A SPECIAL ...SO NOT A POLICE OFFICER THEN.
I think most refer to them as "plastic coppers", stepping stone to the force, still in Uniform and still working with/for the police
Only spoke once with a special, conversation went like this:-
Tap on side window (I am sat in my car waiting for my mate who is at the cash machine), "is this your car?", "Yes it is" was my reply, "Are you insured for the car" "Yes I am, are you insured for yours?" was my reply, "would you mind waiting while we get a police officer to verify this information" (My freind now gets in the car and shuts his door) "Yes I would mind as im late already for picking up our girlfriends!, goodbye", engage 1st gear and leave!!.
Seriously mate give me a choice and im taking the easy option
