I was always so positive about the police, only been spoken to once after my knock before I'd got a new numberplate, told me they could fine me, but didn't and sent me on my way (2 female officers in Cornwall).
Then driving in brum, pulled out of Aldi, cock of a junction, parked cars both sides, right next to a set of traffic lights at a crossroads. Looked both ways, twice, and pulled out, unmarked cop car comes haring round the junction and pulls right up to my door (unnecessary, had loads of space to stop). Two armed guys get out, are incredibly confrontational, and eventually tell me to get out of the middle of the road, and proceeded to tell me I was a terribly driver, completely in the wrong and should get 6 points and a fine etc. etc. Claim my car is stolen as it's registered in Cornwall, but shut up when I say I live there (urmm, you'd think they'd realise that at a shop 200m from campus). After realising they can't put anything on me (largely because I have 3 witnesses) they send me on my way.
