paul j would be proud of that first post 
should've just ripped the front tints off even if he said he didn't have the time.
police are utter cunts at times.
luckily the ones who've pulled me over have let me go on my way after a few minutes.
but as said, most jut love the ''power'' they think they have and go home and tug one off in the shower thinking about what they've just done to some poor blokes life.

That copper does sound like a bit of a throbber. And if what you have said is true, then he (the copper) is talking loads of bullshit.

That shouldn't make a blind bit of difference because its his job to remain impartial. I would have asked for his badge number and made a complaint.

I've had a few dealings with the police, from both sides of the law. When I crashed the ibiza, some coppers turned up, he said that he had been on the way to work, saw some people on the other side of the road so came to check everything was all ok. Did the usual breathalyse and everything was all good.

on the first day that i had my brand new 04 plate c, i got pulled over. the copper who pulled me over commited a series of laughable errors. firstly accused me of driving illegally as i was driving my car a day to early as the new reg wasnt yet out. it was, he got his dates wrong. then my headlights( factory standard) were illegal, as they had a tinge of purple in them, they were just normal bi-xenon factory fit lights. my factory tints were also illegal. he also checked my tyres, just in case the 25 miles i had covered had worn them down.
i was cocky i will admit, purely because he was being a cunt and i knew i was perfectly legit and there was nothing at all he could do. so i allowed him 45 mins to make himself look like a muppet to me and the mrs, and we spent the whole time leaning against a wall smirking as he tried to find anything he could to try and punish me for something.
after he got bored, he gave me some speech which i cant remember word for word, but he finished off by saying if he saw me again he would pull me over again and seize my car. i actually laughed out loud at this and must have made him feel like a naked fat man with a small willy because he went cherry red and exploded at me screaming and shouting. it was, looking back, quite an enjoyable 45 minutes!

If you do happen to get a knob of a copper to deal with can you request to talk to someone else?
Like the equivalent of asking for the manager in a shop etc.

bi-xenon were found in the more expensive mercs and beemers at that time iirc.

Can't pull a copper up on being wrong when you don't know what your own car has.
