Yeah used to happen alot, and on the trip into work at 3am i was pulled alot, simply because i was the only car on the a12 and probably going a bit quick.
Pulled over for no lights on too It wasnt particularly dark, i was going along at the speed limit and the cop didnt see me so almost pulled out in front of me

got pulled once after the cop almost crashed into me in a car park, he was a bit of a twat and for no good reason, as soon as a bunch of chavs went past in a pimped bmw couldn't wait to leave me.
2nd time brake light out and showing as no insurance, had just renewed so he said it doesn't always update straight away, you don't look like someone to drive insured, get the bulb sorted as soon as and let me on my way, he was quite nice tbh.
Never been stopped in the C touch wood

stpped a last sat for pressed plates, just told me to change em over, he stood and chatted to me about his new bmw trafic car and about how well mine sat, explained why my plates where illegal because the font couldnt be read by camera so if my car was stolen and they had camera cars on main routes looking for it, then it would slip by un-noticed, also told me to use velcro on plates then i can swap over for shows easily

This morning ironically enough, for some shit traffic census.
I have the copper badge number for being an absolute arse to me and a producer to take to slough police station. He didn't seem to understand I was mid way through my 40 minute commute from Windsor to Amersham and really wanted to get to work before the traffic built up.
On the whole though, coppers are nice, i've always been legal and 99% of times i've had dealings with them they have been polite and chatty

techincally not pulled as i was parked up but that was just to make sure i wasnt doing drugs as i was apparently parked in a place renowned for drug use
then the second time actually pulled over was for the small front plate.
also had a police car slow right down on a dual carriage way and pull over onto a slip road just so id go past him, so he could follow me for a bit (bout 2am in the mornin going to fill up)
all the above were in the corsa
ibiza, yet to be pulled in it, had a police car swing round and follow me when i was wearing a hoody and a hat must of assumed id stolen it but he soon turned off after i assume it came up the car was legit .
really should of bin pulled in it the other day for flying past a police car doing a little over the speed limit but thankfully he just sat behind me and turned off.

Only ever been stopped once because of 'Operation Tonic' which was to try and stop drink driving last christmas
I've always found the police have been fine as long as you show them a bit of respect and I've had plenty of non traffic related dealings with them in the past

I was on a promise on Valentines night, was driving to her house when i got caught doing 61 in a 40 zone.
Copper was an arse at first, ripped the keys out my ignition and gave me a bit verbal. He was very dubious about my identity too he even said i wasn't from Newcastle at one point.
He was alright in the end though, i think the matcho attitude is just something they use to try and deter you from commiting the offence again.
All the other dealings i've had with them, they've been sound aslong as i've shown them a bit of respect which i do.

When I had my scooter (16 at the time) i got pulled over for riding erratic, copper was following me fora t least 5-7mins with blues & twos on and i didn't realise until I went over some speed bumps Was so funny there was a Focus following and when i had pulled over a 4x4 copper pulled in front of me. Copper was a badger.
But got pulled few months ago about my number plates the ANPR couldn't read them so the officer spoek to me about them and asked me to change them over expalined why etc wasa sound copper tbh. I don't mind if I get pulled over and they are nicely spoken becuase it's their job.

Only been pulled once, for doing a silly speed in a 30 (although the copper thought it was a 40). Got a producer for it, but they were in a panda car. Was out driving with a mate the other week, who said there was a copper at the junction we just passed, must of been doing 45-50 in a 30, but they didn't follow at all.
All the coppers I have dealt with (from being on the right and wrong side of the law) have been fine, and I have dealt with a fair few! Had police dog car, transit connect van and a panda car outside my house once!

End of the day, if your legal, and doing nothing wrong, you have no worries. Scampering off like you have something to hide only means they will follow you. You could be smoking drugs, be a drunk driver, anything.
Im sure if you had an accident, or someone was beating you up in the street, I know who you would want there to help you. And it isn't mummy..
We've had cars broken into, bikes stolen, no police help at all, but I don't blame the overall police, I blame the goons who are running them all and taking away their powers.
I've got no silly reasons, they were all perfectly valid reason to pull me over looking back at my youth

Oh, actually I admitted to a 46mph in a 40 limit, and they gave me 3 points when i first started driving.
But that was my fault for admitting the speed and not keeping quiet as it was just a panda car. Ahhhh we all live n learn

What Daimo said really, if they are following you and you bolt down side streets it looks like you're trying to get away If you drove along a stretch of road, on what seems like a normal route, they would have eventually left.
