"Had a PCSO start screaming at me a few weeks back at a static modified car meet and threaten me with a section 59 for the subwoofers playing. I turned them off, but respect goes both ways. The meet was organised well out of the way in a carpark, but she was going round basically just being a dickhead. I wonder if it was.....good cop...bad cop syndrome that seems to used by the proffesionals ?????. Her partner on the other hand was the complete opposite. I'm sure most people would prefer modified meets to be held out of the way in car parks. If we were breaking any laws we would have had to move.....funny how we wasn't moved. " | |||

"Yes we know they have a job to do and uphold the law, most that i know are just ordinary people with family etc and like and do the same things as most of us do. They seem to have a stigma of untrust though as if its them and us ?????. Is it society that has brought this about or one of our modern times of distrust to anthing governmental ???. "The old fashioned way was the best.....no courts no paperwork no silly cautions......i got caught red handed scrumping by a copper he asked me what was doing and why was my jumper tucked in my trousers, i just said " to keep warm" he clipped me round the ear undid my jumper and told me he was going to tell my dad ??? for lying to him. Instant justice.......that clip of my ear bloody hurt as well. | |||

"hey bad driving kills ,I got done for speeding at 31mph catch criminals don't target motorists because it makes money "Do you mean you were driving 31 in a 30 limit? I thought they didn't do you for that or 31 in a 20? If they ignore speeding where would that end? Wait until a few pedestrians are knocked over and then go back to enforcing it. I've never had any issues with the police. In the past I've been in a domestic violence situation and I found them very kind, efficient and made me and my children feel safe. I'm sure there are some that are far from perfect, but they're only human like the rest of us. Sarah | |||

"With the speeding thing it can be annoying but that's the law and supposedly we're supposed to stick to it (what gets me is when a police officer got away without loosing his license for speeding because he'd received training on high speed driving). What does annoy me is there are never police around to catch the fuckwits who drive dangerously and always seem to get away with it. " Its the distinction between driving with excessive speed (this can still happen within the limit) and speeding (as defined by law). Sometimes they do get it right- my neighbour's lodger got caught Saturday and will deffo not be on the roads for at least 12 months, I am happy to say x | |||

" The course costs money why would you do the course just take the 3 points. " The course costs slightly more than the fine, well here it does anyway. And you don't get any points. Plus the whole thing is to prevent speeding. I'm guessing they are successful or they wouldn't keep running them. If you took the points - you've still got a fine to pay as well. Plus don't you need to tell your insurers ? Sarah | |||

"speed limits are just numbers like age they have no meaning And that statement says it all i think. it does some rules are meant to be broken ,I used to enjoy driving but the advent of speed cameras and over policing of traffic offences have soured my enjoyment "Sorry but i couldnt disagree more the law is the law whether you agree or not. A quick google will tell you... • On 30 mph roads, where the majority of people killed or seriously injured, over half of drivers speed (53%). • Speeding is the leading factor in fatal crashes and reported in 28-30% of fatal crashes. • Fixed speed cameras can only be located at sites where: 1) there have been four or more fatal or serious injury collisions in the past three years 2) 20% of drivers exceed the speed limit 3) there is no practical alternative measure • Of the £120 million collected in speeding fines last year, only £20 million (less than the equivalent of VAT) went into the Treasury, with £100 million invested in camera operations and safety measures. I for one cant argue with that | |||

Sorry but i couldnt disagree more the law is the law whether you agree or not.
A quick google will tell you...
• On 30 mph roads, where the majority of people killed or seriously injured, over half of drivers speed (53%).
• Speeding is the leading factor in fatal crashes and reported in 28-30% of fatal crashes.
• Fixed speed cameras can only be located at sites where:
1) there have been four or more fatal or serious injury collisions in the past three years
2) 20% of drivers exceed the speed limit
3) there is no practical alternative measure
• Of the £120 million collected in speeding fines last year, only £20 million (less than the equivalent of VAT) went into the Treasury, with £100 million invested in camera operations and safety measures.
I for one cant argue with that" | |||

"There was a program on a few weeks ago called rookies all about young police men and women some looked as if they were going to be OK but there was one. Said he had been bullied at school any one breaks the law is going to get it said it was his time now my pay back time he said. What a basted he is going to be " Yes I was bullied to perhaps I know how he feels to some extent but not sure about the pay back time sounds rather Immature for a up comeing police officer if that is his prime objective in joining the force. | |||

"I have a friend who's younger brother is autistic. At Xmas he and another mate were beaten with iron bars after intervening against a group of racists. My mate's brother's arm was broken. The police have done jack. Apparently there was no CCTV footage, despite the attack occurring outside a nightclub. Apparently no witnesses were forthcoming, despite my father finding 3 when he went on a local fact finding mission. Apparently the photo footage of the car that was taken was not enough to find anyone... It's almost like the local police don;t give a shit. " Can't they complain to the police complaint commission ? | |||

I bailed him out of jail at 2am the next morning.
So what happened?
So my friend has gone for a slash in the park, the thug's son had seen him. I don;t know what he saw, of course, but the thug then took it upon himself to beat 7 shades of shit out of my mate.
A court case - Crown Court - ensued for 6 months where my friend was charged with Indecent Exposure and faced prison and entry on to the Sex Offender's Register.
The case eventually thrown out by the judge.
Turns out the case had been adjourned twice because said thug had failed to appear twice to give the evidence that the police were relying on.
Turns out the police had hidden that information from the defence and court.
Turns out the arresting officer and the thug have known each other since school.
.
All that time, worry, expense, pain, everything - was for absolutely nothing.
All because a police officer was an old friend with a known criminal.

However i have no fines to pay either."but you can't convince me you don't speed everyone does ,I got done at 31 mph and I was watching my speed ,so wether you like it or not at some point you are guilty as charged ,you may not even notice you did it because you were concentrating on the road ahead and we are not talking once we are talking many times ,I can't be put in that position anymore of having to pay that additional tax but you can and eventually you will get caught | |||

"We can all sit here bitching about the police in the UK but just think if they were the same as they are in the states " No bitching about the police from me. And, trademark, you don't speak for me either. I don't speed. I don't care if you believe me or not. But it is perfectly possible for any good driver to keep within the speed limit. | |||

But it is perfectly possible for any good driver to keep within the speed limit." sorry but on the law of averages you can't be that definite I'm not having a dig I'm just saying it is impossible not to go even one mile per hour over that 30 mph speed limit and nobody could convince me otherwise ,I don't deny I've been over the speed limit many times ,I don't deny that's breaking the law but I have never had an accident or claim against my insurance and would say I'm a good driver and that's not being arrogant ,I'm also a considerate driver ,I just believe too much emphasis is put on policing traffic ,catch the true criminals the thieves,the sex pests ,the fraudsters better use of their time | |||

"Hehe hey its my opinion I can't change it and I find that the police are taking full advantage especially as they get the direct benefit of speeding fines its a conflict of interest ,I dont have a car at the minute and may not buy another prefer to cycle stay fit and use other forms of transport so all you British drivers who love paying fines carry on driving ,suckers

You don't know me. I know me. I don't speed. I have always been a careful competent driver however i have had a close family member die following a rtc which left my children with no dad hence i am very aware of how i drive and i don't speed.

"are targeting people who aren't criminals ,if its so unsafe to drive at speeds over 30mph why are we allowed to buy cars that can cruise at 200mph if you drive in this country you're a criminal ,I got pulled the other night driving home from local shop and the young coppers every other utterance was I don't believe you I don't believe a word you're saying ,even though I knew I possibly was speeding I didn't have a clue by how much ,catch criminals don't target drivers because it puts money in the coffers ,my friend who is the loveliest guy is a copper played squash with him every weekday morning for years but he checked my car over with his inspector if they had found something I'm sure they would have nicked me ,I agree so areas of policing are very difficult but drivers are not criminals everyone including a policeman speeds you can't help it cars aren't built to drive at 30 mph !!!!
I love how you had no idea by how much you were speeding by and you hold no responsibility and think they are over policing.
Speeding kills! hey bad driving kills ,I got done for speeding at 31mph catch criminals don't target motorists because it makes money
31mph i doubt they pulled you over for that theres a thresh hold. 1 or 2mph they will ignore.
Bad driving skills is rubbish. Its about being able to stop in time. I got a speeding ticket for 31 mph and a £60 or £80 fine I appealed it but they enforced it the course costs money why would you do the course just take the 3 points ,speed limits are just numbers like age they have no meaning ,a bad driver is a bad driver many bad drivers drive within the speed limits ,also speedometers vary so they can be out by a few mph ,I knew speed camera van was there was watching speed and was under 30 mph this was a regular police camera van haunt I protested but they were having none of it hence my feeling about over policing traffic offences drivers aren't criminals what we are is an easy target for fines and that's why they are so vociferous with it "Don't get caught then. Over thirty years, I have had two lots of three points, for speeding in a thirty, and the last time, I didn't want the points, so I did the course. Getting caught is just bad luck. Live with it. | |||

"speed limits are just numbers like age they have no meaning And that statement says it all i think. it does some rules are meant to be broken ,I used to enjoy driving but the advent of speed cameras and over policing of traffic offences have soured my enjoyment
I am sure the grieving relatives would just love hearing that. you could kill some driving at two miles per hour I know two people one woman who backed over her young son on her driveway and killed him and another woman who dropped her dad off at a club and put car in reverse gear instead of forward and reversed over her dad and killed him speed wasn't the problem bad driving kills not the speed at which you drive ,we all speed its inevitable in a modern car especially a high performance car and the police are just as guilty of it as us xx I've seen police sat a traffic lights put on the blues and twos get past the lights then turn them off talk about take the piss exactly they are people at the end of the day being a policeman doesn't change that its human nature to do things you're not supposed to and they abuse the LAW the same as we do ,as " swingers" most on here break the moral codes of life but you do it because you find it exciting ,exhilarating and naughty same thing laws exist as a moral code of life but life didn't start with codes "This reminds me of the time I nearly got arrested because I mouthed the words "its fucking 50" to a copper who flashed me out the way while I was doing 50. He tried to tell me it's his right as a police officer to speed, to which I replied the law is the same for me & him. After a bit of arguing along the lines of I'm on an emergency call with my reply of where was your light then? He decided I wasn't gonna back down he "let me off with a warning" and drove off making sure he didn't go over 50 | |||

You are speaking for YOURSELF not other people, don't tar everyone with the same brush in terms of your driving ability, my dad when teaching me to drive said its other people you have to watch not yourself, I've been involved in 2 accidents both were the result of other people speeding, this is why I no longer have the confidence to drive. The fact you admit to speeding then assume that other people do the same..."it is of course based on my 46 years of witnessing driving, other peoples and mine ,being on the motorway overtaking in the outside lane at 70mph and gettiing flashed to get out the way or undertaken ,we all have experiences to reenact but my comments are more based on the focus the police put on traffic rather than real crime ,its not a crime to drive and I think in certain instances it is acceptable to speed eg when overtaking ,accidents happen yes and statistics are produced yes but a careless inconsiderate driver could cause said accident driving at the speed limit and a bad driver of which their are many will always cause accidents ,I'm just saying let the police concentrate more on real crime | |||
