What the hell is wrong with todays traffic cops driving home like normall when out of no where i got a skoda octavia up my ass blue lights flashing and some power tripping hitler slaming his finger at me telling me to pull over so i kindly oblige no problem here as i was well under the speed limit ( First time for everything ) my seatbelt was on so wound down the window turned the car off But this copper was out of his car as if he was doing the 100m sprint for team GB at the olympics with that hes not asking poiltely hes full on shouting at me as if hes some sgt in the Army and i would know as ive done my service " GOT YOUR LICENCE INSURANCE & MOT as hes insspecting my car as if its been involved in some murrder some where so i kindly get out of my car doccuments in hand to which hes on the radio checking my details so i had over the doccuments to which he snatches them out of my hand and reads through them to the reply of oh you had an MOT 2Days ago to which i replyed why yes at that point he sheepishly hands me back the documents amd says "oh our system showed that your MOT was expired that will be all " and got back in his car, Now god only knows how im not in the nick at the moment for assulting a police officer but i bit my lip and kept cool but was there really any need for his attitude so really what is going on with 2days traffic cops the only thing i can say is sort your fisherprice computer system out and do some real work

musta be short on his quota!

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty!

My point

[Danny]

you handled it perfectly though

good cop or bad cop, the best possibly way to behave is politely if there's nothing at all illegal about your use of the road, you'll never have a problem

[topdogkelv]

But still is there any reason to be that aggresive the only highlight out of it is the fact i snubbed him back coz i had all my doccuments on me and the car was clean as a whistle as its lit just gone through the mot

Technology at it's best eh!.

An ATM can show a cash withdrawel on your online banking instantly, and there are millions of transactions done daily if not hourly.

But yet the DOT cant update thier records in less than 3 weeks.

That leads me to think of how much money may be getting wasted via ANPR and other devices sending out officers or paperwork to motorists that are 100% legal.

If you were unimpressed with his manner or behaviour, complain to the Ch Const of the relevant force area quoting shoulder number if possible, or time, date and location of stop alongwith whatever other details of the vehicle (his) you can remember.

As others have said, you spoke to ONE out of an ever decreasing number of TrafPol UK wide and, truth be told, is not representative of ALL Traffic Cops....

technology is to blame, and the cop is going purely off the information he's given. think about it, how many people must they come across who dont have all their documentation in order? it wouldnt surprise me if a cop pulled me and was slightly over-enthusiastic about getting what he thinks is a dodgy driver

Partly, though the main problem is how the information held there is interpreted by Cops at the sharp end.  You quickly learn that the database is falible and so you should temper your use of the information accordingly until you get other info to substantiate the 'starter for 10....'
