more breakfast road lols:
driver pulls up at lights near brixton academy, clearly yakking away on the phone.
GH: Can you put your phone down please (x4)
DR: ...
GH: Can you put your phone down? (x3)
DR: ...
GH: PUT. YOUR. PHONE. DOWN. NOW.
driver storms out the car and stands half a foot from my face
DR: I'M A POLICE OFFICER ON AN EMERGENCY CALL
GH: Are you now? then you probably know it's illegal to use a phone while driving a car
DR: DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? I'M A POLICE OFFICER
GH: Can i see some identification?
driver keeps banging about being a police officer and emergency calls. i keep asking for ID. She storms off back to her car and starts rummaging about in her bag... for a good 20 seconds. Lights have changed and i need to get a jog on cos i'm late. Take a pic of license plate and pootle off, she takes a screeching left.
now i'm wondering: either she IS plod and knew she was caught bang to rights with witnesses (there was a chap standing on the corner giving her gyp as well) and there was no way she was going to incriminate herself OR she was impersonating one, which i'm pretty sure is about as illegal as it gets. any roads - i'll be following up with brixton pigfarm.
