The old bill are pathetic.

[dangerousdave]

Ok, so it's Friday night and I am driving to pick up my son in my car. I see blue lights in the mirror so I pull over. Some fat copper gets ouut and says 'Evening Sir, follow me, we have a test to carry ot on your vehicle'.

I follow him and they test the tints on my windows at the front side and decide it's too dark. So I get a prohibition notice under section 66 of the Road Traffic Act. I had to remove the film there and then or not be allowed to drive my car. It made a right mess, thank to plod. The notice they gave me states some bull about vehicles in dangerous condition etc. Bull, absolute Bollox.

Dangerous condition is no brakes, no lights, faulty steering, bald tyres etc. My insurers know about my tints and are fine. What the hell is wrong with coppers, harassing innocent working class, law abiding motorists. Like there's no drunks fighting and glassing people on a Friday night is there, nor smack head mugging grannies for their next fix, or drunk drivers, or boy racers with stupid exhaust invalidating their insurance etc?

Then in a few weeks, police will be asking for help in this case or that case. Well they can kiss my ass if they think I will help them again. They bust 2 MILLION motorists a year for 'speeding' but allow smackhead to walk the streets, allow Muslims to preach hate openly on Finsbury park etc.

I have helped the police before to detain suspects, given evidence in court, called them out to victims of violence, people injured in ditches, women stranded alone with hyporthermia, rescued people from burning vehicles, or when being attacked, help save the life of an unconscious female who was choking to death and the best they can do it to harass me for that.

Well I telll you what plod. Next time you have your blues and two on, on your way to an incident, I will NOT be moving aside to let you past. And when I see someone unconscious or being attacked, I am gonna ignore it. It ain't my problem, right? You obviously have time to harass me and others like me with your petty, pathetic, heavy handed, OTY, bullshit policing.

Next time someone is raped or murdered, beaten half to death or dying on the street, if you have time to harrass me, you should be out there where the REAL crime is. It IS what I pay you for!

Nottingham has problems with drive by shootings, stabbings, rapes, muggings etc. It is known as assasination city for a reason. But fear not people, cause while your kid is being gunned down, or your wife is being raped, the coppers are sat in a lorry park eating McDonalds and ripping off the general public. There was a tme where I would help a copper being beaten about by a gang, but next time I would feel more inclined to join in than to stop it.

SO WELL DONE STEVE GREEN AND THE BOYS FROM NOTTS. YOU GUYS KEEP ALIENATING THE PUBLIC, MAKE YOURSELVES EVEN LESS POPULAR, DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE.......... BUT FOR F**KS SAKE GET A LIFE YOU PATHETIC WASTE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY.

Feel better now ?

 

 

 

 

Know what your sayin tho mate they sure can be very petty !

[BlueMerlin]

My insurers know about my tints and are fine.

 

So your insurers knew your tints were legaly too dark? Cool who do you insure with? I'm sure they'll be very popular.

So you don't see not being able too see correctly out of the windows as dangerous?

He was doing his job, you got caught now you're pissed.

Sit down have a drink and calm down.

[dangerousdave]

If I didn't think the windows were safe then I would remove them. I have NEVER pulled out on anyone in the dark cos I couldn't see properly. It's the heavy footed old bill with nothing better to do. The film stops the windows being smashed, it stopped people clearly seeing my face and it stops some rapist seeing when my wife is in the car on her own. Personal security s something everyone should take seriously. If I can see out fine, but no-one can see in, where is the harm in that?

The film was on my car as a security and personnel safety thing. It was for safety, not vanity. I do not wish people who have previously attempted to kill me, or others who have threatened to do, to see when I am out and about. What ever happened to a right to privacy when out in my car. If I wear a balaclava whilst driving, the old bill would harass me, but Muslim women can wear one, call it a different name and they know they will be ok cos due to the politically correct brigade, no copper would dare ask them to remove it. That's racist cos I is white, innit?

Doing his job? Don't make me puke. Catching rapists, murderers,robbers etc is a little bit more inportant than harassing me. I told them something similar in no uncertain terms. They didn't like my opinion, but I don't care really. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, it's just that mine was right!

[60ftman]

I have to say that I've never really had a problem with plod on the road (aside the odd speeding tickets from the 'cash machine' cameras) even driving the Escort with the blower hanging out of the bonnet, but I do agree with everything you said concerning where the policing really should be done, and the fact that if you're breaking the law it shouldn't matter which colour you are.

 

We have w*nkers thashing around our estate every night, all you hear is the screeching of brakes and the inevitable 'bump', but do we ever see a copper? No. We'll probably only see one when a kid gets killed, and then it will be everyone elses fault.

 

I've had my workshop broken into a few times, and my complete Snap-On toolkit removed twice. Cost me over £20k in total. Took the police three days to arrive last time, by which time it was (in their words) "....too late, They'll be miles away by now.....".

 

I sometimes wonder what I've worked all my life and paid my taxes for.

 

Don't worry Dave. You're not the only one who feels this way by far.

[Vista]

Evidently your pissed, but if he says they are illegal then they're illegal and no amount of pointing out how his time could be better spent (which incidentally I agree with) will change that fact.

 

Plus everyone who has an opinion thinks they're right or it wouldn't be an opinion in the first place would it? If I had an opinion that I secretly believed was wrong what would be the point in having that opinion in the first place?

[BIGKEV]

this bites - i would have said - Ok guv you got me......

 

i will not remove the film from the windows but will arrange for a trailer to come and pickme and the car up so I can take the car home and do the job properly - now if you would like to wait with me for my "lift" then so be it " you could also add "clunt " if you so wish

 

Then we will see who waits the longest

 

 

Its either that or a high speed pursuit - I know which I'd rather

[Tom]

mate, it was a fair cop. you were breaking the law and you got caught - fair enough it was only a minor infringement but illegal none the less.

 

it really pisses me off when people slate the old bill. they do a brilliant (and difficult) job enforcing a law which was not made by them.

 

sit back and take a chill

[dangerousdave]

Tell you what Tim, they may do a difficult job, but they know what they are letting themselves in for.I's not like you go to the job centre, agree to the job and start the next day is it? You have to go to training college, sit exams etc. If you are going to do all that, you need to know what you are letting yourself in for.

If I was a 17 year old boy racer with huge alloys, deafening stereo, black windows etc fair enough. The police in my town are worse than useless. They have previously arrested me for trying to protect my 4 year old son. I don't think they like it when they throw you in the cells to stew (it didn't work), expect you to be terrified of them and then really do use the good cop/bad cop routine.Honestly, they STILL use that old chestnut!

Especially when you get a 10 year old copper who ain't old enough to shave, that has probably not lost his virginity, telling me what I should or shouldn't do to protect my child. Patronising tinker lol.

In my job I see hundreds (literally hundreds) of careless and dangerous incidents every week. There is too much reliance on speed, ooppss, I mean 'safety' cameras and less police on the roads dealing with dangerous, careless, or drink drivers. People assume cos they wear a uniform, the police are squeeky clean, but I can give you loads of incidents to prove that is not the case at all.

Some are obviously doing a good job (apparently), but some I have met have a serious superiority complex. Just cos you have a blue light on your car it does not mean you are always right, never break the law and are above reproach in your manner, not by any means.

I would not trust most coppers to direct traffic on a one way street, let alone deal with a criminal. By having speed, I mean safety' cameras on every street all they are doing is alienating the 35 Million law abiding motorists who may for a split second, exceed the speed limit by a couple of miles per hour. Well when they appeal for witnesses to anything I saw nothing, I heard nothing, I know nothing. They think they are so damn good, let them prove it!

[john_3.0s]

if u believe that your tints were legal and insured then make a formal complaint. I have been pulled a number of times on two and four wheels by coppers who have not got a clue about the "safety" of a vehicle.

 

The most amusing was in my mk1 mondeo TD bog standard and completly legal motor, I was told that the air filter had been removed thus invaldating my insurance, i kindly pointed out that he was looking at the intercooler but he wasnt having any of it, after a brief tutorial in turbocharging and showing him the real air filter he reluctantly let me go - what a complete t0$$er, total and wicked waste of tax payers money.

[Gibson]

i have been pulled five times in my car jsut because they have fook all else thats actually worth them doing

 

"we pulled you over because you were weaving"

 

 

was i fook. they pulled me over because they wanna find something on my car they can give me a ticket for....

 

my sierra and my capri have been broken into and attempted too be stolen i was extremely lucky they both had flat batteries at the time. and the police did nothing. absolutely nothing... i dont hol it against the individual officers tho i believe it is a problem with the way it is run and the policies they are forced too adopt

[jayson2.3pinto]

[Hilux]

sadly i have to agree that the police just take the easy option and punish the motorist time and time again, the majority of the time they have absolutely no idea what the hell they re on about. take the last two years round here, a known criminal who has no driving license has owned and driven about 15 cars and several motorbikes, the large majority of which have no tax and i'm sure no MOT either, wont be insured coz he aint got a license and the feds have been give the reg numbers of most of them and told that he is still driving illegally and they know his address, you would think he has been caught and banged up by now wouldn't you?

 

NO, he still drives everyday, if it was me they'd have a car waiting at the end of my drive with a ruler to measure the exact millimeter i cross the line onto a public road then have me pants down with unlimited fines and a prison sentence, crush the car then send me off for execution!

their priorities are all wrong, lets pick on the motorist coz we dont have to do much except fill out a stops form, they even come to us! if we hide our high viz car in the bushes we can just step off the kerb and 'ave em! BINGO!!!! a new set of tyres for the traffic car, just like that. yet when you require the services of the police, comments like "they'll be long gone by now" give the impression of oh well its gone now just make a claim on yer insurance and you dont really need us for that so we'll be on our way as we've heard theres a car on the motorway with it's fog lights on, and its not foggy

i do accept that police officers are enforcing a law that they didnt make, but they are the front line that the public see and meet, so they have to accept that the abuse and complaints about everything are initally going to be directed at them.

[dangerousdave]

EXACTLY! You know what? Notts police are in the bottom 5 for performance yet again. Not suprised when all the smack heads robbing pensioners are left alone whilst motorists are pursude relentlessly.
