Off the topic sorry but:
Rubbish...lol

the police are ACE and they do a CORKER JOB....especially the traffic police...

IMO: this unfortunate stereotype comes from a combination of a proportion of idiodts that burn up speed restictions (mainly 30 Zones) showing off on testoterone overdoses etc and are miffed cos they get shafted and small minority of officers who are snotty/arragant/impolite/power-trip when they do a stop (and thats a human/personnallity thing...not a police thing. In my experience MOST officers are ROLE MODDELS
