Cops, Gotta love 'em...

Sometimes.

Just got this from a friend in the Britains:

Was pulled over last night by a copper who'd followed me for a couple
of miles and breathalysed. Bearing in mind I could barely stand it was no surprise to find I was massively over the limit.
This was particularly disgraceful as I had the missus and kiddie with me in
the car. I was arrested and read my rights. It was all a very salutary
experience, especially when the copper got shirty because I found the
whole business side-splittingly funny.
His mate, whilst the arrest took place, went and had a good look round the
car, came back and started whispering to the other copper. They are
whispering frantically at each other and neither of them look very pleased.
Copper turns to me and starts accusing me of wasting police time, he calls
me a tw*t.
I point out he's just sworn at a member of the public, in front of an 18
month
old child and that I'll report him for conduct unbecoming. Plod got back
in their car and drive off, with the copper who'd had a look round my
car laughing his head off.







And the moral of the story for the police
is........................ Always check whether a car is left or right hand drive

I nearly pissed myself.

I don't get it Dranoel, when he asked the guy for his drivers license he didn't notice there was no steering wheel in front of him? You are saying that his wife was driving right? What kinda cops they got over there?

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Yes, his wife was driving. It was a left-hand drive car like we use.

Those ones were obviously twats.

I've got to say, this story doesn't ring completely true to me. It's too OTT with the slang and so on, kind of forced. He also says, "Was pulled over... following me," surely he would've said "us".

Also, he wouldn't have been arrested immediately, that's not the way it works here. No matter what state the suspected drunk driver is in, the actual arrest and reading of rights doesn't happen until a blood test has been done, back at the station. If they are still found to be over the limit after this, they are then arrested and so on. Breathalisers are known to make errors, that's why the blood test is needed. It's all about civil rights, I guess.

Anyway, while this story is bloody funny, I believe it is merely another urban myth.
