The most stupid one was in the corsa when I put a duel filliment bulb in the wrong way so when I pressed the brake it went dim, off the brake it got brighter

I always used to get pulled on my Escort & Fiesta Turbos, coppers woudlt accept I got out of bed and went to work to pay for my car lol they were convinced I was a dealer, even got asked to show my wage slip once cos he reckoned brickies didnt earn enough to have such a car!!!
I once got pulled in my Escort Cosworth because they wanted see my engine number. They had heard that some of their colleagues had pulled me previously and everything was ligit and my engine had numbers which they'd never seen on one by ours before lol They were made up

Ive only ever been pulled for speeding, which is fair enough, and not wearing my seatbelt in my Corsa as they couldnt see the harness. I also dont understand how some people always get stopped for 'no reason'

I stop quite a lot of vehicles, at different times of day and night. If you are one of the numpties who think it's clever to lap the town centre at 30 in 1st all night every night, with your pressed plates, foglights on etc etc, you will get pulled. If you are committing offences, you will get pulled - be it fogs, plates, bulb out, belt etc, if you are driving like a tool, you will get pulled.
There is no one reason why you will get pulled, can be any number of contributing factors.
However, if i stop you, and speak politely and civilly to you, I do not expect sarcastic comments, swearing, stupid behaviour. If you have committed offences, I do have a power of discretion as to how i deal with you - i.e verbal, ticket, court,. Why should I use that discretion and be reasonable if you are in my face, or talk to me like dirt?
Bear that in mind??

been pulled over in the corsa for:
1) taking a turn too fast even though i didn't. was just an excuse to breathalyse me.
2) speeding home (car kept cutting out at midnight and wanted to get home before it happened again)
3) speeding again i think this time my fault, got carried away.
4) followed and pulled up next to me to check if my front tints were legal or illegal. they didn't have a light measurement thing so let me go on my way.
fiesta:
5) pulled me over to check my VIN matches his records as my white fiesta came up as blue on their system. (dealership had messed up and wrote colour as blue on the log book).
6) parking on white zig zag lines next to a pelican crossing. it was about 2am in the morning and the shopping centre it was at was closed so no one would be using it.
focus:
7) doing over a ton on a motorway... had been sat at 70-80mph for an hour and wanted to do a bit of speed when the road had cleared of traffic. just my luck a police bike come down a slip road at that exact moment and caught me. got away with just a warning from the guy.
think i'm being harrassed tbh

Got pulled on my scooter, for illegal reg plates
Never got pulled in the corsa or the 106
Pulled in the Saxo for drugs, just a routine search as one had been seen like mine dealing at the time
Also got chased by the police helicopter in it, after speeding off the M62, and down a dual carriageway, Just got a telling off. Also pulled for a noisy exhaust, But he was sound saying how his civic type r would leave it for dead.
In the ibiza for speeding (Aparantly). He said it took him a while to catch up with me.
I was doing 60 down a dual carraige way, but he was waiting at 2 sets oof lights, so it would have took him a while (Must have lacked common sense)
On the bike last week, Doing 40 through a 30. Also for aparantly not having a licence, until i pulled it out of my pocket. He let me off as his in car camera wasn't working, and liked the look of the bike.
One for the coppers on here, Don't the officers have to check ALL equipment on board their vehicles, as well as their vehicles before they leave the station to see if everything is in full working order?

"Accused" of being on phone twice
"Accused" of no seatbelt
"Accused" of speeding several times
Tints
Number plate
Dangerous overtaking
No numberplate on front
Also been pulled several times simply for driving expensive cars to check my details.
EDIT: Forgot the most recent one. Apparantly "it looked as if" I was going to jump a red. Never done that in my life and sure I was stationary at the lights.
