CID aren't traffic police, so they wouldn't be pulling anyone over! I've been pulled over before, it was a nosy policeman, very friendly, no harm done.

Re: LOL pulled over !

If they were behind you for a while, they must have done a background check on your numberplate or scrutinised your car for misdemeaners, like lights not working, bits hanging off, etc, they even know if your insurance is up-to-date now and decided to pull you over for further checks.

Only you will know the answer to why they pulled you over, by the questions they asked

Or maybe you really just do look like a thug (just joking EEK!)

From now on, do what I did in the middle east while driving there, wear an arab headcover, they cant see your face.....

Re: LOL pulled over !

Do you look like a thug?

Or

Do you bear a resemblance to a thug that they are looking for?

I've been followed home (for 10 miles) by dog wardens (after they pulled out on my while I was overtaking them because ''they didn't think it was safe''). Admittedly they didn't 'pull' me as I stopped before I got to the house (dead end with nowhere for me to go and at that point I still didn't know they were police) but they came to my window with their questions while the proper police they'd radiod made their way down. Then the real bvllshit began.

I've been pulled over before, it was a nosy policeman, very friendly, no harm done.

Invariably they've made their minds up that some offence is being committed and set about finding the evidence. That would be just about acceptable if when they find nothing they displayed some grace instead of the usual 'we'll get you next time' attitude.

Me and my car have both been issued with ASBOs - an absurdity.

A few years back I heard of a guy who got prosecuted for wearing a balaclava while driving. Can't remember the precise charge - something to do with 'menacing other road users'.

The main reason we wore arab headcover and dark sunglasses in the middle east, was the fact arab police specifically picked on 'white men' if spotted, to check their car paperwork was up to date or it was a fine (which I am sure was going in their backpockets). So we just decided to blend in with the locals, who wore headcover as standard out there, stopped the hastle

Between that, the mad driving of cars going over roundabouts as short cuts, or inside overtaking off road in the sand during traffic jambs, the thumping of car bumpers to get a parking space big enough, plus car horns blazing all the time. Yes, we don't know how nice it is to drive in the UK.

I think we in the UK are about the only country on Earth, where you hardly ever hear a car horn on a journey. we must be so calm and full of self restraint, or full of something

Why? Was your burqa in the wash? They would have left you alone if you'd been wearing that.

Re: LOL pulled over !

Some drug dealers cottoned on to the fact that police weren't going to pull over smart cars looking for drugs as drug dealers wouldn't drive a smart and there were fewer places to hide stuff. However, the info soon got the police so now they target dodgy looking people in smarts.

Re: LOL pulled over !

Typical of law enforcement types to belief only the scruffy commit crime. Maybe when they lead Rebekka and Charlie Brooks to the cells they'll understand better.
The police need to learn that the biggest crimes - read fraud - have been perpetrated by those wearing the sharpest suits. But then again a police uniform is just another suit.....

No you weren't. Only a constable in uniform has the power to stop a vehicle, and last time I looked around the office full old detectives at work, of which I am one, not a single person was in uniform.

Even if we wanted to we would not be able to, as because plain clothed officers don't have the power they don't fit our cars with strobes or wailers.
