These guys mean business.
Q I was pulled up for alleged speeding by a very annoying and patronising fifty-something copper, who kept calling me “sir” in a really slimy way. He was an ordinary copper, still a constable, driving around showing off to his rather prettier younger sidekick. He told me that his speedo showed me travelling at “well over 60mph in a 40 zone” and he was struggling keeping up with me in his diesel Astra. I didn’t tell him he needed a proper police car, not a glorified taxi. Anyway, I do my homework and I know my rights, so when I asked the copper if his speedo was calibrated he said it was not, and I asked him to show me his camera evidence of me speeding, and he said the vehicle was not equipped with a camera, so I told him he could stick his so called speeding ticket where the sun doesn’t shine.
