Got pulled over by the sweeny last night for an 'ilegal overtaking manoeuvre', red squadcar, full sirens, swerved infront of me blocking my escape.
I had thought our most expensive and highly trainned officers would have better things to do with their time and i could basicly break any road traffic law i wanted.
I was wrong - so I pointed out its actually called 'flitering and quiet legal'
I was then accused of 'speeding' as filtering according to the highway code can only be done at a maximum of 12kph.
I pointed out that is bollocks and anyway the highway code is guess what a 'code' and not the law.
then he started reaching for his tazer and demanded some ID, I compiled and was allowed to go on myway after my record check was clean.
Just who was wrong - apart from obviously me in everyway
