^ I used to work in that police building (on Mortimer Street?).
We had a tannoy everytime a traffic warden came, they used to ticket police cars or anything that was parked there, they honestly don't avoid ticketing them. wink

ok folks...heres the rant if the police bike in question wasnt marked but a unmarked bike...it may not have had blues n twos.
the ride..in my proffessional opinion of the police motorcyclist..(who would have had to have been advanced car AND bike...) wasnt at all iffy...he rode according to system of policve vehilce control..and i didnt see him pulling wheelies.
The front end of the bike lifts under hard acceleration..necesary to just stay even with this idiot.
I didnt see many safe places to pull the idiot over...and alot of the time the police bike wasnt near enough to do so.
The reason he didnt get stopped at the time may be many..esp if it was an undercover bike...the undercover bobby may not have wanted to reveal his identity for operational reasons...it may not have been fitted with blues n twos...
they would have locked him up afterwards at the dealership for dangerous driving.

Now...police cars DO get ticketed outside mortimer st...by supervision...can you believe.

Im sick to death of defending the job i do..to idiots that dont know better or just have some axe to grind.
Why the fook is it that no-one can say ANYTHING fkin positive about the job that we do as a police Force.
no-one says...i got stopped late last night and the bobby was alright...and infact quite sound.
And for the final fooking time...car snooker does not go on...I havent got time to wait for a fkin brown or red car..im too busy doing beauracratic crap paperwork...or dealing with idiots that can deal with their own problems they have caused expecting me to come sort them out.

Im tired, grumpy and fkin sore stil...and im rapidly getting to the point where im gonna quit giving out advice and helpful hints as no other fker seems to apprieciate it!...

people dont say 'i got stopped last night and the bobby was alright' cos it very rarely happens. From my personal experience police tend to look down there noses at us ordinary people like they think there better than us just cos they've got a badge and a stupid uniform. Am not sayin all coppers are nob heads but the ones i've met ARE! Maybe its your colleagues you need to speak to and get them to change there attitude and the way they speak to us normal folk.

IMHO 99% of the police officers do a great job under circumstances the average Joe Soap wouldn't dare venture into. In any undertaking, there's always going to be the bad apple. He/she taints the whole show. The police are no different.

When all is going well, things get taken for granted and little praise is handed out. On the odd times when it goes tits up, THAT'S when events get remembered!

Driving an oddball vehicle, I get pulled over now and again. I've never (yet) had any hassle from the boys in blue. I know that I just get pulled out of sheer curiosity. I can live with that.

If you read my post properly you will realise that i'm saying the police officers who have pulled me in the past are nob heads, have you ever pulled me and then spoke down to me? If you have, then yes i'm calling you a nob head. If not, then no i'm not callin you a nob head

Eh?

Not a joke, and nothing to laugh about, thats a real Police car with real Police, and "Police Interceptors" is a Documentary on C5 that follows them....
