Someone rubbed you up the wrong way Andy??
My take on this-it's not the police who are the problem-it's the lawmakers-we all know the saying 'The law is an ass'...............
Like the law which I am sure is still on the statute book which states that within London a hackney carriage(that's a black cab to you and me) has to carry a bale of hay for the horse.
I don't mind the road traffic act being applied to me, and if I get it wrong I get a talking to or a ticket-what REALLY winds me up is when members of the goverment seem to be immune to the law-like Tony Blair getting himself driven down the M4 bus lane because he was late-why shouldn't he get a ticket-you or I would-it's not as though he was being led by police. He is the prime minister therefore responsible for the law, he's even a barrister for goodness sake-so why does he think he is above the law????
