Been stopped several times. One of which leaves me feeling a little smug every time i recall it.
I was on the way to work for night shift ( dark nights ) my car at the time was a BMW E30 325i with a few subtle mods.
Anyway, i was a little late so was making progress lets say, When i was slowing to the 30 limit coming from open roads with national limit i noticed a car flying up behind me, when close enough i saw it was a local plod car. He flashed his blues and i pulled over and as i always do i got out of the car which i left running with lights on and walked towards the police car.
Officer gets out of the and draws his baton/night stick telescopic thingy, " stop" shouts the voice "stop and kneel on the floor"?? "dont be daft" i say in return. "Kneel on the floor NOW!" he shouts.
Getting a little peed off now i look around for and passers by or jeremy beadle! The cop hasnt got a stupid beard on so it cant be him!?
"Mate" i said " im driving to work, not robbing a bank for gods sake" With this he reaches into his jacket of many pockets and pulls out a can of pepper spray or what ever it is they used then and shouts " on your knees driver or i will spray you!" Now having been sprayed with that stuff before by choice on a working visit to a police training centre i know this stuff isnt the most comfortable thing to have in your face, So reluctantly i kneel on the ground beside my car.
He walks over to me with baton still out but spray back in its pouch and says " ok now you can stand" so i get up and ask him " what was the point of that" reply was " you cant be too careful these days"??
"So know can we get on to why you have pulled me over" i ask?
" Yes we can, Is this your car sir?
"yes it is officer"
"ok sir what is the full reg of the car"?
I tell him the reg
"To what address is the car registered"
I tell him.
"You are aware that you as the driver of this car are solely responsible for the condition of the car"?
"yes i am"
"The reason i asked you the reg of your car is because you have a number plate light not working and i couldnt read your full reg number"
"Ah ok sorry about that, i didnt realise or i would have changed it before i left for work"
"When i stopped you i noticed your brake light on the offside isnt working either" he says
"cant be i say" as i know that ive only just put 2 new lamps in them less than a week ago??
Sure enough the brake light is out when we check it, Sods law i guess but no biggy as when walking to the back of the car to check as the plod presses the brake pedal for me to check i notice something which from my point of view with what is happening is far more important.
"I need to right you out a defect rectification notice for the faults on your car which you need to repair and get checked within 14 days from today"
"Oh ok"
"Give me a second and i will just get the notice form from my car"
"While your on the way to your car you might want to check the offside headlight that doesnt seem to work on your car and the nearside side light as well" i say.
Cop turns to look at the car thinking im joking and low and be hold he has no head light or side light.
"You do realise your responsible for the condition of your car dont you" i say
He looks very blankly at me and starts to purple!
He walks to his car, gets in and drives off leaving me standing.
Dont think he was too pleased
Next day i reported him for the way he conducted the stop but surprise surprise it was my word against theirs and there was no record of a stop being made on my car that night.
Wish there had been witnesses at the time
He had a smile on his face and then tells me that he can see I just bought the car and clearly power had gone to my head
