| Well as far as attitude goes I was polite I pulled up where directed and removed my helmet and Yes i was probably older than all the coppers. I was polite, I have a good relationship with all the police at work (yes they are a proper constabulary gaurding the Atomic Energy sites) so I know how to behave. But what is the point of treating them decent when they can't be bothered to do the same especially the traffic division.
It would probably cost to much to fight this in court and as I have a clean Licence with only one other offence in over 25 years and that was another petty one 7 years ago I can't see as its worth it.
Pay the fine take the points and view all coppers in a different light from now on, if they're going to tar me with the same brush as the idiots that wheelie up and down all evening at bike nights I may as well tar them all with the same brush.
I chatted about the incident with my dad (79 tomorrow) and I can see he has little respect for the police these days so that just about says it all for me, bet he's glad he fought for his King and country even if it was only for a year.  |
