Yes... The Police, Her Majesty's force, The Old Bill, The bacon squad, The filth.... what have you.
What do you think of them? Do you respect them? Do you hate them?
I used to like them, I used to respect them.... and in some circumstances I still do, they are just people and they are just doing a job.
But alot of them let the power go to their heads.... the other day I was driving down the road I live on and there was a 4x4 police car wanting to turn right out of a junction onto the road I was on (the way I was going) the car infront of me slowed down to turn off to the left and so I braked too... only down to about 25mph or so and was not intending to stop but of course Mr Policeman thought that meant he could pull out in front of me and force me to stop.... and he did but was I **** stopping.... I made him wait in the middle of the road.... Why should I do an emergency stop to let him out? What annoys me is the look he gave me.... as if I'd just done something wrong- when it was him who'd pulled clean out in front of me! I was expecting the old blue lights to come on to pull me over and get a bollocking.... but they didn't. He knew he was in the wrong. (Obvisouly if he had had his blue lights on in the first place I would have let him out.... even if I would have had to do an emergency stop.... I'm not a ****, I do give way to any authority vehical if it has its blue lights on).
Then there is the issue of the speed guns. Every day in Bordon there is a police van and 3 police officers speed gunning cars through the 30mph limit they have there..... the fact that the limit is a joke only makes matters worse.... it isn't a resedential area nor a busy high street... the road is long, sraight and wide yet they still insist on punishing people for doing over 30mph.... it's a joke. Why don't they leave the road alone and go and solve some real crimes?.... And to make things a laughing matter, coming into a 30 limit the other day off a dual carriage way I was still doing 70.... until my mate pointed out there was a police speed gun van in the lay-by literally JUST into the speed limit.... the bastards- no safety issue, just a way to gain money. I went through it at 65 (which, in theory if I'd been gunned would have been my license gone) but to my releaf the useless bastards were at the burger van they'd parked next to scoffing down kebabs and cans of coke.... all courtesy of tax payers money.
The Police service should be good.... and they should get respect.... but can they complain that they are disliked when they so often act like such power mad, useless twats?
