most unmarked cars around here are mercs and beemers but theve bout a volvo couple of weeks ago but theres only about 5 or 6 in the area so most people notice them

yeah a will agree a used to live next to a traffic cop and he was alright but tht would be the exception to the rule here

an example would be i travel to another town to help out a youth orgnistion bout 12 miles away and a nice road they pulled me a couple of weeks ago for crossing the white line in the middle of the road as i went round a chicane i could c bout mile in front of me as the corners arent relly there
i ws also pulled for going round a roundabout too fast the roundabout in question is a weird 1 it sits off to the side of the road more like 2 give ways and mian road but without hte markings . i was coming down the road and turned left to go up the other road ( not crossing in anyones pass as my side of the road ) was stopped held for bout 10 mins while they did checks on me the car breathilised (now gets done no matter what youve been stopped for, i think this is a good idea atleast) then was told that i should be trvelling more slowly t roundbout i was only doing 20mph the boys racers round here do it more than twice that speed but the dont stop them.

ive had the finger wagged at me for passing on chevered lines i was sitting behind the police car that was doing it thou. no lights therefore no emergancy that would be them breaking the law as well

Police only stop the people they want 10 mins after they stopped me for the roundabout they stopped another car speeding the guy ( i used to work with and still drink with. he admitted to me that he was doing 45mph in a 30 ) got out of his car wearing the fire tshirts and was told to slow done in future

point is round here the police only stop who they want rather than getting people for major crimes like drink driving, There never outside the pub at closing when every body jumps in the car to head up town, theyed rather stop boy racers speeding up a piece of duel carrageway which is nearly always diserted resson being the m ways right beside it

Rant over

thank you

p.s sorry my a botton isnt working properly
