Treat them as you'd like to be treated and thet're spot on, ive only ever been pulled once in 3yrs, that was for speeding, no points, no fine just a "oh you've got your docs on you, oh it's a 2.0 engine is it?" "Well watch what your doing son, cya later"

Central Motorway coming from newcastle town centre, coming over flyover, through the tunnel before you join the central (you probably know where that is corsabadboy) and head towards fenham\cowgate.

He chased me from there to morrisons at cowgate in the van lol his first words when he approched me was "you were fooking flying there son, i couldnt catch you!" he was in the van

Police cars and equipment have to be checked that they are in good working order before they leave the station.

A bald tyre on a police car (highly unlikely) wont stop u getting a ticket.

but you can fight anything that come of it. on the basis that the equipment (police car with bald tyre) is defective/faulty. most cases u get away with what ever you had wrong.

same as if you stopped for speeding. you have the right to see the calibration ticket. the guns have to calibrated every so often. sometimes (again you have to be lucky) it has not been done, therefroe allowing you to fight any decisions, claiming that the equipment is faulty.

why question the fuzz and blatently break the law knowing you are in the wrong having already been told to remove tints?
i really dont understand the mentality of the younger generation
what if you have a bump and find out you are not covered(lets face it insurance companies dont need much of an excuse to void policies)you will be posting on here saying blah blah insurance are twats blah blah how can they do this

obide the law and get on with it

Our Police cars with tinted windows belong to firearms units....try telling them their tints are too dark

Oh and the reason they are tinted is so that members of the public arent concerned by the guns they have inside the vehicle

I got pulled last night for 'dangerous driving'

I didn't even think I was doing anything wrong, I was taking corners at the speed limit which will look quick but I'm sure that's not illegal.

Of course the only problem being is that is was the same coppers that pulled me last time who threatened to take my licence away. So I think the only way they let me off AGAIN was because I was nice. If I started giving attitude about lights being out they'd have done me.

In muppetsport fashion. FACT.
