Routine checks don't just catch criminals, they get peoples cars sorted like bulbs, tyres, no seatbelt, correct child seats, mobile phone, fog lights, lane hoggers. They're not just out there to make everyones life a mysery, serve and protect no? Who else is going to do it? Do the dumb people who don't check their cars pay attention to random people flashing their lights to indicate they have a headlight out? Probably not.
As said, I hate being pulled, who wouldn't? And especially with a past like mine, I've had panda cars blatantly single me out of whatever other cars are around at rush hour, I've had 2 traffic cars and a motorbike all pile down on me before for a routine
If someone flashes me - I know that there is potentially a defect with my car whether it be something hanging off, headlight out whatever. I get out and check. As for being pulled by 2 traffic cars and a bike, I've been piled down on by 3 traffic cars and had a helicopter above me, they flash me I stop as normal as I'm innocent and get ragged about because I'm resisting arrest where blatantly I have jumped out of the car with docs in hand ready...Reason for their bullish attitude: My car was flagged as stolen, they radio through to tell them that they had recovered the car and got the driver too give them the registration "No you've pulled the wrong one." My registration was M*** OOX the car they was looking for was N*** OVS. Did I get an apology, no they decided to try and find something else wrong.

Agree fully there Tom...Best place for them to park round here is the entrance to the train station which is just off of the one way system, they park up and sneakily hide themselves away...If you go round it a bit quick they stop you...If you're going slow...they stop you. Yet the amount of times I have seen cars go around the one way system THE WRONG f*cking WAY. They don't even bat an eyelid!
And as for tailgaters, I thought they'd bought a law out against it, the coppers round here are the worst f*ckers for it.
In simple terms the police really need to buck their ideas up if they expect any amount of respect when they penalise people or irritate them "Because I'm bored" it's just not an excuse. My cousin's a copper...She will not tug ANYONE unless she can actually see that they have done something wrong or they look suspicious.
