     I have been checked in the car. Police set up a checkpoint along the road out of Gosport and were checking cars at random. Basic check of lights, tyres and docs (producer), so it does happen occasionally.  
 I was really annoyed 2 weeks ago when I was travelling in Essex. Long traffic Jam out of Wickford to the A127. When I got to the front the Police had coned off a lane and were pulling people in for a census with compliance enforced by the police. There were at least 10 officers. What a waste.
