I don't blame the police if they're a little over zealous in their initial approach. Who knows what they are going to face. Some crooks have no intention of being apprehended. If they are out and about pulling suspect vehicles that's just great.

 

I got stopped, with someone else's chipper on hire, because the officer realised that my vehicle wasn't the one he was used to seeing. Good policing and I (and the chippers owner) would be happy to be stopped everyday for that. Rescuing cats in the dark, I bet they've never that one before:001_tt2:

Excellent policing and the sort of initiative that should be encouraged. :thumbup1:

I had to produce my doc's, so whilst at the desk I asked to speak to a senior officer about the conduct of the officer that stopped me.

 

The atmosphere suddenly got decidedly cooler, until I explained I wanted to applaud his initiative. IMO, too many want just want to moan about them. I've met many over the years, as in all sections of society there are some idiots, but most are just trying to make the best of a bad situation. I met probably hundreds whilst in Mountain Rescue, some of our team were in the force, and most aren't happy with the constraints imposed on them that prevent them doing a better job.
