________ RXS100 On the Road. |
