Motorway cops
« on: 05 May 2010, 22:04:36 »

Just finished on BBC 1
One part did make me laugh;
A guy was pulled over for using his hand held mobile phone whilst driving, and it then transpired he had no insurance.
But the bit that made me laugh, was him saying he was from London...and wasn't one 'of the weak minded people from Birmingham with those brummie accents' - I'm pretty sure those were his words.
What an idiot!
Neither of the police officers had a Birmingham accent, but to say that to a) police officers dealing with you and b) officers from that general area, just seems crazy.
It never ceases to amaze me at some people's stupidity  :D

saw it myself, he did dig himself a hole. Women in the Audi as well, what rubbish lies! Going around in circles, annoying they get a pathetic fine and a few points.

Noticed they favored Volvo S60's

Yes, if it was down to me they would be banned from the roads for life, and there vehicles automatically crushed with no opportunity to rescue them! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

These people are a daily menace to us all! >:( >:( >:( >:(


 The police officers hands are tied, and at the mercy of the CPS and very leniant courts, which is very annoying to the officers who spend so much time completing the paperwork and accumulating the evidence >:( >:( >:( >:(

It surprised me that PC Angus thingy bought an arrested person into custody, in the back of his Police car, while single crewed...

It is annoying how they don't seem to get much other than a small fine and some points.

Volvo S60 T5's are lovely cars, the later models '54' and later had 260 bhp.
Did you notice how they also favour the 3 series and 5 series. Dyfed-Heddlu have an almost all BMW fleet.

I always enjoy watching these kind of programmes, for the general insight...but to also see what vehicles they use...as I'll be buying them 3 years later or so when they're disposed of  :D

Loved the reply from the copper when he said you should be out catching more serious criminals, the policemans retort was if you hadn't been on your mobile we would not have had to have stopped you and we would be able to do what you suggested :y
