I was pulled over by traffic cops 6 months ago. Sitting in the back of their car i was informed that the PNC showed that i wasnt insured for my car. Im fully comp,always have been but they insisted i wasnt. The driver was being reasonable but the cop in passenger seat started getting really shirty with me. >:(saying things like " We get guys like you all the time saying honestly officer i am insured,then after 20 mins of checking they never are." and" Stop mucking us about mate,we know your not insured so just tell us the truth and it saves everyone time" and the best one yet " The PNC is 99.9% accurate,and it tells us you havnt got any insurance!" :-?

Obviously by this time i was getting a bit peed off and offered them to follow me or drive me to my house where i would show them the documents. The passenger cop says no,and told me to produce them at the station within 7 days. I told him i would be there within half an hour with them. ( obviously he didnt believe me)
Anyway,upon going to the station and waiting for half an hour whilst my documents were checked,the female officer came out and said...."Thankyou very much Mr xxxxx.....We are satisfied that you are fully insured!! Now,how the hell could she tell i was and the tossers in the car,especially the passenger said i wasnt? Surely they use the same computer for this information!? I was bloody raging!

What a waste of everyones time and with the attitude from the cops in the car its no wonder the police are held in such low regard by joe public.
My mate,who was in the car with me when i was pulled said i should make a complaint. My answer was if i did that i would probably be "marked" and stopped all the time.
