My "run-ins" with the police extend as far as having known some of them personally, and observing their behaviour when off-duty, such as drink driving, driving without seat belts, and checking tax discs of cars parked at their own local. Also, arguing loudly at the bar and getting shirty and threatening police attention when they lost the argument. One of them made a ton of compo out of the Hillsborough disaster for stress. Stress didn't stop him shagging other men's wives. (Not mine before you ask).
I also resent nothing being done when my car and bike were stolen.
I've seen them hide and wait while the instigators of fights went away, then roughly arrested the victims. Cowards.
I would not extinguish a burning copper with my own urine..
