Zedrush Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I watched something on TV the otherday where police were working on the motorway and pulled some kid from the car cos he didnt pay for petrol and they thought the car was stolen. The police proper man handled him I thought, and the kid was not threatening him in the slightest, I thought to myself if that was me the police would find himself head first in his front windscreen and ill just say self defence Sorry mate, don't agree!! A thief is a thief....imo they should get him in the back of a police van and give him a good kicking. Bit of down to earth street justice is what this country needs. No doubt he got away with a telling off and a rather sought after ASBO or some nonsense like that. Well actually they found out that their information on the system was incorrect, the car did belong to the kid, and that at the petrol station survellance you actually see the kid giving full information about himself where he states that he told the guy he will get money and go back to pay. The information he gave was correct to. But the police didnt apologise and the guy at the station said he called the police just to update on the siituation should the kid not turn out to be who he is. I also know when I was asked for a producer, routine check, the police guy told me that he would compound by car as according to his records I had no insurance and no license to drive, later this was blown over as they had the wrong information. He was really rude to me and I never got an apology.. But dispite all of this I also know of police who have pulled me over and have been very fair and polite to. just depends who you get, but god help any police who lay their fingers on me without any reason than just to push their weight around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I had the same thing happen to me. Yes it's the law but I still think it's more to do with statistics than what their system can do/recognise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
