woo glad it's calmed down in here now!

They have nothin better to do!
Me and adam got stopped the other day coz of the reg plate being in the window, and omg we were there for about 20mins!

He sed he dosent do ppl for speeding and stuff like that, only things he can give producers for, its like get a life and do somethin useful!

Rant over!

What do you mean "they havent got anything better to do" Kaytie?

I am not being funny or anything, but am I correct that they are police? And am I correct in thinking that police are there to prevent crime and catch criminals?

Having the number plate in the window is basically the same as asking a plod to pull you.

I dont know what you are expecting the plod to do... they arnt paid to play bowls or anything yano, they are paid to do thier job. Which from what you are saying, they are doing.

I dont see why people moan when they get pulled or get in to trouble with the plod... especially when they are asking to be pulled (in this case the number plate).

No need for a rant Kaytie, it all sounds well within their job description from what you have posted.

Bloody ell matt no need to have a go am jus sayin!
U get far to political with all this stuff!

Am just gettin sick of people slating the plod for doin thier jobs, just because people who attract their attention get pulled and checked upon or even end up with points etc for having a mod etc that isnt legal...

No!
All im saying is that they should be doing something more useful!
Not having ur reg plate in the correct place is not going to cause an accident! Therfor it is not going to prevent an accident eitha it if is in the right place! He bizzie got a call over his radio sayin that he was needed else were for a diturbance, too me that is alot more important that having a reg plate in the right place, when there was a very plausable reason for not havin it in the correct place!!!

FYI, plod wont pull someone when they are:

a. en route to an emergency
b. just got a call for another emergency.

However, when they pull someone, they are "supposed" to see the incident through prior to attending another emergency.

And there are plenty of plod, I can assure you that the copper who pulled you wasnt the only plod on duty and whatever incident was announced on the radio, will have been attended to by another plod. For all you know, there could have been loads of other plod who were actually nearer to the incident then he was anyway!

And you say it was a plausable reason... How was the plod supposed to know this reason without pulling him to ask? Plod may claim to be many things at times, but even they cant claim to be psychic yano!

Face it, your peeved off because you got pulled... At the end of the day, everyone gets pulled, the car you were in was sending an open invitation to plod to pull you by having the reg plate in the windscreen.

It happens, get over it, dont moan about it, cos its done and moaning wont get you anywhere. Also, would you moan if you had just had your wing mirror kicked off again and a plod decided to chase the person who done it? I mean surely your theory would apply in such an incident, I mean surely they would have something better to do then to chase the person to find out why he just kicked your wing mirror off. I mean its not going to cause an accident or anything is it.....

lol I think matty sud have a police mans job, he tends to correct ppl and he sounds like he can do a better job then the plod are.

Before u say anything i sed he sounds like he can do a better job not he can do a better job.



Surely not everyone gets pulled! well i havnt soo far an av bin past many police blockade things. came bk from me cousins about 1-2am so i got off the motorway exiting the higherbebington, clatterbrigde exit and as i was about to go onto the mount road i saw 20-25policemen/women standin around blockin off the brackenwood road. Gave me a shock lol dint expect erm as i went around the corner haha , i slowly drove past erm an i was expectin erm to stop me n ask me questions but they neva.

Number plates are more imprtant than even now as we now have Number Plate Recognition Camera's

By having his number plate in the windscreen a camera probably wouldnt be able to read it. This means he could be driving around with no Tax, Mot or insurance and he would be dodging these camera's.

I am with the plod on this one, we need to stop un-insured drivers as its the rest of us that pay for them and i am fed up of paying through the nose ........

Matty C, are you a copper? lol.

The police are there to do their jobs, to stop uninsured drivers, drivers without licenses, drivers in cars that are unfit for the road and perhaps a danger to everyone else on the road.

They lay down rules on what is legal and what is illegal when it comes to mods, tyre tread, window tints etc and if you cross the line into what is deemed illegal then you are going to have to accept the consequences for doing so, it really is that simple.

Thats not to say that should you get pulled and fined that you shouldnt be annoyed because obviously you would.

Its like speeding, you do it, you may not think about it, but its illegal and if you get caught you have absolutely no right to complain.

We may think they are tough, but at the end of the day they are the rules of the land.

Matty im not moaning that the police pulled us i thought it was sooo funny!

All im tryin to say is that they could b doing something more productive, like preventing crimes!

Stop gettin so political, ur having a go at me, and this is like my 1st opinion on things like this!!!!!!!

Im not having a go babe, you were having a rant about a plod, I was simply pointin out that he was just his job and its well within his job description to pull someone for what you described.

IM not having a moan about them!
Yeah the plob can be arse holes at times, but they have there uses to!

Iv had the police come and check i was ok when i have bee out with lad mates lol! x

ohh my god I didnt know you hung around with curb crawlers, police are always looking out for prostitutes these days. ha ha ha ha ha ha

pmsl thats not a very nice thing to say mr johnny alan!!

I have only ever been pulled by the police once and that was to do a survey thingy about drinking. the police who pulled me were very polite and when i told them i hardly ever drink they just said sorry for the time it took and the woman officer said i had a very nice car and to have a safe journey, not all police are out there to piss everyone off, some are nice too. I dont think i have got anything illigal about my car but if i had spent a fortune tinting all the windows then id be a bit gutted that i had to rip them off, come on i think most ppl would be if they had done that. ive got rear tints on the soft top and i find it ok to see out of but im not gonna get the fronts tinted because i try and avoid being pulled by the police. I do think 3 points and a fine and removing your tints is too much of a punishment for just having ur windows tinted. people do far worse and get far less punishments, its not as if you were doing 100mph on the motorway or anything. i feel sorry for you mate, i know its illigal having front tints but i still feel for ya.
