A police officer's job is to examine people and they should be able to distinguish between a normal person and a dangerous criminal/violent psychopath.

Or maybe they've seen a number of cases where someone pulls over, and then when the officers get the car, they floor the car again, possibly risking the officers lives... Hence resorting to the training to try and prevent that!?
omg! that's a bit ott of the police. I don't even like my local police, bunch of useless pigs.
2 years ago, my wife was stopped the police 5 am in the morning and questioned her why was she out so early in the morning. One of the police woman tried to accuse my wife of being a drug dealer.

I bet thats totally how it went down and there isnt more to it, or anything.

They can tell when they do the ID checks when they stop you and more importantly police officers are taught how to differentiate between law abiding citizens and dangerous criminals, granted it can be hard in some circumstances but no I dont think this guy was a big threat...
Yeah, it could be that too but that don't mean you regularly bust peoples windows just to be sure there no danger, that's way OTT and inproportionate.

To be fair, I was stopped early in the morning and asked why I was driving so early.
I wasn't accused of being a drug-dealer however, although they got a little excited when they asked me if the Car was mine and I said No....It was my wifes.
I was also driving through some of the more, shall we say less select neighbourhood in London several years ago, I was in a nice sports saloon and wearing a BB cap. I was stopped a total of six times in three hours, 4 toward my destination and twice back.
Again, I was never accused of anything and they simply checked my details and sent me on my way, the last Policeman, nice chap, said it might be preferable to remove my BB cap while driving when I questioned why I had been pulled so many times and sure enough I wasn't pulled anymore.
It would seem that communication between units isn't big in the capital though.
We can all imagine anything...[TW]Fox;17114571 said:
Are we not giving to much creedance to cops here?
Sure they do a good job on the whole, but essentially you don't need any qualifications or real experience to join them. They are not hand picked elites or whatever, just ordinary people at best.
