Motorway cops - cops out of order?

No he wasn't.

The car company made an clerical error with his plates, they weren't fake plates.

Which he knew about. He knew he was driving with the wrong plates. The Coppers simply knew there was a Civic Type R, reported for driving away from a petrol station, on false plates in front of them. They acted correctly.

With a name like CaSh MoNeY (LOL ALTERNATE CAPS IS SO KEWL) I'm hardly suprised you side with the brat anyway :p

I know he knew because i have watched it ten times lol. :confused: I was saying they were not fake plates.

Predictable TWFox attempting to belittle somebody on a forum because of a username. Such a brave person.

If you watch his reaction again he knew full well he wasn't supposed to be on them, and came out with another stroppy reply "They didn't tell me I couldn't" - Well braniac, if they pull you in the first place for illegal plates, chances are, they’re still illegal the next day.

I agree, there's no denying the lad was very immature, he should have got it sorted the day after!
 
2 instances in that show that sum up the difference in attitudes in a lot of drivers.

The young lad in the civic, complete plank and seeing as the camera was there decided to play up. He was on dodgy plates, he shouldn't be teararsing around everywhere on them. They should be changed at the earliest opportunity.

The older guy on the bike pulled for speeding, polite with the officer and listened to him, got off with a warning (even though he was doing 90-95mph)

Difference being good manners will usually get you further than bad ones.

I don't think the cop had any intention of doing that guy for speeding even before he got our of the car. IMO the biker didn't take any notice of the cop at all. He didn't show any remorse for speeding and kept with his 'keeping up with traffic' excuse throughout. He didn't get off with a warning because of his good attitude, more because of the cops attitude and intention.
 
But mainly because the police couldn't get an official reading because of traffic. They even told the biker that.

Had not a lot to do with his attitude imo.
 
The cocky little twit got what he deserved, everybody knows if you get stoped by the law then you are calm, do exactly what the officer requests of you etc.

Unfortunately the little lad didn't have the common sense, he knew that he had illegal plates so what does he expect!

HEADRAT
 
He wasn't unlucky to have been nicked for the plates, he was lucky the first time when he was given a chance to fix them, especially with his apparent attitude.

I know, it's the 6th time this week I've tried to 'belittle somebody on a forum becuase of a username' :rolleyes:

Yeah, because you are such an anti-person person. :p

CaSh_MoNeY - You really didn't watch and pay attention did you?

The plates were fakes, and the kid made up the comment about the dealers. 'Ummm...<big pause>...the dealers made a mess up' - Sure they did. :rolleyes:

He also knew he shouldn't be driving on them as he's been pulled and told they were illegal.

Stupid kid trying to avoid fines is all really.

The guy was literally dragged from HIS car, ruffed up and then thrown in the back of the cop car. He was treated with no respect whatsoever.

Why should he sit there and say 'yes sir no sir'?

Plus the **** of a copper with the glasses was provoking him, bang out of order!

He was a suspected car thief who had also stolen petrol from a petrol station - when asked to get out of the car he refused that's why the police had to be a bit more assertive. I think the cops behaved properly. If it had been more of a crook you can bet that it would not have been so gentle - crooks when pinned in a corner will lash out, hard. Incarceration is a hell of a motivator for crooks to do their damnedest to not get caught. If you've got a crook, you hit hard and quick, you don't dilly dally.

The cop with the glasses wasn't provoking him, the brat was pushing his buttons sure, but he remained professional throughout - I'd love to have had a 1-1 with that brat just to explain to him how the world works, or as I said, in the middle of a rugby scrum or ruck :D

The Type-R lad was a **** People like him should be givin a good kicking to so he can learn some manners and respect people!

People will treat you the way you treat them - thats the way of the world. He started mouthing off and swearing so he deserved it.

I was pulled up by the police a little over 3 weeks ago for doing 72mph on a 50mph dual c/way (A66). He let me go with no producer or warning because i admitted my fault and was polite. Thats all it takes!!
 
No he was a ***** *****, should have conducted himself in the correct manor and he may have got somewhere, instead he was aggressive and immature.

Didn't he check that the plate was correct or something? Thats the first thing you would do if getting one made up surely.

And, I thought that you aren't supposed to use your vehicle again once issued with the 14 day notice penalty. So what the hell is he doing cruising up a motorway? Just asking for trouble.

I was issued with a £30 fine for my plate (being to small on a motorbike) and I just took it on the chin. If your prepared to break the law, deal with the consequences like a man, not a boy.

The guy was a Grade A tool - driving around knowingly on false plates, what did he expect? What possible reason would he have for delaying paying for new plates anyway?

Cocky moron. And how does an 18 year old afford to buy and insure a '54 plate Civic Type R anyway?

Rich mummy and daddy by the sounds of it
 
No offence CaSh_MoNeY, but you come across as someone who doesn't like the Police at all, I could very well be wrong, as it's hard to gauge these things through text, but to me that's how it seems.


I missed the actual stop on this one, all I caught when I came back into the room was the officer reaching into the car - for the keys I had presumed, and the kid pushed the officer away.

The officer was being forceful, but they did say (afterwards I think) that they were going for this type of stop, I am guessing that this was down to the fact they were faced with a potential stolen car that had already made off from a petrol station – who’s to say they would run after pulling over?

This lad really needed to do some growing up, he had an attitude like a spoilt little kid most of the time, and I think the officers were right to treat him the way they did; as the old adage goes - treat those as you wish to be treated.

Scort.
 
I reckon a good proportion of the time a nicked performance car is likely to fly off into the distance the second the police car stops so it's absolutely no wonder they went in with the aggressive approach they took.
 
Dont think they were out of order at all.. personally I'd have nightsticked the little runt...

He was breaking the law, plain and simple...

As for his 14 days - well.. you dont answer back to the bobbys...

Even if you dont like the police I honestly dont see the point in being anything other than polite and respectful to them.

I've only ever dealt with the police on two occasions but on both I was polite and respectful and they were to me in return. I got let off with a ticking off after going around a roundabout a little quickly.
