We had been to Tesco with our 8 yr old daughter, headed home, just going down our road, police car past us going the opposite way, we carried on, next thing we know its up our backside, we pull up outside our house and they flash the 'blues' at us, so obviously had followed us. To catch up with us they must have floored it as its a country road, with nowhere to turn easily !!! So they had to do that to then catch up with us.
Copper got out, smug expression, hubby asked what the problem was, he just said "oh you know fella, just a routine stop check". My daughter was actually quite frightened, although i am not sure why, probably the 'unknown' as we arent in the habit of associating with police, good or bad!
Anyway, they basically had this 'air' of 'ha ! we are the law, can do what we like, when we like and stuff you'. They got my back up with the way they spoke/looked and the way they made a very obvious / un-nesessary / determined decision to make a u-turn on a country road (they did more wrong than US !!!!!) and follow us, then hassle us basically.
As we were home, we WERE able to show my husbands (clean! :-) ) driving license, they called in and checked and WOW - the car IS insured IS taxed IS MOT'ed and bless them, even checked the tyres for us, how kind, they were FINE !!!!
How about they go and find people who are ACTUALLY breaking the **** law !!! Not someone who doesnt even LOOK like they are breaking it !!! Both of us are hard working parents of 3, who pay everything required and drive legally !! No criminal convictions EVER !!
Took the next 2 hours to try to explain, over & over & over & over to our daughter WHY we had been stopped. The lights were also NOT needed, we had pulled into a parking space !!! Idiots. Lets hope they never need my help. Yes i am annoyed, i am sure i will get 'oh they are only doingtheir jobs' etc etc. i KNOW that, but i dont care, its called 'random rants' and thats what i feel like doing after they WASTED most of my evening by the time i settled my daughter !!!!!!!!!!!!!
