Getting really annoyed lately, i never ever have been pulled, the moment i add a set of smoked rear lights, a smoothed tailgate and bumper that is sprayed a different colour to my car the filth are all over me like a rash,

 

First time was because of my numberplates, ive got a different style font, but its not italic, its not too fat or thin, its just a little different from standard, when the bloke the first time realised he had wasted mine and my time, he quickly wrote me out a producer and a defects form for a split wiper blade, no word of a lie,

 

Then about 2 days after that, they were out in force catching tax dodgers, i drove past a marked jag and that was it, vroom, blue on, and i pulled over, started bitching about the tailgate and bumper being black when the car is blue, which shortly turned into a debate, because my car is mallard green, another producer, and walked away.

 

Then tonight, i had my seatbelt on, but i had my arm over it, instead of it being over my shoulder, it was just touching midnight, and i came down a hill in town a little over the limit as i was in 5th gear, the limit was 30 and i was doing about 40 - 45 maximum, then i just out of no where heard the roar of a diesel, and then the blues came on, FFS, bit my lip and got out...

 

First it was the seatbelt, why wasnt i wearing it, i told him i was but i admitted having my arm over the belt rather than he belt being over my arm, which then he thought i was having a laugh at his expense he then began writing me a 30.00 fixed penalty notice ticket :curse: , then asked me what speed i was doing down the road, i said i don't know because i was paying more attention to the road, he said ' well you were driving without due care and attention then ' , then the other copper started checking my tyres, tax disc etc, he said we had to do 75 to catch up with you, i said no way i was doing 40 maximum, he said come on enough of the tales get in the back of the car, got another peoducer and a 30 pound ticket.

 

I just turned around to him at the end cause he pissed me off so much, i said was i or was i not a nice lad, pleasent and honest with you? He says well i felt you lied to me on more than 2 occasions, then i replied well its your word against mine isn't it, if you are out to catch people speeding then you should have the device on you instead of throwing accusations, this is why many people dislike the policing system because you spend more time causing more misery than good, he then told me he didnt want to spend anymore time debating the matter, said good night, i screwed up both bits of paper threw them in the passenger footwell got in and fucked off.

Well 2 of those things your asking for trouble, but how can they give you a producer for different coloured body panels ? That aint illegal! ?(

You shouldn't of admitted to speeding if they didnt have proof mate. Once you did id say its deffo too late. Should of said 30mph.

 

If you have illegal plates, that isnt the officers fault is it?

 

Also as Blair said how can they do you for different body panel colours?

Too many people don't bother, but if everybody took the tropuble to complain when they feel they've been unfairly treated, it would start to make a dent in the widespread abuse, deliberate misinterpretation, and plain "I know what's best" attitude that prevails in many Officers.

 

I watched a programme on "red mist" the other night, where a woman had her car shunted out of a parking space by another irate driver. Luckily it was recorded on CCTV, but more on that in a second.

 

Up strolls PC Plod, and decides to allow the motorist who had dangerously shunted the other car (and was now parked in the space!) to remain there, while ticketing the shunted car for having a cracked number plate, damaged during the shunting! He would not listen to the woman, her passenger or witnesses!

 

That plod was later shown the CCTV footage. He was made to apologise, and the other driver did eventually get done as she should have done!

 

The point I'm making is that the copper made a judgement about the situation that was completely in error, but it would have stood if it wasn't for the fact that CCTV footage proved him wrong.

 

It's a tough job, make no mistake, but there is a "tin god", cynical, arrogance to a great many officers on the force these days. They clearly outnumber the good ones

 

I hope everything turns out OK for you,

I dont think he got done for the tailgate,just a producer which is to produce all your documents.

The first time you were pulled, you were lucky you didn't get a fine for your number plates. You got away with a producer and defect notice, which is fcuk all if your car's legal, with insurance, mot, etc.

 

The second time, again, a producer wasn't for the colour difference, just a sort of standard procedure that they do when they pull you, again fcuk all, if the car's legal.

 

Third time, well the fine was for not wearing your seatbelt properly, so is fair enough really. Some coppers might have let you get away with that and some don't, which they didn't in your case. They knew they couldn't book you for speeding, so fined you for the seatbelt instead. Again, the producer is fcuk all.

 

Wouldn't bother me, getting pulled for the above, they can give me producers all day long :)

if an officer pulls you over around 3 times in a week you can complain about harrasment my mate did this because there was an officer that pulled all young drivers who didnt have a completly standard car that officer is no longer in the area now due to so many complaints
if you ask for it, you get it :)
get over it, don't break the law and they won't pull you........simple really ?(
You got pulled 3 times and should have got 3 x £30 fines for your plates. THINK YOURSELF LUCKY
get over it, don't break the law and they won't pull you........simple really ?(

I know i could have come off worse but it just annoys me the procedure they have, costs the best part of a fiver each time to get the defects form stamped, just a load of awkard hassle for nothing.

Lee can i have some money :blink:
