Undertaking / filtering on left?

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

Can't tell you about the law on filtering but I can tell you that the guidance issued to police drivers is that they are not to perform manoevres like swerving in front of cyclists to block them. Which is why the scrotes who steal bikes are pretty much free and clear once they are on the stolen bike. Mind you, that guidance might have changed, so I don't guarantee it is still officially so.

However, threatening someone with a tazer for suggesting that the police were incorrect is also not what those things were issued for. That is arguably threatening behaviour.

If they were so sure about their facts, how come they fucked off without doing a thing after checking your ID.

I'm not sure about any of the up-to-date law changes, but when was it law that you are required to produce ID at gunpoint?

Did you get the reg of the police car, or the officer's numbers? This deserves a complaint...
