Hi all.

Not sure where i stand here, or whether anything can be done..

Basically i just got spotted by an unmarked police car - 3 Series Beemer infact...

I was Overtaking - 2 Laned road up a hill.

The cop was sat in a small turning, in his black car in the dark where he couldn't be seen.

I didn't see him but my girlfriend claimed he had a gun type thing that he was using.
He didn't get in the car and chase me or anything, so can anything be done?

There were other cars about, the car i was overtaking was doing near on the same speed, then slammed his brakes on - I didn't even react!

Any suggestions?
Cheers

hows he going to have your reg plate if he was only using a laser

they always have police on bikes/faster patrol cars further up and they radio them to stop you.

or they just stop you there and then.

i get worried about getting caught all the time, but nothing has come through yet luckily enough

I did turn round and go back, where he was getting in the car - When i redirected to carry on home, he pulled another silver focus in a layby further up - Unless they have cameras in the cars or on the guns these days? though it was hand held...?

Really not sure to be fair, and quite concerned..

Cheers
