The police are not above the law
If there's one thing that really irritates me, it's the policemen and women in area patrol cars that think they are above the law. This seems to be the case all too frequently these days. Practically every week without fail, I see them pulling out of side roads into the path of some unfortunate and occasionally even in front of my car. No blue flashing lights and no apology!
I watched this happen to a middle aged man who proceeded wave his displeasure at the offending police car. Subsequently, the police car allowed him in front and flashed him to pull over. He was given a producer, despite having his license and insurance documentation in hand. They vigorously checked every detail of his car for faults and when his nearside fog light (in the bumper) didnt work (on a bright sunny day!), they informed him that he was in a dangerous car was required to have it fixed immediately. He complained at the station, but was given a lot of useless drivel - I know this, because it was my father! As it happens Im a mechanic so informed the police officers that the defective light wasnt a major problem and it would be fixed, at which point I was told to mind my own business and get back into the car before I was arrested for some law that Id never heard of before!
Recently I was driving along a winding road and met a police area car traveling on my side of the road at speed. It was on blind corner of a right-hand bend and he forced me to take evasive action by swerving into a lane. This resulted in me hitting the curb and the impact caused the wishbone on my car to snap rendering it unmovable. The police had slowed to crawl and after being told that I was in the wrong, they cautioned me for dangerous driving. My passenger who was witness to the whole thing agreed with me completely and yet her evidence to the case was discredited because she was wearing sunglasses!
One or two of my friends have had accidents with police cars and been blamed for them too despite being innocent. My point is that I cant stand being penalized by people with a god like attitude, causing accidents and getting away with it because of the uniform. It's just not on!

IPCC ANOTHER BUNCH OF TWATS , they only rule in your favour if there is media backup !
Get rid & get members of the public involved & watch the p45s get handed out LOL .
It's about time body cameras became a must & an officers past is also mentioned in court .
A lot of police officers have a grey past & just like the accused it should be a must in court .
the police force is a very corrupt place.

look at the news recently cash for stories ?
Mrs May monitor them -body cameras on all officers dealing with the public & the public should be able to decide if an officer has stepped out of line ,not the IPCC!
And get rid of the IPCC and form a new body made up of public members .

This will just be a slap happy procedure to rake in more cash.
Just another scaremongering tactic, just like use of mobile phones and baby car seats. I can drive 500 miles with no sign of the police.
As if families haven't got enough to contend with with the current economic situation. Whatever next, perhaps the will propose the insertion of cameras up backsides to find out if you shop at Aldi or Tesco? Enough to make one weep.

With the advances in technology they are getting more & more caught out .
The boys at number 10 have got tough on them & the public are more aware now about their malicious behaviour . That's why I say body cameras a must for all police officers that deal with the public .let's see if they beat people upto a pulp when a camera is at hand .fools on steroids !
Anyway most of them will be out of a job soon .

Question:
We all know its an offence to dress like a Police Officer, but is it an offence to copy Police Cars - You cannot tell the difference, the drivers have dark blue uniforms and blue shirts with black ties. Yet no one complains. If it was a private security firm there would be howls of rage from the boys in blue.

A friend of mine, Mike, driving along in that dreamy fashion he has and he runs right into the back of a car, Mike gets out in an temper, storms up to the car he's ran into, opens the drivers door and tells the driver: " You pulled up a bit quick didn't yer". The other driver replies "I've been PARKED here for nearly half an hour" , Mike says, "O' thats okay -then - I'll let you off" , and he drives off telling himself he'd done the right thing.
